My son is still there and has been since an infant. His teachers are loving and truly care about his development. ----- Author: Rose Henriquez Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/13/2022, 7:41:32 PM Review: As a first time mother, I Genuinely love this child care center. They are very true to their mission statement and the curriculum they have created for the infant classroom. They do some pretty cool/fun things with the infants (photo attached). I feel more than comfortable and confident every morning dropping off my daughter. The staff is absolutely fantastic; Very sweet and accommodating. I absolutely love that they also use an application called brightwheel. They truly take the time to keep track of everything they do with the children as well as sending updated photos. This makes my day every time. I would absolutely recommend this child care facility to anyone. I plan to keep my daughter here as she continues to grow.

I love that there are cameras so I can check up on her throughout the day, and she loves it too as she will ask if I got a chance to see what she was doing when I pick her up! ----- Author: Noneya Business Rating: 1/5 Date: 12/9/2024, 4:50:47 PM Review: It was our first day and it would be the last day. I am not sure why they have the live camera to watch because even with the camera you see how they are with the babies. They are very cold to those babies in there, we witnessed the worker grabbing the baby by one arm, we witnessed the worker pushing the baby to the side with her foot. The other worker decided she would put the baby down rough as he was crying! When I arrived that same baby was to the corner out of the view of the camera still crying. When I asked they worked around it with excuses! The so called director is young herself and she was not at all helpful. Gave excuses. Beware of putting your baby or children here as they will not get the love a baby needs. If you don’t like children or your job why even bother. I will be contacting the head of this business.. the workers are rude and nasty and it’s clear they don’t care at all for these babies, it’s about a paycheck…. ⚠️⛔️‼️ ----- Author: Taylor Humfleet Rating: 5/5 Date: 1/29/2024, 7:36:51 PM Review: I’m so glad I checked out this Daycare 2 years ago when I needed it. As someone who was scared of daycares at first, their cameras give me a lot of peace of mind. All of their classrooms are very clean, neat, and the staff is very sweet. I highly recommend! ----- Author: Roselyn Cruz Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/23/2023, 1:05:20 PM Review: La Petite is a wonderful place to leave your child, I love the camera access and the communication system gives me peace of mind while I'm at work. Thanks to all the staff! ❤️❤️❤️ ----- Author: Nicole Flores Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/17/2022, 3:33:44 PM Review: When we moved to Fleming Island I searched for preschools which were VPK Florida “gold sealed” and La Petite was one which has the gold seal of approval for all children. My girls are not yet in VPK, but when they are eligible I wanted to make sure they went to a gold sealed school. La Petite has been fantastic to both us as the parents and our 2 girls. They have accommodated our schedules (allowing us to go full time due to home renovations) and then allowing us to drop down to part time. How wonderful is it that they would be this flexible with us! They always have activities for the kids to do. I love that they have cameras where I can just open the app and take a peek at what my girls are doing. They also have parents’ night out option! We’ve done it every time. It is very reasonably priced, too. I’m very selective in my choices. I have been extremely happy with this daycare/preschool and they have my highest recommendation.

Miss Kim is awesome teacher, my kids love her, as well as miss Tavia. Highly recommend the school
My babies attended La Petite Academy at Orange Park for 3 years. I absolutely loved everything about the experience. As a mom, I significantly value knowing that my girls were safe, clean, fed, happy, and learning daily. They made several friends and created bonds with their teachers. We will miss this place truly. Thank you to the leaders, Ms. Brittany and Ms. Tavia. And special thank yous from the bottom of our hearts to the staff; Ms. Jelisa, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Cassie, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Luda, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Tony, Mr. Linval, and everyone else who played valuable roles in our children's lives.

Our kids have been at this La Petite for over two years and we have had an amazing experience. The staff are thorough and professional and also know all the kids well. They’ve worked with us through difficulties and made a huge difference for us.
It’s always hard to leave your baby under the care of someone else, but the teachers at La Petite are so caring and considerate! Our toddler loves his teachers and the exploration and outdoor activities provided.
My son is a bit delayed with speech and coming from a negative childcare experience the first few days were extremely hard for us. But we quickly realized that this center different. They have taken the time and attention to learn my son and find ways to support him as best as they can. If there is any concern they are immediately addressed. I couldn’t be happier with our decision. My son is flourishing.
We just toured this preschool and left appalled of the condition of the building, the poor attitude of the staff, and the false advertisement online on their website. The place was filthy, the teacher was rude to the children as we were walking around, the food looked awful, the play ground was run down, as well as the classroom. The office staff did not give off friendly vibes at all. I would never ever leave my child at a place like this. I was given a ton of incorrect information over the phone so it was a huge waste of time.
Our 3 year old attends here. All of the staff is great! They are patient and kind and my son enjoys going! I can check in on my son at any time with the cameras. He is always learning something new here! He wasn’t a big fan of daycares, but La Petite of Orange Park has changed that for him! Highly recommend :)
