My daughter is finishing up her first week at La Petite and, so far, I am raving about them. My little girl is about to turn 3, and this is the first time shes been in any sort of preschool environment. Up until now, weve been fortunate enough to have my husband or I staying with her. But, with my husband starting a new job, we werent able to make it work anymore. I found La Petite through a corporate partnership with my job, and I toured a couple of the facilities in the area before settling on this location. At a trial day at one of the other locations, my daughter came home and told me "I cried because I missed you and that made my teacher mad. She said NO NO." Now, Im sure that the teacher wasnt yelling at her, necessarily, but I didnt like that my daughter perceived that as the reaction to her being upset, so we decided to keep looking. After her first day with Ms. Ashley, she didnt have a single bad thing to say. She did tell me "I cried because I missed you" and I asked "was the teacher nice?" and she said "Oh yes, she made me happy". She went on and on all that afternoon about all the fun things she did throughout the day and all her new friends. Ms. Ashley made me a laminated scrapbook with a bunch of pictures from her first day and answered all my questions, all while juggling 10 toddlers. During a break, she gave me a personal call to update me on how the day was going, which made an amazing impression on me. I had called several times to check in throughout the day, and the fact that she took the time to call me personally was really, really appreciated. She told me that my daughter didnt want to nap, and that she kept asking to have her back rubbed, so Ms. Ashley told me "...So I rubbed her back for about 5 minutes and she was out like a light". She took the time to give my daughter the personal attention that she really needed on her first day away from her momma and daddy, and that is so special to me. The morning drop off is still a little tough, but Ms. Cyndi, the director, does a great job of calming her down and settling her in. Also, Cyndi is always happy to keep me updated or go check on my daughter when I call throughout the day. I cant explain how tough it is to go from knowing whats going on in every moment of your childs life and being in control of her entire day, to putting all your trust in someone new. Everyone at this location has made us feel welcome and safe. They keep me updated and answer all my questions. I have walked in at random times throughout the day and never have I seen behavior from the teachers that made me feel uncomfortable. Im excited for her to be in this new learning environment and I couldnt be more pleased with our experience so far. I would highly recommend this location to anyone!

Awesome school!! My oldest was at home with me for 2.5 years and my youngest 5 months before starting at La Petite. We had them in a different daycare for 2 weeks and had a horrible experience with that facility. We then found La Petite and have been happy since, which it has been about a year. I was upset and worried leaving them at the previous facility, but when we switched to La Petite I felt at ease. They have been awesome with both of my boys. Ms. Christina made me feel at ease leaving my little guy with her. My oldest has thrived and loves his teacher Ms. Jennifer! All the teachers are excellent and have been awesome. The school has great curriculum too. Also if you have any problems or concerns, they are quick to address and solve them. I miss my boys being with me, but I know they are in good hands at La Petite!!

After our son was born I looked at many day care centers and immediately knew after visiting La Petite and meeting with his teacher Miss Christina that this was the place for him. They have a genuine concern for him and I feel confident that he is well cared for and loved during the day. We love that even in the baby room that there are planned daily activities and they keep us up to date with periodic pictures of him doing the activities. We couldnt ask for a more caring staff!

My child has been at La Petite for almost 2 years. She has learned alot and the teachers are great. La Petite is very structural and plans lots of exciting things for kids to do a day to day basis. There is no other school that I would choose, the teacher are always involved and make sure that kids are there learning as well as making sure they are safe. The staff cares about your child and treats them as if they are their own, they are one of the best!

The staff is wonderful at this center. They truly care for the children they take care of and they make an effort to know each parent as well. My son has thrived under their care. With my older children, I never put them in daycare. I was skeptical about putting my baby there. But the staff has made this a wonderful experience and my son has learned so much!

My baby goes here and loves it so much! I couldnt have found a better school for her. I hope to never have to move her. All the teachers at the school are awesome and so good to my baby and she loves them too!!
