"There’s a lack of leadership and structure. Sometimes I don’t feel like anyone knows what’s going on."
"All the staff at the school mean well. There seems to be a staff shortage as teachers are always moving between rooms. There was a recent notification sent to only some of the parents that there was a CPS investigation at the school. While we have been sending our child here there have been at least three different directors, and the overall product the school puts out seems to go down each time there is a new director. Most of the friends that our child have made have left the school over similar concerns."
"The teachers are wonderful for the most part and care deeply for the kids and that’s what has kept us here.Communication around trivial things is good, important communication around big things is weak and often not provided until parents hound the staff.Price is high - I am all for paying our teachers well but I would love to know where all our money goes. We’ve dealt with several major things at this location that would be avoidable if corporate gave a crap about the school - consistent HVAC issues, trees falling, insane things that put us in difficult positions with work and we’re rarely given fair pricing during those weeks when we have to pay outside of La petite for emergency childcare."
"For the most part I’ve been satisfied, sometimes the staffing can be an issue."
"Everything has been great so far. We feel like our child is being well taken care of and learning the important everyday skills he needs."
"Would recommend school to other parents"
"Great teachers and communication - they really seem to love the kids"
"We’re so happy with our decision to go to La Petite! Our teachers are wonderful, staff is engaging, and we feel safe and nurtured."
"The staff is so team oriented. Everyone says hello to my daughter by name as they walk by when I pick her up which feels really thoughtful and special. Updates throughout the day are consistent and responses to me are super quick."
"The teachers in the twos 1 class are amazing! Our daughter has learned so much and is excited to go to school each day. They have creative activities planned each day and we enjoy seeing the photos and videos."
"It was fantastic 3-4 years ago when my oldest son joined. When Ms. Emily left the director position, along with staffing issues, it hasn’t been quite the same. Also, communication with the newer app isn’t as robust. With that being said, the teachers there are very sweet and I know my son is happy and safe."
"Overall we are pleased. At times it can feel like for the cost that some of the facilities could be improved. We have had more pleasant experiences with some teachers vs other, however overall satisfied."
"Overall, very good. Lots of caring staff and child really likes the school and the structure is good. There has been a lot of turnover with management and it is clear that things have not been fully under control, though I think current management is doing a good job to get things back on track. Sproutabout is terrible :( Do not have the ability to message with teachers. Used to receive notes from them frequently.My child's class teachers also frequently change without warning. A bit more communication on that front would be welcome."
"Excellent experience with La Petite so far, the Infant 1 and 2 classroom teachers are so caring, attentive and positive. I was anxious about sending my child to daycare but I have been completely reassured by the quality teachers, and our child is loving his experience there."
"Over all this has been a wonderful experience. The directors and teachers are so loving and caring. They listen to our concerns and emery is thriving there. Since Nicole has taken over, things have improved greatly."
