With this being our second child enrolled with LaPetite, we have had nothing but great experiences with them. The constructive feedback during parent/teacher conferences helps us know what it is we need to continue to work on with our children and help with grow and be ready for Kindergarten.

Everyone seems genuinely concerned and caring for the students. I love the routine and organization. I love the healthy meals. I really enjoy the bright wheel app that sends me updates throughout the day. Every single teacher has been patient kind and welcoming. Absolutely zero negative comments come to mind. Keep up the great work!!
