My husband and I are beyond thrilled to have found LaPetite Academy. We didnt think a daycare would be a good option for us, since I have an insane freelancers schedule and he works M-F. I didnt want to pay for days we didnt take him and I wouldnt take him unless I had a job. Because my jobs sometimes come up very last minute, it was a lot of work to try to find a babysitter on short notice. In home care is wonderful but finding someone to fit my ever changing week to week schedule was almost impossible. Not to mention very costly. We called around and were surprised to find that LaPetite was the perfect fit for us. Not only do they have a wonderful, warm, loving staff and a great facility that is super close to our house, but they also offer a flex-care option. This is perfect for our needs! You buy 5 days at a time and you use them as you need. So you arent paying for days you dont need. Now when I get a booked on a job, I simply email or call to let them know that our baby will be coming that day. This is great because there are times when I need 5 days for the month and some weeks where I will need him to go everyday. When the 5 days run out, you buy more. They make everything incredibly easy. Our baby loves it here and the staff makes our family feel very welcomed and loved. LaPetite has been such a blessing to us and I would encourage anyone to check them out!

This overall is the best La petite! Daycare is so expensive and even worse it's hard to find the right one that you can trust with your kids! There's so many daycares around the short pump area and I didn't just want to put my babies in a daycare convienient for me like down the street! Cause there's so many!!!! There's the upscale over priced daycares like primrose and Goddard which the staff literally not up to part for the high pay! This location is affordable and there staff is amazing!!!! I especially like the directors there very friendly and really remodeled the daycare nicely. My favorite teacher has to be Ms.Lala she is such a patient living lady. My son cries with every single person and she's the only one who knew how to care for him. Such a good spirit! I'm gonna continue with this daycare and I'm officially done daycare hoping and found the place that fits for my kids and Me and my husbands budget! Feels great my kids are safe and in a quiet street away from the business and with kind hearted people! Oh and they cleaned house thank God! There old staff was horrible. Love this place now!

As a first time Mom I was very nervous about putting my daughter in daycare. She started going around 10 months old and the very first day they made sure I was completely comfortable before leaving. They even made me a scrapbook page of her first day! They are always so happy to answer the phone and give you updates on how your little one is doing. My daughter is now 2 years old and has been in three of the different classrooms and I have to say, every single employee they have is amazing. I cant rave enough about these ladies; they really take pride in their jobs. They know me and my daughter by name and they even know my husbands name (hes only dropped her off a hand full of times). They always take the time to say hello and ask how you are doing and make sure to give each and every child individual attention. For my very first daycare experience I am so happy I chose La Petite off Church Rd, I hope I never move so I dont have to change locations!

I would recommend La Petite to anyone interested in finding daycare for their "school agers." I drop my daughter off before school and she gets bused back and forth from school to La Petite daily. I have no complaints regarding my daughters care. The ladies that directly care for the older group are very professional and always maintain control as I have seen. My daughter enjoys both Faith and Breas guidance when they help with homework. Administratively, Ashley and Kelly do a fantastic job of caring for the parents needs. If I was to complain about one thing it is the parking...very limited as they know and deal with on a daily basis. I think this is a small price to pay knowing that your kids are well taken care of when you are not with them.

After being home with my daughter for her first two years, I went back to work & enrolled her at La Petite Academy. The staff all helped with the transition the first few weeks and always kept us informed of my daughters feelings each day. She quickly became part of the schools "family" and she now looks forward to going to school to learn & play! We chose this school because we immediately felt welcome by the director and all of the staff. We also like that the school is smaller and we dont feel like our daughter will be "lost in the crowd". I feel that everyone there truly cares about my daughters well-being and her development.

I looked around at several "Academy"s in the Short Pump Area, and didnt love any like La Petite. When you walked in it was bright, warm, & inviting. My son completed his trial day and loved every minute of it! I love the monthly newsletters, Activities, Parents Night Out events, & the great educational advances my son has made in the short time he has attended. I couldnt recommend LPA to more people.

We enrolled our toddler in the Flex Care program. Ashley and all the great folks at La Petite only see our son for a day or two every couple of months when conferences or trips make his regular day-care not an option. Each time he goes, they treat him like he has been there everyday and make us feel very comfortable sending him. Flex Care at La Petite has been a true blessing for our family.

Our daughter is enrolled for the second year in a row in Summer Camp at La Petite Academy on Church Road. Just as last year its a great program conducted by a great staff of dedicated people. The staff is responsive and the teachers/instructors are truly caring about the needs of all the kids. - Thanks and : Continue the good Work!

We love this place. The staff is extremely welcoming and you know your child is in good hands. We just recently moved to the area and the staff at la petite has helped my daughter a lot with the transition.

Love this place! The staff is very friendly and the center is calm and inviting. You can tell the children are adored and that their development, safety and education are a priority.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. They are genuinely caring about the kids and very flexible with the needs of the families. I have already recommended them to others.

Not only is the staff caring and kind, the flexibility and understanding of the management is immeasurable. We especially love their infant and toddler rooms!!!
