"It took us - parents and kids alike - to warm up to the school. The leader teacher for the 1yo class is great, seems to genuinely enjoy our kids and is thoughtful in making their transitions throughout the day as smooth as possible. They get to experience new play activities and I am so glad they go outside so often. I have been concerned about inadequate ratios (typically at drop-off), diaper rashes from delayed diaper changes, school cleanliness, and staff turn-over in 2yo classroom and floaters."

"My children have been enrolled at La Petite for over a year. I have mixed feelings on the daycare as a whole. Pros:My children have made many friendsThey get time outside every day, weather permittingThere are some very kind teachers, including the directors.They take/pick up my school aged child from school. Which is very helpfulCons:No alternative options for meals that are provided, so if its spicy, or something my child will not eat, he goes hungry. They offer snack but sometimes its simply a boiled egg and or saltine crackers...Doesnt seem like preschool class has much direction. I dont see that my 4 year old has learned too much or progressed when it comes to ABCs, writing her name, etc.Some teachers are just not that great with kids. My older child has told me many things that they have said/done that seem very out of line with being nurturing."

"The school has been very accommodating from the start, very responsive & I appreciate that. I doubted the staff’s enthusiasm towards the kids & professionalism when parents present, which definitely could improve with some of the teachers still. My concern is cleanliness of the room/floors/toys - especially in the toddler areas."

"We love our teachers, director, and assistant director! It's great to watch my kids be curious, grow, and learn. They come home talking about Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Annette and often reference what they learned that day. I know they are well taken care of and actively learning from when we drop them off to when we pick them up."

"La Petite Academy in Thornton is an excellent childcare facility. My child is excited to go to everyday and is always in great spirits when I pick him up. I'm lucky to have great teachers to help with my child's development."

"The staff are always friendly and are very strict with security which make me feel my kids are safe."

"The teachers and staff are very friendly and very kind to all the children...Thank you"

"I'm extremely happy with La Petite Academy in Thornton. The staff is friendly and personable. My child loves the staff, everyone makes him feel important and welcome. I went from being a stay at home mom with my first child, to a working mom with my second. La Petite has exceeded my expectations with my son's education and development. I wish I enrolled my first child here. It feels good when dropping him off knowing he will be happy and well cared for until I return. Thank You,Kelly"

"It has been ok. My son only goes during summer months, one to two days a week."

"Communication needs to improve. It seemed most of the activities on the summer calendar didn't happen."

"The teachers are friendly and my child is really growing, and developing. The teachers truly care about her well-being and development."

"I love the school and the staff. My son is so happy here and that makes me happy too."

"The only thing that really bothered me was immediately after walking in the main door you were immediately able to see and have access to the Pre-K children without any other security obstacles. You could clearly see every child, teacher and hear every direction given, if anyone came in the school with any negative intention they would be literally less then 5 feet away from the kids with no security and no time for the the staff to react and inform the rest of the staff."

"Posted my review on Yelp... Very positive and very happy with the decision to enroll my son here..."
