La Petite Academy has majorly impacted our child's social and emotional skills which has helped to foster our child's development. The staff has always communicated with our family for major events and has never left us in the dark. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with them and look forward to continuing to do so. The school regularly incorporates hands on learning and partners with outside organizations to engage the students. Our child looks forward to attending each day and always has something positive to discuss regarding each school day. We highly recommend La Petite Academy to anyone who is looking for a center that values safety without compromising a high quality educational experience.

Couldn’t have asked for a better facility for my boys! My youngest was 18mos when we enrolled him, and it was such a hard transition for him being away from me and my husband, but the staff made him feel so comfortable and loved. Fast forward three years later, we’re still enrolled! The staff here have embraced my kids as their own, as they do all the kids, and they adore the heck out of them. The teachers are very involved and in tune with the kids needs and emotions on a day-to-day basis, and always engage with them. Summer camp is always a blast, and my oldest loves all the field trips planned each week. Designated homework time in the school age class during the academic year is SO helpful for working parents. Amanda and DeeDee in Administration are such wonderful, warm women. We love our school!

I have a child that is starting Pre-k and has been here since he was 18m and a daughter he started with before and after school care. My son has gone through a lot of life changes as a COVID baby and a baby or divorce. The staff and teachers here have been great and give him all the extra emotional needs and cuddles that he needs. He loves the songs and activities and has made such great friends here.

Was going to send my son here for preschool and after touring it, I changed my mind immediately after walking in. I had scheduled an appointment to tour and the director or whoever didn’t even write it down even though I have an email stating the day and time I will be in. It felt super dirty and all the staff were sitting and not interacting with the kid and just felt very chaotic in there.

I tried reaching out to see get more information, couldn’t even get a reply back. Yet I get promotion emails from them all the time. If I can’t even get a simple response and no one ever contacts back why would I feel safe sending my kid here? Yeah I’ll pass. I wouldn’t send my kid here.

First time picking up my grandchild and I was NOT identified. I even asked three different times if they wanted my id and no one said yes. They allowed me to walk out with her and I didn’t even have to sign for her. Needless to say after 2 days there we pulled her out. We won’t leave her with someone who has no regards for her safety

I wanted so badly to like this childcare! Unfortunately my child’s SECOND day at this facility my child was sent home with an adult without being checked out or having an ID checked. They were asked 4 times to check the ID and then just said “she was busy” I guess enrolling new students is more important than keeping current ones safe! I called to disenroll and Amanda said my child was released because they recognized the baby the adult was holding. Great, now two children are with an adult who you have no idea of. This is unacceptable. I have worked in childcare, my kids have been enrolled in care at another place since 6 weeks old and there are ALWAYS ID checks no matter what. I am so disappointed. If you care about your child’s safety do not send them here. It’s not mom anxiety your feeling on the tour, it’s the bad vibes of this whole building!
