My son has been at this location for almost three months now. He stayed home with me up until choosing this center to be his first day care. I am really glad I did because he LOVES going there. His teachers have been kind and patient with him and they were able to accommodate his egg allergy. So far our experience has been great and I appreciate when the staff is helpful also. Access to the app, multiple door lock codes provides safety and security. I would recommend this center to anyone in the area!

My son started at La Petite when he was 1. He is now 6 and in Kindergarten. He is excelling and doing above average work for his age. This I can give thanks to La Petite! Although they have completely flipped staff from when he was 1, the new staff has so much more organization, communication, and overall professionalism then before. The environment is one that I felt safe for my son to go to everyday! All the teachers were great, and they are sure to make sure all new teachers are up to their standards and expectations. Jana, Erika, Cora, and Ms. Shaima were the most impactful on my son! Not to say that any of the other teachers were not impactful, but these three went above and beyond for my child. I would highly recommend this academy looking for childcare. I know knew management sometimes sounds scary, but in this case it was for the better. The cleanliness and modifications they have made inside and outside have really made their value and overall vision come back to life!

My children have been with La Petite for a couple years and I am so happy with the care they receive. The facility has gone through a lot of changes over the past couple of years - some not so good but today with Jana and Cora as director and assistant director, it has taken on major improvements and is amazing!!! I cannot say better things about how they run the facility with care and compassion. I know that when I bring my children, they are safe, cared for and loved. Thank you Jana, Cora, Ani, Alice, Shaima and all the other teachers and support staff for loving Mia and Max!!

Since the new management took over, this daycare has completely transformed! The staff is warm, organized, and genuinely attentive to every child. Communication is so much better now—daily updates, quick responses, and you can tell they truly care. The environment feels cleaner, safer, and more structured, and my child comes home happy and excited every day. Huge improvement all around, and would highly recommend:)

We have had our kiddo here for about a year now at La Petite and we have really enjoyed the care and communication we get. They worked with us to accommodate a plan for our kids dietary needs and every time we pick up or drop off we can feel the genuine care that goes into our child. The ability to see what our kiddo is doing through their camera system provides is ann extra reassurance as parents that I personally love, and I always catch my kid having fun when I peek on it. I would highly recommend this place to others.
