She has grown with them, and the school has become a part of our family. La Petite is not only a daycare. It’s a place of learning, a place of fun and a home for the little ones. ----- Author: Syrrah Lopez Rating: 5/5 Date: 6/1/2024, 11:26:54 PM Review: Love this daycare so much! My baby attended the infant room for 5 months and we would’ve stayed longer if we weren’t moving so far away.The teachers are very attentive, loving and caring towards the babies. We will miss this daycare and the teachers!

I’ve had my oldest at La Petite Humphrey since he was 8 months old (now 3) and my baby since he was 8 weeks old (now almost 1) I honestly was a little discouraged at the changes at first (2022/2023). Changes included staffing changes which made an impact on my oldest as he was already experiencing a lot of changes with aging up, getting used to different routines etc. however I can say that since Janice and Regina have been director and assistant director I have no complaints. Some days I call to check on my kids if I’m busy and haven’t had time to look at cameras or if I know they had a rough morning or weren’t feeling 100%. I have been nothing short of appreciative of the staff and being heard as a parent. The staff here always ensures to listen, and address as needed. I trust these women with my kids every day and I am so happy with the support, love & dedication that is provided from the staff/Teachers. I always recommend La Petite Humphrey to anyone and everyone including my patients as I always tell everyone my kids are there for 8-10 hours and I never have to worry about their wellbeing. My kids also really love their teachers and friends as well as the other staff. Thank you ladies for all of your hard work and dedication.
I can’t rave about this daycare more. I have had my children in this daycare for over a year and I couldn’t be more happier with the level of care and attention provided to them. If you are on the hunt for a daycare for your sweet baby, the director here is sooo personable and keeps the kids safety and wellbeing as her number one priority over all else. She not only listens to your concerns, but acts on them appropriately.The daycare teachers are so patient and kind to all of the kids.
2024 Update Below. 2022- 2024 Essentially both the Director and Assistant who denied me access with my 50/50 Court Order.. No longer work there. I had to find an email for the District Manager and email court documents to her.. What a process. 2024 We now have a New Director and Assistant. At first the Assistant tried to force me to sign the policy papers to trap me into having to split the cost with the Mother of my child although they didnt need me when the mother signed her up without my permission. Mind you..(Court order doesnt require me to pay this) & My Child nor I need VPK. It's basically a Daycare. I rather spend that time one on one with my child than 1 Teacher having to split her attention between 12 students. But overall they have been Ok 5/10. As for the Teachers, they have swapped multiple times.. but the current teacher has been great and my child likes her 8/10. Though La Petite does push certain narratives on our children for Example: Reading my 5 year old a book about Tattoos and a parent explaining the meaning of each of his tattoos to his son... Millions of books to choose from...thats the book La Petite Chose. The conversation in the book is even between A parent and Child!... Which proves my point, this is a conversation had between parents and children and not a Daycare and our children. Most Recent Book was called "Spooky Underpants"... out of the millions of books.
We loved our time at La Petite! The staff was kind, professional, and invested in the wellbeing of my daughter. The facility was kept clean and organized, and I never felt worried about my daughter's safety. Sprout About was frequently updated, which makes a difference when away at work all day. Having Ms Ingrid as a teacher made our time here particularly special. She's a miracle worker and made our transition to daycare so much easier. She cares deeply about her children and treats them like her own. She would always ask about doctor appointments and how they were doing outside of daycare. Even after she got older and moved rooms, Ms Ingrid would check in on her daily and my daughter would always run to greet her. She's one in a million!
Esta guardería es una de las mejores q he visitado, tratan a los niños con mucho amor y dedicación dia a día sin importar la condicion de cada niño , es muy segura y eso es muy importante
It's incredible the amount of bad reviews from a few days ago about bad experiences, which I thought only happened to me. I came to do this review because I didn't have time, but I put my daughter in this daycare, and it is the worst, both the administration and the teachers in general. Nobody there loves their profession, and everyone has a bad attitude, including the director. I saw everything on the cameras the few days that my daughter went and they really don't do anything, they let the children cry, they don't give them love or care, they throw things at the babies, it was horrible to see all that, they don't put activities for them. In short, I will never recommend this place, please parents read the reviews and do not put your children in this place. My daughter is now in another daycare, and her happy face and treatment of her is something else.
Estoy muy decepcionado de este lugar,ya que a mi hijo con un diagnóstico lo rechazaron solamente en su primer día, con excusas yo tontas y absurda. Para ser educador lo primero que tienen que hacer es amar su trabajo y tratar a todos los niños por igual. Desgraciadamente en mi caso no fue así y decidí buscar un lugar donde acepten a mi hijo y le den todo el apoyo que él necesita. Si tu hijo tiene una condición no vengan a este lugar.
