My infant has been so happy and well taken care of! I love the fact that I can see him whenever I'd like to on their app through the cameras. Definitely eases my worries during my work day!

We have used this school for several years now. Miss Becka was a teacher here over 14 years ago when my oldest attended this school.

While our smallest child can be a handful at times, the staff at la petite shows a lot of patience with him. Most of the time he’s very loving and fun to be around! However there are days when a 3-4 year old just acts out. I do appreciate all the extra effort I get from Deb and Becka.

We have never had an issue with this school. All teachers have been professional and helpful of anything we have ever asked for. Including miss Mona !

Our boy loves to go to school and see the teachers he has made tons of friends. The curriculum and events they have for the children go above and beyond what most places offer.

I would recommend this daycare to anyone! We really enjoy working with the director and staff at this location!

This place has been so amazing! My youngest recently started with them and she is believed to be on the spectrum. I worry constantly. The camera accessibility has eased many fears and anxieties. I was confused about the days payment was due and Debra was super sweet and helped me work it out without my baby losing her spot. The classes are very immaculate and clean and the staff is very sweet an attentive. My babygirl has already shown development and has said a few more words since attending! She tried to put her own shoe on this morning ! I could literally cry tears of joy and brag about this place all day right now! They send home photos of special activities and have an amazing interactive app that acts somewhat like a Facebook for your child's daycare and it's literally the best thing I've ever seen! Photo cred to the school! This was when they had the petting zoo this week!

Our children (3yo & 6mo) have been at this La Petite since 3 months old and we cannot say enough about the experience we have had.
To start, both of our children came to La Petite with special medical needs (oldest was a helmet baby, second has a very weak immune system) and right away Ms. Debbie and Ms. Becca made sure the infant room teachers could have 1:1 time with me to walk through the things to look out for and the disability paperwork the doctor's completed. The teachers have been tremendous at keeping us informed on both children's daily activities (eating/learning), but they also give us a heads up on things like when they are having an emotionally off day and laughing with us about their goofiness.
The bond I've seen my children make with teachers and other students is another important thing to note. My oldest wakes up excited to go to school and always talks about her friends.
Finally, we've witnessed first hand how seriously the staff takes safety/concerns/complaints we bring to them by looking at the camera feed, addressing staff issues, and even having to let us know when our child was the target of another child's violent behavior (yup, that's a thing).
My family may be moving in the near future and one of my biggest concerns is moving the children out of La Petite where I know everyone really knows and cares about my children.

Both of my children have gone to this school since they were 12 weeks old, my oldest graduated VPK recently. The school has been incredibly accommodating, flexible, and nurturing to both of my kids, one of them being pretty challenging at times. They have gone above and beyond on behavioral plans and have always treated me and my kids with the utmost respect, patience, and kindness. Just like any other business, staffing is a challenge, things haven't always gone perfectly, but I have found that in my experience, the management of this school is always willing to take feedback, make adjustments, and work with you. I highly recommend this school.

I’ve called a couple of times on Mrs Deb. Her supervisor is Mrs Kelly. I’ve learned over time. Because she has degrees and has been there a while. What Mrs Deb does will be swept under the rug. I watched her grab a 2 year by the arm and put her face in his face for at least 3-5 minutes. I glanced down at my watch, grabbed the time. And started making calls. I was offered a transfer only if the other location had room. Unfortunately there was no room. Which only lite a fire in me. Because I can’t afford to worry about my daughter. These people with degrees are thought different than a lot of people. Not only are they thought these redirection tactics. But in all honesty knows. They shouldn’t touch those kids. I felt like this review is needed because a lot of us parents are in need, but we don’t need our children to gain any type of trauma or anxiety from this place at 2-5 years old. I hope I run into the mother or father of that child. That baby needs to be moved from their care. Because if it’s alright for the director to make those moves. I’m pretty sure, she makes it okay for her favorite staff to do it too.

God, I’m asking you to fix this place that ur children are in. I’m asking you God, to protect all the little lives you have in that building on a daily bases. God, you know at times it’s no understanding, but open all eyes please. Thank you. In your name. 🙏 Amen

I enrolled my son a few months back he’s been through some things and thought that this center was compassionate and caring one of the teachers got angry with him one day cursed at him , this past Monday he was throwing a temper tantrum not hurting anyone just screaming and having a breakdown . My son informed me that the director was yelling in his face and told him I needed to get him medication , then proceeded to take a picture of a scratch on his arm without my permission …. The director is not personable she’s not friendly and frankly I don’t think she should be working with children. He was at another daycare for 2 years before this one and had no issues like I’ve had with this school. Instead of helping the situation with my sons trauma they’ve traumatized him even more. Thanks Lapetite for nothing. I do not recommend this school and I will never enroll my child in this school ever again. Ms robin ms Anna and Ms Mona are the best ones they have other than that their staff should be re-evaluated. And on top of it once they un enrolled him his vpk voucher was null and void he can’t even participate in the graduation ceremony at his new school this is so detrimental and he should be able to have the achknowledgement from the hard work he’s put in….I’m extremely disappointed and I’m going to make sure to never recommend this school to anyone I feel the issue could have been resolved differently and now my son is still suffering this is very sad

I currently have my 2year old as part time at the moment. The director is very attentive and helpful and on top of things very sweet and nice lady. For the staff I haven’t interacted with them so much but I can tell through camera they are caring. Unfortunately my child isn’t eating their lunch but it’s very normal for a toddler to go through that stage. So far I have like the environment only thing Is the updates through the app aren’t updated so I can’t tell if she ate breakfast or their curriculum.
