"La Petite Academy has been a great place for child's first school experience. We have mostly cared for our child at home since his birth, so it was a difficult decision to transition to day care. We appreciate the support from the Infant 1 teachers (Nicole, Taniya, and Trenee) in making this transition a fairly smooth one for our child. And we are thankful to the school's directors (Janet and Trae) for their care and support. We are especially thankful for the school's flexibility in accommodating certain needs (like dietary restrictions / preference). Over all La Petite Academy has been a positive experience."
"At first I didn’t have an issues with the daycare. But I’ve noticed teachers snatching up children like rag dolls, pushing children, and not keeping the floors cleaned."
"I am so happy I chose La Petite. Everyone here is friendly and always helpful with any questions you may have. The teachers do a fantastic job informing parents of the kid's daily activities. My son looks forward to going here every day because he is always engaged and learning. I have not had any issues. I highly recommend! "
"I love the teachers of the school and some of their curriculum. However, I do not like the set up of the school. With it not being a sink in every room and bathrooms where needed. Kids can run out of their classroom at any time. The playground is one big hazardous space. If these things get fixed the school would be as great as the people working there."
"Great teacher's loving and patient with my daughter"
"Love their patience and understanding. They are very calm and make stressful situations more at ease. I know my little one is in good care even when he’s not being at his best."
"Communication and responsiveness to issues have been lacking. Most staff are nice and want to be there, but there are some that do not and raise their voice to the children far too much for my liking.The curriculum is good and my son has learned a lot, but the prices are ridiculous and have been increased multiple times with the excuse of COVID and then inflation. Additionally, prices continue to rise as children progress in age, which is definitely a backward practice."
"Really good and caring teachers"
"So happy the hours of operation changed"
"Love it! Our daughter is special needs, so we're moving her into the public school so she can have more specialized care. The thought of her having to stop going to La Petite completely broke our hearts, so we worked out a one day a week schedule. She'll go for Spring Break and at least one day a week over the summer. We might do after school care next school year as well. It means that much to us that she maintains her bond with her La Petite family beacuase that's what they are, they are family to us. The curriculum is important as well, but the nurturing and learning how to build relationships, that's what's so crucial to us."
"As somebody who works there, I feel unseen and feel as if my child is treated as less than just because I’m there. As a mom, I feel like his teachers simply don’t want to be there. They always seem angry and frustrated. No warm welcome or praises. I only hear the bad my child does, not the good. Ms. Jenna is the only exception. She is phenomenal with the kids and shows she loves and cares for them."
"The staff are really hard workers and excellent communicators. I feel safe leaving my baby with them"
"My daughter has loved the preschool and preK program! The updates on SproutAbout are awesome. "
"My child was enrolled at 6 weeks old and is now 4. We have loved this school from day one but in the past few months, it has become unbearable. The experience we have had in the last few months has all but wiped away the greatness this school once was. I do not know if we will be returning in the new year and will definitely no longer recommend."
"Frustrating! The lack of care and the nonchalantness has brought me to lose confidence in the level of care that is being provi"
