Parent Reviews
Parents need to make sure that you are watching your child on the watch me grow app as much as possible. If your kid is telling you things are happening or suddenly doesn't want to go, there is a reason. Do not trust that everything ok. There are some great workers there but the bad ones are for some reason protected. And there is no talking with management. Gets an attitude and defensive each time something is questioned. Hmmmm??? I know why now. Just please pay attention and listen to your child, not the school.
Friendly staff and they know us by first name which really adds a personal touch. The brightwheel app has been amazing! I enjoy seeing what he's doing during the day.
via lapetite.comI have been very pleased with the teachers, office staff and director. Both of my boys are learning and seem to be comfortable in their classes.
via lapetite.comI love everything about this school. The staff clearly love to be there!
via lapetite.comChoosing a care provider to help raise your child is a difficult and trying decision but La Petite Academy makes this decision effortless! I have loved them from day 1! My son initially had a difficult transition but staff members paid special attention to him and his needs and found creative ways to soothe and comfort him during that time. I have reassurance each day that my precious irreplaceable baby is in excellent hands and it is such a relief. Thank you for the excellent job you all do in caring for such precious cargo.
