"New director is great! Ms. Vickie, Ms. C, and Ms. Tracy are great with kids. They keep them interested in learning."
"It has been a joy for Penelope to go to LaPetite. They are very friendly and any concerns I have are addressed in a timely manner. It is a safe and nurturing environment. We could not be any happier with the services they provide."
"This is my 2nd child at this school. I am very satisfied with the service"
"I just love how the staff take care of and love these kids like their own. They go above and beyond to keep the kids on a normal routine during these times while still msking sure they are aware of what's going on in the world today. I appreciate every teacher that has not stopped coming to work so that us parents that's been working on the frontline can still work and maintain our homes. It's a great feeling that childcare with this facility is the last thing I worry about because I know my child is safe while in their care. Thank you."
"My experience was ok until the main teacher left. Now you never know who will be in charge of your child or which room he will be in"
"We knew it instantly!! You can feel it in the Atmosphere. The staff is genuine, friendly and honest. The facility is clean. Brightwheel is highly utilized as a communication platform. Love the pictures, videos and updates throughout the day. We have been pleased with social and educational development. One day while driving home, our daughter started humming her ABC’s out of nowhere at 19 months. Now at 21 months, she loves books, story time and songs. This is a big help for two parents who work fifty-five hours a week. My wife and would like to express our gratitude to the individuals who have dedicated themselves. Those who have made a warm and positive impact in the start of our daughters life. These are the tools that we need keep our community positive and growing. “ Future Forward. “"
"La Petite on Bethabara Rd has a well meaning staff, but many are inexperienced. The environment is often chaotic with skewed teacher/child ratios. On top of all that the facility is not clean."

"The director and staff at this location have been excellent. They're concerned for the kids entrusted to them, will address if there is an issue, and will talk with you if you have a concern. Very pleased."
"My experience with the school in the beginning was great! Now the turnover rate is high which is bad for the children. The director will cover themself even if it means fabricating a story. I have tried to address reoccurring issues with the director that has not been resolved, which forced me to call cooperate. The front door that is supposed to be locked all the time is propped opened more then what I feel comfortable with. I assumed that the locked door was for security purposes. Anyone can walk in the school off of the street and do as they please. I hope that the school will get back to the great reputation it once had."
"Pretty good over all, I love Miss C and Miss Annette. Sometimes I’ve seen other kids being left on the bus-which is a concern but that teacher got fired I think. Also, another teacher couldn’t find a 2 or 3 year old the other day and his mom was there to get him. He ended up being in the back of another class I believe. But I do recommend that teachers keep a better watch on the kids. I’ve seen teachers on tablets and stuff some when children are awake and playing. I get it, I do it too. But I only have 1 kid-not like 8. So I would recommend that director get a little more strict about phone and tablet policies and making sure the kids are safe and not running off."
"Only concern I have with this school is the teacher to student ratio. It seems that there is a lot of students in a classroom and not enough teachers"
"Overall we like the school we have just had a hard time keeping our child healthy since we started at the school.That is why I said sanitization could probably be better."
"Since my son have been going there he has learned a lot the educational there it's good they also give them homework which is good as well."
"Children enjoy going and teachers and director are open to assisting with concerns. Also enjoy activities offered as well"
"Really? You don’t want my comments"
"It has been ok. The director is nice and I feel like she genuinely cares. I guess I expected more since I have friends that go to other La Petites and it is a chain daycare company."
