Only good thing about this school is they get you in quickly & have cameras (no one have time to be watching the camera all day) ----- Author: G Borja Rating: 1/5 Date: 6/25/2024, 10:38:26 AM Review: Unfortunately I have mixed feelings about this place. The wondercamp wasn't at all what I expected. They missed two activities with no explanation. The kids also have so much down time where they are not doing anything other than waiting for the "teacher" to clean up after meals or setup for meals. This would give them time to hit each other. While the teacher walked past she says nothing to address the situation. That's strike one. Strike two- There was barely any interaction with the kids. Majority of the time she was on a tablet or writing stuff. It didn't feel warm and welcoming. My child also confirmed how she wasn't very nice but she was okay. When i dug deeper into the explanation she said she would just try not to ask any questions to the teacher.. They give you access to cameras which is why I have seen most of this kind of behavior. I thought maybe it was an off day as we are all human but it continued. Mind you some of us actually watch our children in the classroom. Third strike was when the kids would eat. I watched how they were thrown spoons, forks or plates. Yes THROWN, they threw the utensils at them as if they were dogs. My child even said she had to wipe her spoon off because the teacher was not nice and threw it on the floor. Yes she may have tried to aim it at the table but according to my child she didn't even say sorry. So yes it was rude! I was asked what happened when I pulled her out of the program.. this question shocked me. Do you not see from the cameras you have at the front door?? If not then THAT is more concerning.

Roaches, roaches, roaches……. I get it , it happens but not doing anything about it is beyond me. Have caught the teacher on the camera on a screaming rampage a few times nothing was do about it . Honestly not a school I would recommend.

Called to get an inquiry for daycare for my 2 children and the woman I spoke to was very rude. Definitely not sending my babies here.

My daughter goes to this location and has had a great experience. It was her first time in daycare so like many toddlers, the first week was tough but, the staff was friendly, patient, and welcoming & made me feel very comfortable. Shes been there for 6months and I have no complaints. She looks forward to going to school & seeing her “friends”. They have a great curriculum, and healthy food options. They also have an app that gives you live updates, which gives us parents, a peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare. Thank you La Petite for all you do!

I have no complaints whatsoever for this La Petite location. Every single staff member is just warming and inviting! Stephanie and Lisa are just wonderful and every single teacher my son has had were just amazing! Having to put my oldest in daycare for the very first time was very nerve wracking and scary for me, but La Petite made it so easy and reassuring that my baby was in good hands! Thank you to everyone at this La Petite location for going above and beyond for my child!!

My daughter just started here awsome place all the staff have been very helpful in the transition process as my daughter has never been in daycare. I must say everyday I'm impress on how they treat her and care for all the kids. No rashes no germs she is always in tip top shape and most of all she is safe. I must say I trust them caring for my moma bear. Thanks guys you Roc!
