"We have been at the Summerville LA Petite since January 2013. My 5 yr old started at the age of 2. He barely spoke as his hearing was diminished. Following his ear surgery and the return of his hearing, he has bloomed. Every teacher at the school has loved and nurtured both of my son's beyond measure.Mrs. Linda teaches my 5 year old...who will begin kindergarten in the fall reading at a 2nd grade level. She is so amazing with the kids, educationally and emotionally. All off the teachers make such a difference in the daily lives of my children. I will forever be grateful for their assistance in raising my 2 boys."
"Lapetite is a household name has been for years so when you think Lapetite ur like yesss but this is far from that it's sad that I'd rather pay another facility more for better quality... I understand things people fall short sometimes but from the time we enrolled till now things are only getting worse"
"We absolutely love this school. So glad we found it"
"They are amazing! The staff is very professional and genuinely care about all the children they care for. They do lots of educational activities, arts and crafts, outside time, reading, and so much more. My little one absolutely loves going to school, and I love the fact that I get updates about her day and can check up on her with the video stream whenever I like. This is a great facility!"
"We have been highly satisfied with this school and teachers but there seems to be a change in structure lately and staff seem stressed. The “feel” of the center is off."
"The level of friendliness has decreased significantly in the last year and the level of caring is dropping. It’s easy to spot which teachers are there just for a paycheck and who actually likes working with children. There is a lot of cell phone usage we’ve seen on the live cameras, especially in the afternoons, and attention is not being paid to the children. The food is just plain gross half of the time."
"Amazing! Everyone treats our daughter and us like family. She’s always happy to go to daycare and all smiles when they pass her off at the end of the day!"
"The staff has been very informative and friendly. My grandson transitioned from the toddler class to the two's class over a few days instead of at once and I feel that made him more comfortable. Communication is key for me, and the brightwheel app keeps me informed throughout the day and allows communication between the staff and myself. I have never liked the idea of daycare, however I feel very confident leaving my grandson at LaPetite and highly recommend them."
"Excellent staff interaction."
"I love it I love the director and the teaching staff as well they give me a safe warm feeling so I can leave my child in their care without worrying"
"Teachers and staff are very friendly and know the kids by name and can make out there voices in walmart when they hear them"
"Excellent staff and communication"
"We LOVE this daycare and so does our daughter! Everyone is so friendly and open and communicative."
"I was excited to start here and had a great impression when I interviewed. I am vastly disappointed with the follow through. It is unheard of to place a 2 month old in a high chair."
"The previous director answered all our questions and conerns. The new director makes excuses and says that is what corporate decided and she has no say in it.I think that is a crock. No notice of changes no incident reports and no call when child has 102.8 fever."
"I have used la petite academy for more than ten years in different states we have 3 girls. We have never had an issue that was not able to be resolved until recently when a new manager came in and I had to speak with the director so is very much unplugged and self serving."
