La Petite Academy #154

My son has been attending this daycare for 2 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The staff is amazing caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children. His teacher, Ms. Jeanette, is wonderful and has played such an important role in his growth and development. My sons has a speech delay. She always goes above and beyond to make sure he feels supported and encouraged. The director, Ms. Madeline is so friendly and welcoming, and she creates such a warm and positive environment for both the kids and parents. I’m so grateful to have found a place where my child is happy, safe, and thriving

I recommend this facility to my friends and family all the time. The teachers are amazing, and this being my child’s first school-like experience, she truly loves it. She comes home every day excitedly talking about her teachers, Ms. Ana and Ms. Maria, and how she can’t wait to see them again the next day. As a parent, leaving my child in someone else’s care for the first time was nerve-wracking, but the care, patience, and love the teachers show made me feel completely at ease. I’m so grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive team caring for my child.

This is our family’s first experience with daycare and we couldn’t be happier. The teachers have all been so sweet and attentive with my toddler. My son has some dietary restrictions and they do a great job of accommodating his needs. I love that they have an app to log all of the meals, snacks, naps, and diaper changes in real time, and upload pictures and videos of the kids throughout the day (I have mine set to send me a push notification for every update, which can be a little overwhelming sometimes but it helps me feel more involved and informed about his day). The app also gives access to a live video feed of the room that my son is checked into, so I can check in on him any time. Daycares are expensive, but this one does accept 4C to help cover the costs, and with the meals, snacks, diapers, activities, and the app included, I think it’s well worth the price.

It all went to hell after Shawn left let’s be perfectly honest. I’m a parent who’s been here for going on 6 years. I’ve seen atleast 3 directors since then. They change teachers like underwear. There’s no circle time. They do not follow a lesson plan. So many kids and teachers have left that they closed certain rooms and now my kid is just floating because there’s no class. The kids are getting babysat all day. THEY ARE NOT DOING ANY WORK WHATSOEVER. It doesn’t matter what they send you a picture of. Stay on that camera. I can promise you not one letter is being traced. Not one number is being traced. There is no true structure. They aren’t counting. They are not learning. They are randomly drawing and maybe sometimes we will get the occasional handprint art work. I’m still in contact with several ex employees who say that the school has gone down the drain and the ones who stayed just stay quiet to keep their jobs. They have a massive lawsuit because a boy broke his arm. My kid has gotten injured twice included a scar on her face. There have been times that I pick my kid up from outside and just to test the new teachers, I open the gate while they’re not watching and take her. Nobody is at the desk and nobody sees me get her and nobody looks for her. I stayed for certain teachers but now that those people are gone I’m simply waiting for space at my desired daycare. The only reason she lasted this long is because Maria and Carole are still there. Losing Cristina and Lucy was the dumbest thing you could’ve done.

I absolutely love how they treat my daughter here. The director Annette is amazing and very hands on with my daughter. I was very worried about putting my daughter in daycare after seeing the horror stories, but Annette, Jeanette, Kimberly, Maria and Esmeralda were very hands on with her, patient, kind, and understanding. My daughter has been going for 2 months now and she loves her morning teachers. The only issue I have had is her every day teacher Susanna seemed a little rough with my daughter and expected her to follow her routine after a week of being with her and would forget to use diaper cream on my daughter. My husband was able to talk to her since he speaks Spanish and she became more softer with my daughter so with open communication it was corrected. My daughter has excelled in many different areas here because of their curriculum. Thank you to the La Petite team for not only being there for my daughter, but being a safe zone for a first time mama that was skeptical of putting her daughter in a daycare.
