"Very good curriculum, polite and responsible staff. My child has been in good hands and it shows. Happy son.. happy daddy!!"
"We love LaPetite, and Miss Teneshia is an amazing acting director!! All of the teachers and staff are completely wonderful."
"The staff and teachers are fabulous!!! I amThrilled with the activities my childParticipates in every day. The pictures and live video stream are a plus. My child runs to the classroom everyday. They make her feel loved empowered and enable her to explore. She comesHome happy and is excited to tellMe about her day."
"We loved the school when we first started there. The former director Erica was absolutely wonderful. She had a genuine concern for not just the kids, but parents, and staff as well. The teachers were wonderful and we truly felt our kids were getting a quality education. The new director Kelly Richardson has been in place for about two years and the entire school has gone downhill. The atmosphere is awful. Teacher turnover is increasingly high and everyone seems unhappy. My son comes home every day telling me that his teacher just screams at the whole class. He hates going there now. We have had so many safety concerns on top of this. It’s basically low quality babysitting at this stage. We are actively trying to leave LaPetite."
"Great Director and teachers. The focus on healthy and activity is such a relief and we have had nothing but a great experience. The turnover with teachers should be indication that they need to be paid more - please consider this as teachers are the most important part of the school and have had so much to deal with. The compensation should be more than competetive with other school so good teachers don't leave."
"I am so grateful that I was able to get into this location and have great peace of mind when I leave my baby with the infant department. The infant Lead and teachers are so great and have worked so much with my child. The transition was difficult for him but through their dedication, they have made my life at homeeasier with just the little things they have taught my son. Thank you to Kelly and Teneshia who are running the show up front and are so friendly. My very first interactions with them have been positive and they are always so warm and welcoming at pickup or drop off. Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done for my child."
"Really wonderful. Kelly is an amazing director"
"We are very happy that we enrolled our son at La Petite. The staff is always enthusiastic and welcoming. The director does a great job communicating and leading a safe nurturing environment at the school. We have been impressed with the patience and care demonstrated by all of his teachers. We would highly recommend La Petite Academy."
"Infant room was so awesome and the teachers were great, like i said, I haven't had much interaction with toddler teachers. Ms. Kelly is amazing and so personal. Really makes me feel comfortable when he reaches out for her and is excited to go to class."
"The director, Kelly, is phenomenal. I'm so worried she's going to be transferred to another location, which is usually what happens to the really good ones! She has weathered the pandemic like a champ. My youngest, who has a strong personality adores Kelly, which says a lot!"
"Great staff! Enthusiastic and caring."
"My twins realy enjoy LPA everyday!"
"I like most things about this school except for not helping with cleaning his face and not making sure his pants isn’t falling off him after using the restroo"
"As the COVID pandemic has restricted parent interactions in the physical classroom, we've seen a dramatic decrease in communication from teachers. While the director tries to update us on a daily basis, she is clearly task saturated with documenting temperatures and doing health screenings at check in/out. We rarely (if ever) see our children's teacher and often have NO idea how their day was. As this situation is not going away any time soon, perhaps there's a way to provide general updates from the teachers themselves on a daily basis?"
"Overall the experience has been great. Clearly Erika was amazing so we are hopeful the new director is as great as her. We feel the positive experience is significantly attributable to her leadership, especially through the pandemic."
"It’s a great school and doing a great job in all the covid-19 chaos"
