My son is in an infant room at La Petite with his teachers, Emily and Abbey. They are truly the most amazing teachers! Their love for the kids in their room is evident. They pay so much attention to your child and really know and love them as an individual. They are so kind, and care not only for the wellbeing of your child, but they care how you’re doing as well! Their knowledge, humor, and positivity make La Petite such a warm and safe place. We are so, so grateful our son’s first teachers are Abbey and Emily. Thank you for making his daycare experience such a wonderful one!
If there were more than 5 stars available, this La Petite location would have them! My child has been attending daycare there since he was 12 weeks old and is now 3 years old. From the infant room to the 3 year old room and every stage in between, we have experienced gentle, kind, and attentive care. These teachers genuinely care about your children like they are their own. They snuggle them when your little one is having a hard time with you leaving that day, they rub their backs at nap time, they come up with fun, interactive, knowledge based activities to keep them entertained and learning new skills. I could go on and on with how impressed and grateful I am to have this team caring for my kiddo. The director and assistant director (Julie & Keri) dedicate so much time to the daycare and always find answers to your questions and make the daycare feel like family. It puts my mind at ease knowing this wonderful team is taking care of my child when I go off to work.
As a first time parent, you question a lot of choices if you are doing the right thing. I have never second guessed my choice sending my daughter to La Petite academy. Having an app with updates and access to cameras gives so much peace of mind. She started in the infant 1 room and is now on her way to being moved up to the preschool room. The staff here are so friendly, nurturing and understanding. My daughter has learned so much and loves going here. She will be well prepared when she goes to school.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience at La Petite Academy! As a parent of a 14-month-old, finding a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment was our top priority—and this place has exceeded our expectations in every way. From day one, the staff made us feel welcome and truly listened to our concerns as first-time daycare parents. The teachers are incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly love what they do. Our little one lights up when we arrive in the morning! The weekly lesson plans are thoughtfully planned, with plenty of age-appropriate activities that help with social, emotional, and motor development. We especially appreciate the mix of indoor play, music time, and outdoor exploration. It’s been amazing to watch our child grow more confident, curious, and communicative since starting here. Cleanliness and safety are also clearly a top priority, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. We also love the regular updates and photos—they always brighten our day and help us feel connected to what our child is experiencing. If you’re looking for a loving, dependable, and enriching daycare for your little one, we highly recommend La Petite Academy. It truly feels like an extension of our family.
Our family absolutely adores LaPetite’s director, Julie! We have been going to LP for 8 years, and my children are thrilled to go back to daycare during summer break- specifically to see Julie. The teachers have always been so kind & accommodating. We have so much comfort in knowing the quality of care and attention our children receive at LP & are so thankful for a safe environment for our children.
