Parent Reviews
We've been very happy. Our child comes home talking about his day with a smile. We enjoy that he has been able to make friends and is learning through play each and every day.
via lapetite.comThis school has great teachers and administrators. I would recommend this location to anyone seeking high quality care for this children.
via lapetite.comThe teachers and director are so caring and really feel like an extension of our family.
via lapetite.comWhen walking into this center, I knew my child would have a great experience. The first thing I noticed was the security system. You cannot simply walk in, every parent had a unique code to enter the building. The director walked us through the center in a quick efficient manner. The pride she has in her school was fantastic. LaPetite was very clean and organized. The teachers greeted us upon entering the classrooms, sharing their lesson plans, ideas on what they were learning and planning to learn. All of these factors in addition to the quality of education my children would receive is why I enrolled my toddler and pre-K child. They have both been at the center for a month, and Ms. Renee is ALWAYS KIND AND HELPFUL, and the teachers in the classrooms are phenomenal! If you are looking for a great school for all the family, this is THE place to be!
