"love it and tell everyone to send kids there!"
"I have nothing but positive things to say about La Petite Polaris! My son enrolled here at the end of October, saying only a few words, introverted & a very picky eater. At the beginning of December he is signing songs, saying more words, using sign language, following routines, interacting with peers and eating everything the school prepares! This transition has been an answered prayer, and we are so thankful for Ms. Tie & Ms. Coco and all the staff here for welcoming us!"
"I have been overall disappointed with this school. There are some good teachers we have experienced that care about the children. However, they are not staffed or provided the tools they need to better engage the children. Everyone seems burnt out - management included. At times it feels like management is at the discretion of the teachers because of staffing issues. The only reasons we are still at this center are 1) we have found another school to change to next year and 2) it is difficult to get into other centers because of the overall childcare issues. It hasn't been terrible but it has not been worth our money."
"Since the new director Maggie took over the experience at the school has been amazing!"
"Gone down in overall service quality after earlier management or director left. Now seems like only care about how to up charge more."
"Ever since Ms. Maggie took over, we have been absolutely thrilled with how the center is being run. While Ms Christine was director, we only stayed because our child adored their teachers, who had their best interest at heart. With Ms. Maggie, we have seen more events for the children, a new basketball program to try, and every time we set foot in the center, she greets us by name and makes us feel so welcome. Sometimes it's hard to make it work financially, but we make sacrifices to ensure our child can stay at a center where he is so thoroughly loved."
"Overall a pretty good experience. I would like to see another teacher rotate in to help during diapering times to keep the children better behaved."
"We have been extremely happy and satisfied with the care our son gets at la petite."
"We have loved the school. There was a very bad period for one year with change in director and lots of staff turnover hut it is getting better with the new director"
"My daughters teachers are absolutely phenomenal, Miss Christa and Miss Stephanie truly care about my daughter and i trust she is safe and happy with them."
"We were happier when we first came to the school. Things have been a bit rocky lately with so much staff turnover. With floaters, I feel they don’t all take responsibility for the class as if it was their own. It feels like some of them only run it as a fill-in, temporary position. They’re not as engaged, they just make sure the kids are safe."
"This school has been so inconsistent and has mismanaged staff. Allowing good teachers to leave over hours/pay when the market is already hard to get teachers was a big mistake. A lack of emphasis on providing stability to the classrooms and support for the teachers had made this place a mess. The communication from the admin is so poor."
"The previous director, Cori was a dream and the school was thriving. Every since she left its been terrible"
"Disappointed with the current staffing situation! Not receiving services I signed up for. Due to staff issues, rooms are being combined and my 6+ year old kid is forced to stay on a cot for 2 hours every day."
"We loved la petite and even recruited family members to move over. Leadership change has created a drastic negative shift. Staff have been bleeding out. There is no sense of accountability."
"it used to be great when our 5 year old was there. Consistent teachers and administration. When administration switched over it seemed like a constant battle of no one knowing what was going on and tons of turnover which implies an administration issue."
