Miss Diane is amazing!! My son loves going to Lapetite Fitchburg, but overall it’s because of her. She’s caring, patient, and truly dedicated to helping kids learn and grow. The center itself is nice. I love the camera access in all the rooms, and the teachers are so nice. Yes there has been some turnover in directors, but I think they got it figured out now, and the new director Justine is great! Highly recommend!!

I’m deeply grateful for Diane and her team’s exceptional leadership and the outstanding care my son receives at this daycare. The staff is warm, attentive, and truly committed to creating a safe, nurturing environment. Each day, my son enjoys a variety of engaging activities—circle time, arts and crafts, story sessions, outdoor play, and age-appropriate educational games—all thoughtfully guided by Diane’s team. They foster positive social interaction among the children, which I greatly value. I also appreciate Diane’s leadership in providing regular updates and photos that give me a window into my son’s day. It’s reassuring to know he is happy, learning, and well cared for.

Our daughter has been going to la petite in Fitchburg for about a year (she is ~15 months old at time of review). We are doing part time three days a week here. It's one of the few places I'm aware of that accommodates part time which has been really nice. The food she's given looks good and she enjoys, seems like good variety. Our experience with the teachers there has been nothing but positive. There has been some leadership turnover while we have been here but it did not impact my daughter getting care or the wonderful job the classroom teachers do from our perspective. I feel we get ample communication about our child's care. My daughter is happy to see the teachers there each day. In particular she's always happy to see Ms Diane every moring. Daycare isn't easy work and we feel la petite Fitchburg cares for our daughter well.

Our child has been at La Petite since they were four months old and we've had a really good experience. The leadership have been great and what really makes this place special is Ms Diane and all the wonderful teachers. Our child really loves their teachers and friends - they are always excited to go to school! We'd highly recommend looking at La Petite as a daycare option because of the incredible staff.
