July 29, 2012 Re: La Petite Academy - Kirkland, WA Branch Mr. Lawrence Appell, This letter is in regard to your La Petite Academy branch located at 11440 Northeast 116th Street Kirkland, WA 98034. We currently have our two children enrolled at the faciltiy and have had a long tenure spanning a littler over 6 years. We just wanted to highlight to you a few of the individuals that have made our overall experience positive and one that we would recommend to other families looking for child care learning institutions. During the first few years the management of this facility was reorganized which was much needed based on our experience with the past manager of the Kirkland branch. Since the new management chages(s), Tammy has done a good job at ensuring the safety and education of the students. As with all businesses, in management there are decisions to be made and everyone is expected to achieve the companys goals. It is my experience that Tammy appears to do a very good job balancing these objectives and providing a fun atmosphere for the kids. Within any organization a manager much be surrounded by an exceptional team in order for any business to be continually successful. Sometimes finding and keeping the right employees can be the hardest part of the job. High employee turover typically leads to dissatisfied parents in this business. There have been several teachers that have shown outstanding commitment to the childrena and it has been my experience that they represent the companys mission statment to the fullest. Without these dedicated individuals we probably would have moved our children to another child care learning center years ago. The following people have been employed at this facility for a long duration and we wanted to specifically share with you the positive impact that they have provided to our children and continued support to La Petite Academy: (listed in no specific order): Amelia, Kimmy, Kim Anh, Delia, Maria, Khayla, Rabia, Helena, Judy, Tatiana, Dorothy and Nicole. These individuals exemplify what is needed in this atmosphere and we encourage you to let them know as we have, how much they are appreciated and valued as educational role models for our two children and all the children at La Petite. There are other teachers at La Petite in Kirkland that are wonderful role models as well, however these specific ones have positively impacted our childrens lives and we have witnessed first-hand the extaordinary time and efforts theyve made to entertain and teach the children. I believe their key to success is that they truly love children and they have the patience and determination to want to help them learn, not just babysit. Feel free to contact us if you have any quesitons. Best Regards, Kelly & Eliana Bryant

Our daughters have been going to La Petite in Kirkland since March of 2012 and we couldnt be happier. Both girls love spending time with their teachers and classmates. We are very pleased with how attentive and caring all of the teachers are. My youngest started when she was 9 months old and became very attached to Miss Kimmy in the infant room. My oldest started in the Toddler 2 room and was very eager to partake in the daily curriculum and activities. I love seeing what projects the girls work on weekly. The playground is very clean and up to date with modern play equipment where both girls spend time outside playing and getting the wiggles out. Some people might think you can’t get quality care at a large daycare facility but La Petite Academy is different. I would recommend La Petite Academy to anyone who is looking for a top notch quality daycare with teachers who take a genuine interest in your child. You will not be disappointed!

We enrolled in a local montessori school prior to La Petite Academy in Kirkland and had a terrible experience there. We were thrilled when we heard we could get our 8 month old into the infant room. Ms. Kimmy has 28 years of experience with infants, and our daughter took to her right away. She didnt even cry the first day I dropped her off at La Petite. Our daughter has since moved to the toddler room and is truly thriving. We feel that the curriculum, attention from the teachers, and daily activities are top notch. We feel so comfortable having our daughter there. We know that the teachers truly love and care for our daughter. She is all smiles at drop off and pick up. We feel so lucky to have found La Petite Academy, and would highly recommend it.

My nephew went here over a year ago and that is how I found out about La Petite. My son has been attending there for a little less then a year, I love having him here. The staff members are so nice and if I or Tammy have questions/concerns there is no hesitation to speak to each other. Im glad to have chosen La Petite for childcare for my 10 y/o. The hours are perfect and they are able to transport my son to his school which is really important for my son & I!

Both my boys love La Petite. First my younger son went there as my older went to his elementary school. When my younger son got home, he would brag about his day. So my older son kept begging me to go, so Im finally able to work and now both can go there. They will enjoy the friends, activities, and I LOVE that La Petite is based from a STEM academic level. Cant wait to see what they do this summer!

My sons been at this daycare for about 6 weeks. He seems to get sick less than when he was at another one. Ms. Nicole and my son get along well, and he calms down quickly. We can tell he is learning a lot everyday. So far were happy with La Petite.

Our son has been attending La Petite for many years now. The staff is always kind, and the school is very clean. Our son really enjoys his time at La Petite.
