"I loved the warm welcome I received from the director, first impressions are everything! Above all I felt my child would be safe, treated fairly and equally & happy."
"Painful - after painful hurdle"
"My daughter gets so excited in the mornings to go to school. The staff has helped us a ton with her development and being able to reach the milestones… that I would honestly struggle without help/guidance. I also enjoy the relationship the staff has with my whole family. They truly have became extended family to our family of three."
"My general experience has been great. If I have had any questions about anything, I am always responded to in a timely manner. I have noticed such a change in my toddler as he has been learning and developing. I noticed his interactions and social skills have also improved. He is very comfortable and happy in his environment and his teachers are very loving and nurturing and they genuinely care about the kids."
"I know that we are in between directors and there are a lot of changes happening at the school but honestly I could not be more happy with the infant room and the level of care my daughter receives. These teachers are truly heros to me and have helped me so much with the development of her. I couldn't be more proud of La Petite."
"We are pleased with the care of our daughter. However, we are not happy with the unresolved billing issues that we deal with on a weekly basis."
"Overall, our experience has been positive; however, we feel that due to the recent price increase, we have decided to look for other options in the area. That having been said, we would still recommend the school to others, especially if their child is in the Infant of 1 Year Old classroom. Those teachers are phenomenal and are 100% the reason why we chose La Petite and have had a positive experience. The amount of care they show for our child is exceptional and we have really enjoyed getting to know them over the course of the year."
"We really love this school, mostly because my daughter’s teachers (Ms. LaShanda and Ms. Chelsea) are so kind, outgoing, and dynamic. We are heartbroken that both teachers have quit. Hoping great new staff members can be found quickly, but I am not optimistic."
"The school has had loving staff members but they rotate too frequently. I feel like my child can’t love any of his teachers because they won’t last."
"My overall experience has been great. I like the teachers and so does my kids."
"We have attended La Petite for almost 5 years and have had a great experience."
"They took the time to learn about our family and in a few short weeks, really got to know our daughter. Sadly, we moved away, and over four months later, my daughter still talks fondly about her teacher at La Petite Academy on Olde Towne Road in Williamsburg. "
"Overall I am pleased with the school. Having cameras in the room and an App that updates us throughout the day is wonderful! The only downside I've noticed, but has gotten better in the last couple of weeks, is there has been a little too much screen time with the tablets playing videos for the children. We noticed that our child wanted to look at our phones or tablet at home because they were used to it at school. But, like I said before, it has gotten better and I haven't really noticed any screen time in the past few weeks."
"The teachers are very loving to my child and always ask how I am as well. My child is actively picking out sight words and tells me how much she loves all of the teachers in the building. They work as a family and you can see their teamwork when working to help supervise the children. I already recommend this center to friends as I am very pleased with my daughters progress."
"Overall, we are pleased with this school. I know my child is safe and loved. However, I am very unhappy that the children watch the IPAD daily for at least an hour."
"My overall experience has been amazing. Both the director and assistant director are great! They are always engaged with the children and the teachers seem to be happy."
