We are a proud La Petite Family and have loved our experience thus far. My two year old started at the school in January 2014 and has flourished ever since. His initial teacher, Ms Shoba (shes in the toddler room) is so caring and genuinely loves her students. Everyday when dropping off my son or picking him up she took the time to tell me what he was learning, what he enjoyed, and how he was doing with respect to achieving developmental milestones. Every time he accomplished something new she would be so enthusiastic and proud of him. As a single working mom it made it so much easier to be away from my little guy all day knowing he was with someone who deeply cares for him. She always goes above and beyond and even showed up for his 2nd birthday. In fact three of his teachers did! I couldnt believe! I was truly overwhelmed by the love and support (shout out to the ahhhh mazing Ms Ashely and Ms Tamiko! They are THE BEST). He has now transitioned to the two year old room and again, I have nothing but positive things to say. Kids at La Petite will experience a culture of learning rooted in play. At two years old he knows how to count to 11 and his ABCs. They have also started working on letter recognition and shapes! We get a wonderful daily report with a run down of not just what they learned but how to reinforce it at home and I LOVE that! Just last week we followed up on a lesson on recognizing shapes in our kitchen that was started during the school day. His teachers are Ms Jan and Ms Sara (who was teacher of the year, SCORE!) and they are both immensely friendly, warm, caring, and very thoughtful women. I decided to potty train my son over a long weekend and was nervous about his return to school but all of his teachers were on board and followed our potty training plan to the letter which made me feel better and has kept him accident free! On the first day back from the potty training weekend, I even got an email update from the school director Ms Kimberly which I really appreciated because I was so nervous. I cant speak to the quality of the food because I have always chosen to provide all meals for my son since he started at day care at 3 months old. He eats and organic vegetarian diet with very very limited processed foods and there arent many schools in the area that serve organic food. If I had one hope, itd be that they would began to offer an organic menu, but like I said, many schools and child care centers still dont. All in all La Petite is an amazing school at a cost that wont bankrupt your family lol. We are happy thus far and feel so grateful to have found them. I plan to spend the next few months learning more about their preschool/early childhood curriculum since my son turns 3 in August 2015 and they do offer preschool for 3 year olds. I should also mention that they have several enrichment programs you can sign your kids up for. We do the one offered to my sons age group and he loves it! Its a sports and physical fitness program called Jump Bunch that comes in once per week and does a 30 minute class. Its a nominal additional cost paid directly to the vendor. They also have an online payment system that makes it so much easier than having to remember to bring a check once a week. Im all for convenience!

We started with La Petite within the last month, but absolutely adore the facility. The rooms are well laid out and free flowing, every nook and cranny offers a learning opportunity, and the teachers truly provide individualized attention and care. Ms. Tanisha has been a wonderful in helping my 3 month old transition to the daycare experience by providing me with detailed accounts of his behavior on a daily basis as well as some pictures of his day! They keep the infant room and my babys supplies very organized, which makes it easy to quickly pick up my belongings or keep tabs on what my son needs from day to day. I really enjoy interacting with her - one can easily observe that she is a sweet and caring teacher. I am also a big fan of Ms. Jan in the 2 year room. After moving to Naperville, my son (who had been in another daycare) was a little wary of his new environment. Ms. Jan has been instrumental in helping him adjust. In just 2 weeks my older son started looking forward to school again! I love hearing about all of his accomplishments and the specific activities he engaged in at every pick up. Her demeanor is very warm and calming, and she truly cares about all aspects of each childs development.

My child has been going to La Petite Academy for a few years, so it is time to review this location. The teachers at the Naperville location do care about the children, and they make it a positive experience for the children. The daycare does have turnover in staff, both teachers and directors. Miss Jayme and Miss Amanda were the directors when my child first started going to La Petite. Miss Kimberly, the centers current director, and Miss Jennifer, the centers current assistant director, are honest and make sure that the billing is correct. This sounds like it should be a given, but unfortunately I have had a past experience where it was not the case. In addition to being honest, both Miss Kimberly and Miss Jennifer are great with the children. There are plenty of daycares in the Naperville area, so they have to distinguish themselves from the competition. I think that with teachers like Miss Sara, Miss K. (also part of the leadership team- I think), and the rest of the phenomenal staff make it an easy choice to pick La Petite.

I can NOT say enough about La Petite Academy, this is our home away from home! I love Miss Kim and Miss Jennifer (Director and Asst. Director) - they know every child by name and treat each child as their own. La Petite is warm and welcoming not to mention clean clean clean!!! All of the teachers are so loving, kind, warm and welcoming. My kids dont ever want to leave and they are 9, 8 and 3 year old boys. I would not consider another daycare after being at La Petite, they have spoiled us! It means a lot when you can call your daycare provider more like a family than your real family!!! WE ALL LOVE LA PETITE and I would HIGHLY recommend this Academy to anyone!

This La Petite is absolutely the best! Our daughter has been going here since before preschool and is now in 2nd grade. She has loved every teacher she has had through the years. Now that she only goes in the afternoon, her favorite days are when public schools are closed and she gets to be at La Petite all day instead! Also, we love it because there is an excellent mix of learning time and play time. Whenever our daughter tells me something she learned today, I have to ask her, "Did you learn that at school? Or at La Petite?" Many times the answer is La Petite.

We enrolled both our kids in La Petite this fall. The experience has been great. Our 4 months old baby girl has enjoyed everyday she was there. The program includes certain activities which enable the kids. Her teacher, Ms Tanisha has been meticulous in writing the details of our baby girls activities for the day and shares important experiences through the day. This allows us to gain insight of the days activities. Overall it has been a good experience.
