Me and my wife picked this center for our 2 year old son based on good reviews we read online. But our experience was disappointing. I have to admit there were a couple of good teachers that we really liked, specially Mrs Winters who is a great care taker. Also the director is very friendly and responsive. But I also have to admit that most of the other teachers dont seem to care that much. They give the minimum amount of attention to the children. Also the center looks very understaffed. That could be one of the reasons most of the teachers dont seem to care. I remember one day when I was dropping my son off at the day care on my way to work and there was no one in my sons room and I had to wait for about 10 minutes before the assigned teacher showed up. When I asked one of the teachers in the next room why there was no teacher in my sons room, she dismissively replied that she doesnt know. If you want a center for your child who would do more for your kids than just changing diapers and serving them lunch, look elsewhere.

My daughter loved it here. The toddler teachers are amazing. Ms. Stephanie was awesome and my daughter loved her. The director and assistant director answered any questions I had and did everything in a timely manner. I just dislike how they dont open at 6a like the other one in town. Thats ultimately the reason I had to remove her. I was going to move her regardless prior to her entering the Twos room because I wasnt really fond of one of the teachers there after I went to pick up my daughter one day and she was subbing in the Toddler room. A new kid had just started and came to her crying and she literally sat there looking into space with the most annoyed look on her face. Im not sure how the other teachers were, but I wasnt really fond of the infant teacher that is there early in the morning either. The toddler teachers are awesome though.

My daughter is currently 12 weeks old and started La Petite about two-three weeks ago. The assistant director, Danita, is very friendly and professional. The staff are wonderful, especially the morning teachers in the infant room (Ms. Cheman and Ms. Millena). You are required to wear booties in the infant room for hygiene purposes. The staff are great at changing out the crib sheets, sanitizing the toys, keeping the floor clean, etc. My daughter isnt mobile yet but her teachers are still very engaged with her. They help her with tummy time, hold her, talk to her, and give her a lot of attention. The best thing about this daycare facility is they have an app that sends you updates and pictures of your child all day. It is a great way to keep families connected with their children. As a first-time mother, I highly recommend this facility.

My 2 yr old son just had his first day at La Petite and I am very impressed. His teacher wrote up a wonderful journal of his day providing lots of details (more than I experienced in previous care centers). The director took pictures of him and created a nice first day collage and was able to also tell me all about his day. This center is smaller than others weve visited and therefore has a great family feel to it where all the teachers interact with all of the kids. Our son only has three other students in his class so he gets a lot of attention and love. My daughter will be in the infant room in just a few weeks. Weve visited that room many times, including a trial run, and the teachers are warm and friendly. We are so happy we joined!

We enrolled with La Petite after having a horrendous experience with another center. What a HUGE difference!!! My kids are happy and constantly talk about the fun stuff they do every day (last week my son couldnt stop talking about the volcanos they made). The teachers are so sweet and if I have any questions I know I can call or email anytime and get a quick answer. Very satisfied with this school.

My boys love La Petite! The teachers are so caring and attentive to my childrens needs. They offer great summer programs, have a wonderful curriculum (my 4 year old can write his name!) and they have a great time every day. They enjoy going to La Petite which makes me feel better when I go to work that they are in a safe enviornment that they love.

My son started at La Petite two months ago, when he was three months old. He loves it there, I drop off and pick up a happy, well-cared for baby. They use an app that tells me when he has eaten, napped, had his diaper changed and best of all they send me pictures of my little one. They have made my back to work experience an easy one.

The staff members are very friendly and they do a lot of hands on activities with the kids. Communication is very open there and my children are very safe and comfortable there.
