I’m skittish about leaving my baby (First Time Mom, 18mo), but they are genuinely great for our drop in care needs. My son has an amazing time (to the point where he doesn’t want to leave), he’s eager to reach new milestones in his development through exposure to curriculum and peers, and he’s wonderfully exhausted. The rates are beyond reasonable and the staff are truly lovely. They are communicative (with a great check-in app for anxious Moms), tidy and very engaged with the children. We love our La Petite!
We are beyond grateful for this daycare and the positive impact it has had on our son. He previously attended another daycare where he struggled and had ongoing issues, but since starting here, the change has been incredible. He is happier, more confident, and truly thriving. The staff is patient, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s well-being and growth. They communicate well, provide a supportive and structured environment, and make each child feel seen and understood. Our son looks forward to going each day, which speaks volumes. Choosing this daycare was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. We highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and nurturing place for their child. Thank you for all that you do!
Every single employee has been so great. The director Amanda and the assistant director Dee are so amazing. The communication is better than I could have ever expected from a daycare. This is the first time I've had my son being taken care of anybody but me and I would pick THIS La Petite time and time again. I could not be more grateful for every person who works here and especially the one's who take care of and love my son. 10/10 would recommend.
"La Petite Academy on Rio Vista Dr" - is hands down the best childcare center in the Springs area. The teachers are excellent. There is nothing better than dropping off my child everyday and knowing they will be so well cared for, emotionally, physically and mentally. The director (Amanda, Dee De) are great in managing and communicating with parents. My 3 years old daughter really learned so much and love to go to the center. She loves her teachers Miss T, Crystal, Lashaunte, Linda and so many others :). Easy to keep track my child's daily activities through the app and Video option in the app. All the teachers are very honest and kind. They always take care of kids very well. I would recommend this daycare 100%! - Thanks to the La Petite team.
I am extremely satisfied with the care my daughter receives. She has learned many valuable skills and knowledge to help her transition into kindergarten this year! My daughter looks forward to her day with her friends and teachers! Easy 5 stars! ⭐️ ❤️
