La Petite Academy- Watertown Rd

I absolutely love La Petite! Both of my children started at 4 months of age and they have both thrived in the supportive environment of the directors and all of the caring teachers. When my daughter transitioned to 3K for school, she was extremely well-prepared when it comes to knowing how to function in a classroom and basic knowledge (alphabet, numbers, etc.) thanks to the teachers at La Petite. My son is age 2 and loves going to daycare each day, and we appreciate all the fun activities he does each day. The directors at La Petite were the first to know when we found out we would be expecting our third baby because I can’t imagine sending our baby anywhere else. La Petite is our second family!

We love the staff at LaPetite! Our son who is 2.5 years old has been attending daycare five days a week for two years now. He absolutely loves each of his teachers, and I know his teachers all love him too. The teachers all do such a great job keeping us informed throughout the day (diaper changes, meals, etc). We will be taking our daughter to daycare at this location as well starting next month.

We have two boys (4 months & 21 months) at La Petite Academy on West Watertown. The center is wonderful, and I can’t speak more highly of the teachers, Director, and Assistant Director. They take the utmost care for both of our boys. Our 21 month old has a peanut and tree nut allergy that they have been outstanding at ensuring he’s safe. We love watching how much the boys have learned at the center. From a safety standpoint, the ability to watch on the in room cameras, the consistent food, activity, nap, and diaper updates in the SproutAbout app also gives us a confidence that we felt was unmatched at other centers.

Just doesn't seem very welcoming. First time meeting with the director she said hi, and asked me my son's name which was fine but, immediately after asked me about money without even introducing to me who she was. My son's father did the walk through and chose the daycare so I didn't get the chance to meet anyone yet. She did not introduce me to any teachers, in fact everyone just stood around looking at me like we didn't belong. There was one teacher in the twos class (blonde hair woman) she did walk up and was trying to comfort my son since he was uncomfortable and upset because it was a new environment. She did everything should could to make my baby comfortable so I do appreciate her. However, I called the director after I learned that dad was also not too pleased, and told her our concerns and (Kimmie) just didn't care. She provided no explanation as to why or didn't even attempt to be solution oriented, in fact her attitude showed up very quickly. I will not recommend this daycare. The passion to care and provide good customer service and professionalism skills was not there. Very disappointed.

Our daughter started at La Petite around 4 months. We were invited to a summer carnival before her start date and were welcomed by Sarah the Director and Miss Suzi the infant teacher right away! It was so nice that Miss Suzi took time to get to know My daughter personally. As a first time mom it made me comfortable that our daughter would be well taken care of. Our experience with La Petite has been wonderful! I love all the daily updates and they always take time to tell me about my daughters day. My daughter always came home happy and I never had any concerns about her care which made for a much easier transition. Every teacher our daughter worked with was incredibly kind and friendly and we are sad to be moving away!
