Everyone from front desk staff to the teachers care so much about the well being of their students and their families. A special thanks to the infant room teachers who take such excellent care of the babies and treat them as if they're their own. We're so blessed to have found this La Petite. -Nervous first time parents 10/10 recommend ----- Author: Kaylea Crumbliss Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/13/2021, 1:33:01 AM Review: Our infant son has been going here for 6 months and I couldn't be happier. Our son loves his teachers and I know/trust he's being taken care of well while he's there. All the teachers in the building know my son by name and say hi everytime they see him. They update you throughout the day about what you child is eating, diapers, and naps. They even can send photos which always makes my day. I was so nervous sending my baby to another daycare after the first one was horrible but I'm so happy I picked here. The first week he attended I watched the cameras from the minute they turned on till they turned off and all I saw was my baby happy and being taken care of. I still watch the cameras from time to time and love seeing the teachers reading to the kids or blowing bubbles or just even making faces to make my son laugh. The director Ann Marie has been fantastic. I will recommend this daycare to anyone anytime. ----- Author: Brooke Wilfong Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/11/2021, 9:21:14 PM Review: Absolutely love sending my daughter here! She's 3 months old and in the infant program and I could not be happier with the way she is loved and treated there! Her teachers are phenomenal and being able to know she is safe and loved by everyone in this center is such a relief, especially with her being so young.

Absolutely best team you could ask for. Smart, experienced, loving and fun. Every time we walk in every person greets, call the kids by name. AnnMarie, Tiff and Neisha are great leaders and don't ask anything they wouldn't do themselves. You don't see work ethic like that .

Been sending my kids to La Petite for close to 3 years and I love them. The staff is always friendly and Ms. Ann Marie is always helpful. As a Foster mom who tends who have kids in and out she ensures the process is smooth. So grateful to the staff.

La Petite Academy has been an incredible place for our family! Ann Marie is the best in the business. Combining love with skill and personal responsibility. The past few years have been a challenging time in our lives, Ann Marie, Tiffany and the staff went above and beyond to support us, and we will always be grateful. They didn’t just take care of Dominic—they cared for all of us in a way that felt personal and genuine. From the moment we walked through the door, the warmth and kindness of the team stood out. The teachers greeted Dominic every day with enthusiasm and love, making him feel like he was part of a big, happy family. Their patience, creativity, and positive energy created an environment where Dominic could thrive, learn, and feel safe. We also want to thank the director and staff for their consistent communication and understanding. They made a real effort to connect with us, not just as parents, but as people. It’s clear that they truly care about the children and families they work with. La Petite Academy is more than just a daycare or school—it’s a community of people who make a difference. Thank you for being there for us when we needed it most!

I haven't actually gone here or taken my children. But I am in search for a daycare and after looking at these reviews, this daycare makes me nervous. They only respond to positive reviews and the only negative reviews they respond to are people stating that they could not get through on the phone or website to schedule a tour. Not acknowledging the actual problems that occur at this daycare. That is all I need to see to make my decision to NOT bring my babies here.

I’ve read a lot of reviews about La Petite. However, our experience has been amazing. Our son struggles with (undiagnosed) ADHD symptoms. La Petite has adjusted the way they work with my son to be sure they help us teach him how to regulate his emotions. They have been amazing with him and I’ve seen a huge change in him in only the 8 months we have been here. He LOVES his teachers and friends and brings home so many fun pictures and art. They reward good behavior and we love that! Thank you to Ashley, Ann Marie, Neisha, Dena and the rest of the awesome staff that has worked with us to continue shaping our energetic 4 year old!🩵

Wish there was a option for 0 stars Worst place ever they abuse your children mine ages 2 and 3 very aggressive they put their hands on your kids flip kids off the Matt from nap time and if your kid needs to go to the bathroom and the teacher doesn’t feel like taking them at that time they will slam the door on your kids hand so for the sake of your children DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THIS PLACE Untrained and don’t care very rude they take up for the employees that abuse your kids DCF cases and police reports filed at this place also my son has a unexpected bruise on his face and nobody knows where it came from
