When my wife and I needed to find a daycare for our 2 year-old we scheduled a tour at 3 local daycare/preschools. La Petite Academy was our first daycare visit and I was immediately impressed by how bright and clean the building was. Everything looked well-maintained and safe for the children. The second two centers we visited didnt even compare. The second one was so dark, dank, and cramped, I didnt even want to visit the 3rd place; I just wanted to enroll in La Petite Academy! We visited the 3rd center anyway and it was more expensive with all kinds of add-on costs (including additional costs to teach the children music and reading lessons... shouldnt that be included?). Anyway, we sent our daughter to La Petite Academy in January 2013 and have been more than pleased with her experience there. The staff is very friendly and willing to work with parents about issues such as; potty-training, separation anxiety, and trouble napping. The director and assistant director know all of the children by name and make me feel like they know what is going on in all the classes throughout the day. From the beginning, I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter there for a full day even though she has never been in a daycare setting before this year. My daughter recently celebrated her 3rd birthday at La Petite and they made sure it was a special day for her and she was given a birthday card from the director, from her teachers, and from her classmates. I will continue to send my daughter to La Petite Academy and would recommend it to my friends and family.

My wife and I have been sending our son here for close to 2 years. Searching for the right daycare can be a very exhausting and difficult process. We visited several places and there were plenty that we "liked" and several that we didnt. Thankfully, our decision was easy after visiting La Petite. The staff was extremely pleasant and welcoming, and answered all of our questions and concerns to a tee. We left with a warm, comforting feeling that we didnt feel anywhere else. To this day, we couldnt be happier with our decision. Our child has been in different rooms with different teachers and we are confident that the love and care towards our child and all others is first tier. The teaching staff is very energetic, loving, and dedicated to their craft. It takes a special person to handle several young children at once, and I have not encountered a single teacher or staff member here that doesnt have that ability. I would highly recommend La Petite to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their child to grow and learn.

We joined La Petite 2 years ago when our daughters were 2 1/2 and 14 months old. We were leaving an in home daycare provider we adored and they had been with since 3 months old. I was extremely nervous about moving them but Tera made us feel comfortable from the start. I left knowing La Petite was the place for us and we couldnt be happier with our decision. The teachers there clearly love our girls and they love going there. They are now 3 and 4 years old and I am constantly amazed at what they are learning. They both insist on giving hugs to all the teachers before they leave at the end of the day, a true testament to how much they adore the staff. We have had to alter our schedule on occasion, moving from 4 days a week to 5 or switching our day off. Tera is extremely accommodating every time I have a special request. We receive updates throughout the day about what the girls are doing and learning and pictures too! I feel connected to my kids even while Im at work all day. I highly recommend La Petite Academy!!

My daughters go to La Petite for 4 almost 5 years. I started my oldest daughter there in the Pre-K. She was a very shy and quiet when she first started since then she has become more outgoing and sociable. It made it much easier sending her to kindergarten. They taught her how to write her name and other things that got her ready for kindergarten. Gave her an advantage that some of the kids didnt have. When I had my last daughter i sent her right away. She started off in the infant room. They made it so easy to drop her off. They do so many cute things with them and they take so many pictures and hang them up so you can see all the fun they have. They also take excellent care of them. She is now in the toddler room soon to be moving up to the twos. They do a great job transitioning them to move up. They also have a summer program that my oldest loves. She enjoys the field trips that they go on and they also do stuff so they dont forget what they had learned in school. I would recommend them to everybody.

My daughter is 11 months old and has been at La Petite Academy for two months now. This is the second daycare that she has attended, and let me say I am BEYOND impressed! When I first toured, I couldnt believe how clean and organized the school was as a whole. Currently, she is in the infants room. The room is beautiful and bright, the selection of toys to play with is endless, and each child has their own crib with their picture on it. More importantly, the quality of care is unsurpassed. Ms. Karina and Ms. Darlene are so wonderful with my daughter and show her attention as if she was their own! No parent WANTS to leave their child in the care of a stranger, but at La Petite Academy they treat your child like family. I have never had any concerns whatsoever. If you are looking at daycares in the area, I urge you to enroll your child at La Petite Academy.

My son has been at La Petite the last couple of years. the instructors do a wonderful job making him feel comfortable and he enjoys the curriculum set forward by the school age instructor. I find it exceptional that there is additional learning resources for him that often depart from what he is learning in school. Often he enjoys what he learns at La Petite more! He takes part in the summer program and loves the field trips.

My son started off in the Infant Room. The teachers are very kind and caring...they make drop off comfortable for my husband and myself. My infant participated in a variety of different activities, art and crafts. They documented his first year with a TON of pictures as well!! Now my son is in the toddler room and I couldnt be more proud of all the new things he is learning each day! Thanks for all that you do!

We have been at La Petite for over a year now and both my boys love it! We came to La Petite from an in home daycare and I was nervous about coming to a "center" but it has been fabulous. My youngest is 18 months and already speaks a wide vocabulary. My oldest is in preschool and is spelling words. I love the structure they have there, the curriculum, and how the staff really cares about the kids.

Both of my children have attended La Petite since they were 2. They are currently 10 and 5. Upon entering kindergarten I was told by both of their teachers that they could tell that they were in a preschool program. I feel that the staff is very knowledgeable and caring. They do an awesome job keep up the good work.
