We moved from out of state a year and a half ago, they made the process of getting our kids enrolled a breeze. We moved out of the area but continue to take our kids here because they are that good. We have toured many places but the teachers and directors are honestly family to us now. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for great childcare where you feel like your kids are safe all day. Thank you Colleen and Jennifer for making such a great environment for our kids! Shout out to all of the absolutely amazing teachers who help raise our kids to be good humans!

I’ve tried other daycares. LaPetite in Milton is the best for us in terms of: overall care, safety, security, flexibility, cleanliness, education, communication, and professionalism. Overall care - my kids like their teachers. I don’t worry about mistreatment ever. There’s handwashing routines, scheduled playtime inside and outside, snacks/meals/nap time. Safety and security- Everyone has their own door code and there’s a second secured door to pass through before anyone can gain access to the children. Security cameras are also on site for safety. Flexibility - I appreciate the flexible support that Milton La Petite provides. I can pickup and bring back my kids to daycare for doctor’s appointments. (A competitor daycare in Milton doesn’t allow that after 11:30a.) Cleanliness - LaPetite is always clean and tidy. No overwhelming odors!! Surfaces are sanitized regularly. Kids are encouraged to wash their hands. Education - All the teachers are great, but it gets more serious when the kids enter pre-K. The pre-K teacher, Ms. Linda, is awesome! Lesson plans are communicated with parents in their app. Kids start off with a morning meeting taking about what day is it, the weather, etc. Then there’s small group time, literacy time, math, communication, creation, nature investigation, outside time, reflection time, sensory experiences. Linda is kind, yet firm teacher. She models respect and boundaries. The kids really respond well to her teaching. Thank you, Ms. Linda! Communication - Any incidents at school are communicated to the parents. Depending on severity, it could be a phone call or a message on the app. My kids have had minor things happen and they’d let me know what happed in an incident report. Nothing is hidden from parents. Professionalism - all very even keeled people! No red flags from any of the staff. Respect is shown to the kids and parents. Very emotionally healthy environment. They have process and procedures for many things. Meals and snack time is part of the tuition. That is very helpful and convenient to not have to prepare food everyday! I’ve had to do that at other centers, but not this one. It is a nut-free environment.

My daughter’s daycare is amazing! She learns so much, from shapes/colors to navigating socially, to manners. The teachers in each class are very considerate of the children. She is in preschool now and every day she brings home her projects to show us. Also, her teacher posts photos of her activities every day, which we all look forward to. When I’m perplexed by a behavioral challenge, I can ask her teachers for feedback on what they observe and discuss it further.

My child was placed on the waiting list early 2022, never heard back for couple years so this year I scheduled for a tour in April and called couple times to see what the status was. Whenever I called, the director would give me a vague answer and say there are not that many kids ahead of my son and as soon as they hire another teacher a spot may open in June. Also, I asked to bring my son in for a discovery day and the director never got back to me. It is late July and I still haven’t heard back. They must pick and choose who they want to enroll and not go by the order on the waitlist. The director needs to follow up in a timely manner and not keep people hanging.
