"Great experience.My child has learned alot. I feel confident she is ready for kindergarten when she is of age"
"La Petite is an amazing childcare center. My family switched over to La Petite during the pandemic because our previous childcare center was not handling the situation in a way we felt comfortable. The switch was the best thing we have done. The staff is amazing, especially Mrs. Julie and Mrs. Isabelle! My little one sometimes has had an issue with transitioning classes and they have always worked with him! I highly recommend this center to anyone that asks!"
"Had a better experience at a previous daycare (Childtime), but overall it’s ok."
"The staff is nice and helps with any questions."
"We love our teachers, we love the care our child receives. I wish the posters that are put up on the door were also loaded into SproutAbout, since both parents alternate with drop off. Overall, we are very happy."
"My son whom is 3 years old has been attending the La Petite Academy in Midvale for a few months now. He was placed in a preschool room. One reason I chose this particular daycare are for the reasons they provide camera access to the parents to check in throughout the day. We've had nothing but great experience from the first day my son started attending this daycare.
On a random day I decided to check in on my son to see how his day is going and I was baffled at what I discovered. His caretaker who's he's had since day one was physically disciplining him . I seen my son start to have a toddler tantrum and try to fall out of his chair the teacher grabbed him by his arm tightly as I had a clear view from the camera and lifted him up halfway by one arm points with her other hand in his face screaming at him and shaking his body slightly back and forth with her other hand as she holds his arm. My son is visibly crying hard as I can see. I couldn't believe this was happening. My son immediately run to another teacher and receives a hug from her and she starts to comfort him. I immediately log off the app and call the front desk which the director and the assistant director was out of the building at this time so I told whoever was covering the front desk which was a male to go in my son's room and talk to the caretaker do not handle my son this way I would pick him up early.
As I go to pick up my son the director and assistant director have no idea regarding the situation they were not let know about what had happened as if this wasn't a big deal. The following day the caretaker was back at his classroom as if nothing had happened as if she just got a slap on the wrist and everything was okay . I assume she received no disciplinary action at all since she arrived back at the school the next day working her full hours.
I'm currently in the process of filing a Statement of Allegations. As I can see the director of this facility does not see this as Serious situation by letting this teacher come back to the same classroom the following day I will be reporting her and the day caretaker."
"Always wonderful. I feel we work together for the benefit of my children and am comfortable bringing up anything I want to discuss."
"My hija a aprendido mucho en esta escuela el inglés y en sus conocimientos y esta muy feliz ala hora de recogerla y me da seguridad al dejarla en esta escuela."
"Overall very pleased. I'm more comfortable than I ever thought u would be with daycare.My daughter impresses me with the things she says and knows that she could only have learned at school thru books and games."
"Great experience in the school. Teachers and directors are wonderful people who are motivated and engaged in my children’s education and well being. The outside of the school must be made more safe, specifically the parking lot. See prior details"
"Our family loves this school. The kids are well cared for and receive a quality education. I’ve really seen my kids grow and develop while at this school. The directors are fantastic and the school’s response to COVID has been very reassuring. The kids really love their teachers and we love speaking with them (as the pandemic permits). Thank you for all that you do for our kids."
"We love the teachers and director. Our children have received wonderful care and education. If we ever would have a disagreement we know we could work it out, bit we haven't even had any concerns."
"Since the beginning our experience with the school has been excellent. We felt very comfortable with our daughter attending La Petite Academy. The staff is friendly, professional, and caring. I highly recommend this school for anyone that is looking for great child care."
