Author: Nino Brown Rating: 1/5 Date: 5/31/2024, 2:10:43 AM Review: My infant child was a student at La Petite Academy for less than “27 days”. This daycare care more about their bank account than they do the “Safe of the childen”. My child attended April 16, 2024 which was the 2nd day enrolled at the Academy. The teachers were neglectfully watching the infants, that my infant child had eating a belly full of “Daycare diaper changing paper”. Which spent an entire daycare day in his stomach and no one in the daycare cared to notice.. When pickup that day my child was abnormally sick and having trouble breathing. My first thought were to pat his back. The image that are posted are the official photos of the continuous “throw up and La Petite Academy diaper changing paper”. After getting him checked out at the ER to make sure he is good to go, i went back home to collect all of that diaper changing paper. The next day went up their with all the nasty diaper paper to La Petite to a dumb founded faculty surprised their negligence was exposed with no way to cover it up.. Here is your warning STAY AWAY from this daycare that does not prioritize children’s safety!

Our experience was the worst here. My son was there for three weeks (2 year old). TEACHERS DO NOT COMMUNICATE WITH KIDS. They do not engage with kids. They only take care of children's basic needs like giving them food and changing diapers. Otherwise, the kids are all by themselves. I literally watched on the camera one kid on top of other kid kicking him for one minute straight with no intervention. There were several kids throwing toys at one another while some other kids just hanging around by themselves or simply sitting and crying all by themselves. There may be a curriculum but they don't follow it. No activities, no story telling, no reading books, no painting... no nothing. I saw teachers pushing/pulling kids around if they need them to move instead of simply saying "come here." Terrible!
My son has been attending here since he was roughly two months old & let me just say ive never had a problem with anyone here. Mrs. Heather & Mrs. Michelle are both amazing human beings who truly care about the kids. Rakedra , Mrs. Marie Chasity & Tiffany ARE AMAZING!!!! (Everyone here is amazing but SHOUT OUT TO THEM!) He’s loved, fed and comes home super happy. Has progressed in his development and as a first time mom with tons of questions, concerns & worries they answer them ALL! Give me tips & tricks and just reassure me that my son is doing perfectly fine! I recently moved to South Tampa & STILL take my son here. I can’t think of him going anywhere else but here truly this is the best & safest place. These people will treat your kids like their own kids.
My child is in the twos class and his teachers are outstanding! The Leadership is great as well. A very caring and compassionate team. P.S. The chef is fire too!
Amazing daycare. The VPK program with Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Eugenia is top notch! Thanks for the amazing job in getting our little one ready for Kindergarten!
Great atmosphere, my 2 kids love all of their teachers, especially all of the Tod's teachers
My daughter went here for over 2 years before ageing out to Kindergarten. The staff is awesome. Miss Michelle and Miss Tiffany are gems. It's been about a month since we left, and Vanessa still talks about all of her teachers and friends there. She went from a 69th percentile to 80th percentile on the star test which shows me their methods of teaching worked. We miss y'all!
I have multiple children that have been and are in this program and we have absolutely loved all the teachers and would recommend!

My son has been going here for 2+ years now and it has been great (minus a freak shark bite that occurred on land no where near the ocean, but that is what he tells me happened one day). Seriously though the staff is always in a good mood, we get frequent updates on the app, he loves his teachers, and he comes home knowing more daily. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere to take your child.
