La Petite Academy

I cannot say enough wonderful things about La Petite! From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel the warmth and care that this facility provides. The environment is not only safe and clean but also incredibly educational, fostering curiosity and creativity in every child. The teachers are truly exceptional—loving, patient, and dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. They go above and beyond to create engaging activities that make learning fun while nurturing social and emotional development. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids, which gives us great peace of mind. If you’re looking for a daycare that combines education, care, and a loving atmosphere, La Petite Academy on Clay St. is the perfect choice. We feel so fortunate to be part of this incredible family!

We had an unexpectedly great experience with La Petite Academy in Riverside. While visiting California, our daughter was supposed to attend a backup daycare that we had booked months in advance, but we were turned away on the first day due to lack of vacancy. At very short notice, La Petite Academy stepped in and truly saved us. They processed all the paperwork quickly and welcomed our daughter without any hassle. From day one, the staff was incredibly warm and professional. The infant room is spacious, bright, and very well maintained—noticeably larger than our regular daycare in New Jersey—and the two cameras in the infant room gave us great peace of mind. What really stood out was how caring and attentive the staff is. Everyone knew our daughter’s name within a day, even teachers who weren’t directly assigned to the infant room. That level of personal attention made us feel confident and comfortable leaving her there. We were extremely impressed with the facility, the staff, and the overall environment. We would absolutely send our daughter to this La Petite Academy again whenever we visit Eastvale and highly recommend it to other parents looking for a nurturing and well-run daycare.

We’ve been part of the La Petite family for five years, starting when our oldest was just one. Now with three children ages 6, 3, and 1, it truly feels like a second home to us. Trusting others with your children is never easy, but La Petite has made that trust feel natural and comforting. Even on my days off, my kids ask to go because they love their friends and the fun, engaging activities. The curriculum is wonderful—we’ve experienced every classroom from infants through preschool, and our oldest entered kindergarten confident, prepared, and ready. We’re so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive community.

5 stars. Definitely recommend! My daughter has been at this center since she was 4 months old, she’s now 10, the staff is more like family and has been a tremendous asset in our lives. Ms. Kellie goes above and beyond and all the teachers genuinely care about the kids. My daughter will only eat Ms Barbie’s Mac & Cheese and that says a lot because she’s very picky.

My daughter has been a student at La Petite since she was 5 months old, she is now 3 I was so nervous to leave her when I went back to work but all of the teachers made us feel so welcome and safe. I loved that they had cameras so that I could check up on her throughout the day and they sent updates about her day through the SproutAbout app. La Petite has become such a great part of our lives. A shout out to Ms Neve who has so much love and patience for the preschool class. My baby loves you so much!
