"It's was kind of chaotic for me being a first time parent. I was having terrible anxiety about leaving my baby. They made sure to reassure me as much a I needed and have been great at making me and my baby comfortable."
"Michelle has been amazing and supportive with our son! Natasha has also been very helpful. We appreciate their willingness to support our child’s physical, social, and educational development!"
"LaPetite Waunakee has been an incredible experience for both of our girls and our family in general. We love the educational experiences they’re receiving each day. It’s truly evident that staff care for and know our family. We’re so grateful for the beautifully inclusive classroom communities our girls get to be a part of. We love the diversity of staff and students and would highly recommend this center to anyone who wants their kids to learn and grow academically and socially."
"My kid is always happy and safe while attending this school. I wish some teachers will engage more with them and not have phones to show them videos (no matter if is for kids) Less screen exposure would be the ideal and more educational activities with guidance. Didactical songs to sing together to improve language development. Gardening activities, learning chores etc This school is not bad but can get better with a better curriculum that doesn't sounds good on paper but you can see in your kid when they come back home talking about their new discoveries etc"
"Avoid this school until drastic and immediate improvements have been made. I wish someone would have warned me prior to enrolling my child."
"We couldn't be happier with the leadership, teachers, and overall experience at LPA Waunakee!"
"It has exceeded my expectations. I was a little nervous to attend a “corporate” daycare school after coming from in-home care, but it’s been so great for everyone. My girls are really thriving and I’ve been so happy with the care they receive. I love getting to see what they work on during the day and what they learn. The teachers have all been really great, too."
"We love LPA Waunakee and feel like the staff is family!"
"Very good, other than the price."
"Overall very happy. I do feel nervous about the child-teacher ratio in my son's room and I don't love that they have to use a step stool with two steps to access the skinks, often without a teacher nearby. However things seem to work without frequent problems."
"I feel like the staff (director and teachers) have been really nice and helpful and seem to interact fine with my child, but my child doesn't seem to be very intellectually stimulated here. I also think the place is too small and they need more areas for the children to move around/play indoors when the weather isn't great. The outdoor space is also a little bit lackluster."
"Overall, I’m very pleased. I wish I could get to know the teachers a bit more since I only have very limited interaction at drop off. My husband usually picks her up. I love the SproutAbout app. I love getting to check in and see her and receive updates."
"La Petite of Waunakee has taken care of my child in the same way she would be cared at home, and I don't have any concerns with school and teachers."
"We love the administration staff, the teachers we’ve experienced, and the attentiveness."
"Honestly, great. As costs continue to rise, it would be nice to see more value for the investment (ie, teacher to child ratio thinned out a but), but the staff that are at the school (and have stayed with the school) are great. I also love the new chef and menu options he offers... a nice variety of menu choices from day to day and week to week. He offers fresh fruit and veggie options, which sometimes I steal for my own meal planning... great addition to the staff! I realize this location may not control the costs of tuition so the 8s and 9s provided throughout this survey are more directed at corporate. If more is being charged, more tangibles should be received. We love the school, staff, and Director."
