What Parents Say
La Petite Academy on Beach Boulevard in St. Augustine receives consistently excellent feedback from parents across all reviews. Parents praise the warm, caring staff, strong leadership from director Mrs. Dee, excellent communication, and nurturing environment where children thrive academically and emotionally. The center is noted for staff longevity, cleanliness, and making children genuinely excited to attend.
La Petite on Beach has been an amazing daycare for our two children (2.5 years and 9 months). Mrs. Dee is a wonderful, warm leader who is always approachable and communicates clearly and fairly. She truly understands children: when to give them space and when to guide them. What really stands out is the consistency of the staff. Many teachers have been there for years, which speaks volumes about how much they enjoy being there. The teachers are caring and attentive, and every child is truly known. The environment feels homey and welcoming, not sterile, and there’s a strong sense of community among both teachers and kids. We briefly switched daycares for logistical reasons, but our daughter cried every day at the other place. When we returned to La Petite, she ran right in like she was coming home. That said everything. We couldn’t recommend La Petite on Beach more.
Our daughter started at La Petite when she was 9 months old. It was a hard transition since she started daycare a little later than most but the teachers there were WONDERFUL in helping she and I adjust to everything. They were so reassuring and sent so many updates through the app! The teachers created a safe and fun space for her to learn, grow and she is thriving. She stayed there until she was almost 2. We moved out of state and let me tell you, we will talk about the teachers there and miss them daily. She grew especially close to Miss Porcha and Miss Lexie, they were amazing to her and to us. I would recommend La Petite to anyone in the area!
My child has been attending La Petite on Beach Blvd for about 5 years now and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The teachers, and staff are warm, caring, and genuinely passionate about early childhood education. We are constantly amazed by how much our daughter has learned and developed she has built social skills and has so many great little friends, a has a huge love and eagerness for learning since starting. The communication from the staff is excellent; we always feel informed about her day through the daily reports/app updates and can live view her through the day! The facility is always clean and provides a safe, engaging environment for the children. We drive 20 minutes out of our way each day to have the peace of mind knowing our child will be safe and It makes going to work so much easier knowing our child is in such great hands. We highly recommend La Petite to any family looking for quality childcare!
My daughter attends preschool at La Petite, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. She truly enjoys going to school every day, which says a lot as a parent. The staff is very involved, welcoming, and attentive, and they create a safe, loving, and engaging environment for the kids. Communication is great, and you can tell they genuinely care about each child’s growth and happiness. I highly recommend La Petite to any parent looking for a supportive and nurturing preschool.
As a first-time mom, leaving your child at daycare can be a little scary, but from day one, I felt completely at ease. All of the teachers and staff are incredibly warm, caring, and loving. They truly treat the children like family and create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my child and highly recommend this daycare to any parent. My son absolutely loves all of them starting with Mrs. Jody, Ms. Mariah, Mrs. Dee & Ms. Cat.
