I am so grateful for La Petite Academy and the amazing staff! Tiara, the director is professional, friendly, and always greets my children with a smile as they walk through the door. She has immediately addressed any question or concern I have had and followed up as well. I almost feel as if my children are being cared for by family while Im at work. While at La Petite, I know my children are loved, cared for, and made to feel they are special and important and that they matter. My children have been attending La Petite for two years and I wouldnt trust anyone more with my babies. Thank you Tiara, Ms. Susannah & Ms. Jenny in the 1 yr class, Mrs. Jennifer in the 2 yr class, Ms. Velma in the 3 yr class. I believe these women have a special bond with each child. The center teaches them many things including letters, colors, words, counting, songs, role play, the use of their imagination, friendship, tram work, and so much more! The class parties are fun and exciting and well planned out. Play time outside is fun and engaging and the equipment is wonderful.

I took my infant to this daycare back in Aug of 2016 he was about 7 months. After about a month of him attending this place he was constantly sick. Always sick. When I brought it up to the director she cut me off and stated its because he was a baby. Well, come to find out he was being feed out of a rotten bottle that was never ever cleaned since he had been attending the daycare. No one informed me until I noticed it and ask was this the bottle they had been using to feed him out of. The girl laugh named Westleanna and said YES! Also, whenever I would pick my son up and he was alone with this same girl Westleanna, she would either be bending over his crib, holding him, or changing his diaper and we would be screaming in agony and fearful of her. Which tells me he was being abused. I always had a strange feeling about her. If she is still in this daycare beware. Needless to say I took my baby out of this terrible environment as soon possible. The director was clueless and lazy! I would give this place 0 stars if I could!!

This La Petite location is a Gold Nugget of caring love!!! In addition to education, the directors and teachers are awesomely positive while providing love and encouragement with sincere smiles that warm your heart. The directors are always involved in giving affectionate interest to each child every time they interface with them while establishing wonderful relationships with the families. The lead teachers and assistants are professionals and always so polite and friendly! This great team makes this the perfect place for my granddaughter and I definitely recommend this location as an alternate home away from home for her knowing that she is cared for individually, attentively, lovingly, safely, and in a professionally enriched educational atmosphere.

The directors are very friendly and have always been professional. The one year old teachers are excellent and made my daughter feel comfortable. The lead teacher is awesome! She takes the time to bond with the children and it shows in the way she cares for them. My daughter has always been very clingy to me, but she loved the teacher there. She is in the 2s now and the teachers are a little less invested but they still seem to do a good job. My only concern is that when I pick her up and drop her off now she cries and is always very hungry when we pick her up. I am not sure if that is because she is a picky eater .

Loved this center from the moment I walked in. The staff and teachers are so friendly and helpful. The center is one of the newer La Petites in the valley and it shows. The builing is quite a bit larger than some of the other centers and is so clean! My two year old was welcomed right away by the teacher as well as the other students. My mind is completely at ease while my child is in their care. She has benefited socially and academically from La Petit and I will coninue to bring her until she starts school.

high teacher turn over, alot has changed since Lois Alexander left and not for the better. I use to love this place until it went downhill. Director is never there, assistant director was insensitive when another child threatened to kill my son and she still placed my son in the same room as that child which resulted to my son being injured by the same kid who threatened to kill him.

My children started showing signs of abuse. In one incident my daughter had bruises on here inner thie at 8months and they would say she was pinching herself which is very unlikely for an 8month old to do. When I tried bringing the situation up to the director she was not available a week later finally spoke with her and she showed no concerns. Switched as soon as possible.

The experience was alright overall. The Assistant Director is very rude at times. The Director is great, very understanding and very caring as well. Its an ok place to take your child, but they can improve and be a great place.

When I was dropping my 1 year old off, I walked in on one of the teachers yelling at all the kids , calling them "a bunch of brats" REMOVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
