What Parents Say
La Petite Academy in Bloomington receives highly polarized reviews. The majority of parents (8 five-star reviews) praise the facility for compassionate care, learning opportunities, teacher quality, and communication through daily updates and cameras. However, two parents reported serious safety and professionalism concerns including lost supplies, chemical exposure, and allegations of teacher negligence and physical aggression toward children.
My two children love going here. They are learning so much, provided well rounded meals, and cared for compassionately. The best daycare in my opinion.
This daycare is highly irresponsible unprofessional and disorganized they have lost 4 of our bottle tops given our infant the wrong pacifier several times making him sick and laid our infant in bleach ruining his clothes and didn’t bother to change him out of the bleached clothes putting him at risk of chemical burns. Furthermore, they have done nothing to reconcile any of this and Feel that is is ok to blurt out your account balance in front of other parents, and cut bottle tops without parental consent. Long story short, there is a reason that this facility has a 2.5 star rating and there are much better daycares for your kids.
Our kids have gone here 5 years and 2 years respectfully and it's been a great experience overall! My daughter has a rare metabolic disorder and they did a stellar job insuring her dietary restrictions were met as well
This daycare is such a great daycare! I was concerned and nervous because of the reviews, but went ahead and did it because everyone has different experiences & expectations. Not only are you able to watch your child on cameras 24/7, but they send updates anytime they do anything and pictures! My daughter gets excited to be there and that tells me enough. The workers are amazing!
I would not recommend that anyone send their kids here. It is not only an environment that is unclean, but this daycare center also has teachers that are negligent and abusive. I saw how a teacher slammed a child’s chair into the table hurting their chest, and pushing another child off of table out of frustration. Mind you these are all children 2 and under. I reported what I saw to the director and she said she would let the teacher know not to let it happen again… and yes she still has her job, and she is probably still harming more children. On top of that.. the director has no emotion or empathy. None whatsoever. Zero people skills. It is actually insane considering that this is a childcare facility. I meant to leave a review awhile ago giving people a warning, but have been busy and forgot to sit down and send awareness to those who may be considering this daycare for childcare services… my advice is DON’T DO IT! This is not good for children or families. If your children are enrolled here my advice would be to look at your child’s class cameras often and observe how they treat them. Some teachers ignore the children and let them fight and some teachers yell in the children’s faces and get physically abusive with the children. If you voice your concerns the teachers will get upset and bothered. They will tell you they are short staffed and overwhelmed as if that makes neglect and/or abuse acceptable.. I’ve heard it all. It is an all around negative environment and unsafe for children. Beware and steer clear!
