My daughter has been attending this daycare since she was about 18 months. We had to change daycares quickly because her last one shut down, and they were so understanding and accommodating. If we ever have a concern or question, they are quick to help. The teachers are just delightful and our daughter loves them. The app is really nice to have and I love that there are live streaming cameras so we can check in. They are thoughtful and courteous, and when my daughter gets hurt or upset, not only do they notify us timely but they love on her til shes better. It is a wonderful experience. We will soon be enrolling our second child, who has already become a quick favorite.
Our daughter has been here since infancy and is now a toddler, and every single staff member has loved and cared for her as if she were their own. My wife is active duty military and I am a Veteran, and for any military-affiliated family, I cannot recommend this daycare highly enough. The leadership, teachers, and support staff are some of the most caring, empathetic, and compassionate people we’ve had the privilege of knowing. Trusting others with your child is never easy, but they have consistently gone above and beyond to earn and keep that trust. Communication is excellent, the live-stream access provides peace of mind, and the scheduling and updates through their mobile app are incredibly convenient and easy to use. We are truly grateful for the care, professionalism, and love they provide every day.
We have been attending La Petite since early 2024. Starting with my first child who began in the twos class. Then with my second who started in the infant classroom. We’ve been very happy with the care provided. The teachers have been very consistent along with management. I feel good knowing they are treated with lots of love and care. I love how much my older child has learned and continues to grow since starting here. I believe they will be fully prepared for kindergarten when that time comes. They have been good about keeping us up-to-date on daily activities and anything we need to know about our children on a daily basis
Our daughter has been attending La Petite for the last six months and we have nothing but high praises. From the staff in her classrooms to the administrators all adults we have encountered have welcomed and nurtured our daughter like she was their own. Everyone has been extremely communicative and has handled all situations that have arisen with greatly appreciated grace. We could not recommend La Petite enough!
I’m giving myself time to decompress before I fully share my complete experience with this daycare, but I wanted to leave this brief note for now. I plan to elaborate in the upcoming month after I’ve had more time to process everything that happened. My experience was multifaceted, and even thinking about it brings back feelings of anger and regret that I allowed myself and my child to endure what we did there. I agree with this review mentioning issues in the infant room, that was the area where most of my experience occurred. I personally found the environment and interactions there very concerning. In my view, the assistant manager, Ashly, displayed behavior that I felt was rude and unprofessional. I also have a voicemail message from her that I personally found inappropriate and disturbing in tone. When I raised my concerns, I did not receive an apology or acknowledgment that felt sufficient to me. The caregiver in the infant room struck me as unwelcoming toward my baby and others. I am aware that other parents have witnessed similar behaviors. I regret not removing my baby sooner once I noticed the issues, especially since I later found an excellent daycare only a few miles away that treats children with the respect and care every family deserves.
