The downfall of a kid’s society Let me start from the beginning with the definition of Academy a•cad•e•my /əˈkadəmē/ 1. a place of study or training in a special field. "a police academy" synonyms: educational institution, school, college, university, institute, seminary, conservatory,conservatoire "she studied at a famous academy" 2. a society or institution of distinguished scholars, artists, or scientists, that aims to promote and maintain standards in its particular field. La petite Academy lacks structure; the “Academy” tells parents that they have all of these highly trained daycare teachers / staff and that that they have a certain amount of hours of specialized training. Well after a month transpires and you notice the lack of training. The management then tells parents that they only have one real teacher and that the other teachers / staff are not that trained. When you question the staff about the “Academy” they cannot validate the issues. My child went there for six months and it was pure unfiltered rubbish from start to finish. When I dropped my child off – I noticed teacher(s) sitting in their car scrolling on their phone. As I went to sign my child in I was told you cant drop off your child until a teacher is inside. Really? Well I see a teacher, in the La Petite parking lot, in a car, on her phone. One cannot determine if she saw me walk inside because she was on her phone at 6:05 am the “Academy” opens at 6:00 am by the way. The “Academy” claims to have structure by giving your children choices and when the children make choices, choices turn into play time. We were told that our child would receive homework every day and a folder detailing their day, well needless to say none of this happened. Instead my child was in a class with school age children. List of problems: • No cameras- no real record of what is truly going on with your child. • Integrated teaching; children of different age groups together • More play time than learning time. • Lack of curriculum • Inconsistent with curriculum • Lack of positive “redirection” • Lack of structure; children get to make their own choices • • Dishonesty – telling parents that staff are trained later to find out staff are not that trained • High turnover of teachers / staff • • Children have the ability to run full speed throughout the daycare. • Children climbing on chairs and tables • Children are allowed to drink all day. • Child Licensing comes to the day care. • Caretaker / child ratio • Unresolved issues concerns • Issues with other children in the classroom • Staff teach credentials • Safety issues • Atmosphere At the rate the “Academy” is going the forthcoming is not bright. The daycare staff training will continue to diminish, the turnover rate will continue to increase thus creating a low morale, children will no longer be learning and parents will be told that it is their child’s fault. The "Academy" should be compared to a zoo because that is what they base their principals on. According to Merriam Webster, the definition of zoo – a place, situation, or group that is crowded, loud and uncontrolled. I would like to take this time to enlighten parents that if you do decide to send your child to La Petite Academy to not get your hopes up, to be vigilant and to listen to your child.

My son went here around his first birthday in June of 2012. I should have known this place was crap when I walked in for a walk through and there were wires hanging from the ceiling. Only three months in, I finally pulled my infant son from here. He just turned one and was learning to sit up in a highchair. I came to pick him up and they had me sign an incident report because they said he "fell out of his highchair twice today". After a night of thinking, I knew I needed to get a copy of that incident report because God forbid, I take my child to the doctor and he has something injured. They said they could not locate the incident report or make a new one for my files... not to mention, my son came home everyday with a new bite mark or bruise. I recommend a great home daycare, one street over, it is called ABC Kids academy. She is a wonderful lady and her prices are wonderful. My son actually knows how to count to 15 and knows all of his ABCs because I made a change from this place to a place that actually cares about the little sweeties.

I cannot say enough good things about this academy and their staff!! My granddaughter has been attending this facility for almost a year and I have the great pleasure of dropping her off and picking her up everyday! I love that everyone knows who we are, they are always gracious and supportive in helping us in anyway we need!! La Petite supports the education of their teachers through corporate trainings, scholarships, child development associate credentials and in house continuing education! I have complete confidence when leaving Abigail at this facility that she will be cared for in a safe, loving environment. She even sits at a table like a big girl when she gets here-better than she does at home! You will not be disappointed when you entrust this academy to the health and well being of your child!! Thank you Ms. Sheila and the whole staff at this La Petite for being there for our family-youve become our extended family and we love you!!

I love everything, the teachers, the parents, the enviornment. This school is not just a school they turn into your family and they treat your child like family. My son had started in a different care facility when he was first born and it did not work out well in any way but when we found La Petite Acadamy all those worries and fears were gone. Their open door policy is awsome, they help your child learn school age things. I am a firm believer in interaction and this place does just that. They are not only caring and patient with the children but also with the parents. I could not be happier with La Petite and words could not describe how much I appreciate and love their program and the people.

They are amazing. My baby has learned so much and made so many friends. The teachers are awesome, they let you know everything that goes on, and they are like a big family.
