My son has been at La Petite Acadamey for a year. He had started when he was 15 months and I was a bit nervous as he had been staying at home prior to that. But he adjusted well, and within the first few weeks he was happy to be playing with all his new friends, exploring different sections of his classroom, running around in the outdoor park section and participating in story time and the different arts and craft activities.We have had a good experience with the La Petite team, the teachers (like Ms. Samanta, Ms Isis and several others) have been very responsive and caring, posting several photos and updates on the app. During pickup and dropoff the teachers were knowledgeable about our sons day, and would share stories of what he had been upto (I would always look forward to hearing about it, and felt that our son was well cared for).The administrative staff have been professional (keeping us informed of any falls/ incidents promptly) and approachable. They coordinated several events during the year like photo session, summer camp, trick or trunk and football camps (during class hours).

I absolutely love La Petite! I started off with two of my children attending now I have my three little ones attending. Ms. Kelly & Ms. Jocelyn are truly great, whatever concern I may have they are on top of it, they go out of their way to make sure us parents and children are happy. As for the teachers Ms. Elsa, Ms. Samantha, Ms. Denise, Ms. Neve, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Isis & the rest of the staff Thank you to all you ladies that make my children feel safe & welcome every single day. I promise you won't regret bringing your children here they send you updates, pictures throughout the whole day.! I don't see myself taking my children to any other day care. We love it here.

I'm thrilled to share that my son absolutely loves La Petit Academy! He has been attending for some time now and is thriving in their nurturing environment. The staff is incredibly supportive, and my son is developing a wide range of new skills. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

As a kid I remember attending la petite during the summer while my mom worked; me and my sister had a blast to say the least. Now I have transferred my little one back to la petite and it feels like home; Miss Kellie is very sweet and attentive, has a handle on everything and is very hands on. The teachers are very informative and warm, which made my little one's first week a great experience being in a new center. Just wanted to say I appreciate them for making this transition a good experience

I would not recommend having a tour scheduled here or possibly bringing your child here for daycare. The director was very rude right when I walked in! The tour wasn't even a thorough tour, maybe because the time my appointment was at since it was at the end of the day but that is still no excuse. 1st impressions mean everything to parents especially if they are putting there trust in you to watch their child.

We have been with La petite for about 2 years now, and this is an amazing school. Ms Kelly the director is always so sweet and inviting always happy to see us. This school has so many things to offer their teachers are so sweet and kind. My son started in the infant room with Ms Louise and Ms Hayley and they are the sweetest teachers, they made it easier for me to drop off my son everyday knowing he was in good hands . We also love Ms Josslyn and Ms Adriana all of their teacher actually talk to you and build a relationship with you and your child. I love that they send me updates and reassure me on days when my little ones have had a rough morning. Also they have live cameras where I can check on my kids an see what they are up to at any point of the day and can see how much fun they are having or what they are learning and seeing the teachers comfort them. This school is truly amazing!!

Late to the review, but oh well. We brought our daughter here when she was 2, she just turned 5. We did a walk through and met everyone. I vividly remember the director saying we "needed to bring our daughter here because she's so pretty." Being a relatively new mom I wasn't as grossed out by that as I am now. Every time I dropped her Orr and picked her up she SOBBED. She hated it. Further, they forced the children to nap with the lights on. Once I said something they told me it was the law. After a few more days I finally pulled her from the facility. When I did the final interview I asked them about the "lights on policy," and she said that it was CA law that all "licensed" care facilities leave the lights on for nap time. I showed her that wasn't true and she said I didn't know what I was talking about and too bad. I have since taken our daughter to the Jurupa Discovery Center and told them what had happened. They showed me the rules and regulations for the county and state. No where was a "lights on" rule. This place overall was terrible and it took a long time for our daughter to nap regularly again. Forcing littles to sleep with the lights on could be compared to prisoners being forced to leave lights on, it's terrible and would never wish this place on any one.

I called to get information about their childcare, part time options, fees, etc and they REQUIRED me to give my kids names abd birthdates before getting info on their pricing or even if they offer programs from 3 days a week. RED FLAG NO THANK YOU!

Take your kid here at your own risk! Miss Louise is very rasict and treated my son like he was trash. She would never acknowledge them and now I find out a year later she was talking about my son to another parent. How can you treat a infant like that is beyond me! On top of that (her husband) who doesn’t work there followed me into the parking lot and called me a “welfare recipient” because he didn’t like the way I was driving. I told the director about it and they said they can’t do nothing about it because he isn’t their employee and they made it so uncomfortable for me to be there to the point I put in a two weeks notice! If you are of color please please please stay away because you will be treated like your nothing and the director will have nothing to say about it but the fact “Louise loves the kids” defending her and not caring what happens to the parents or children!

I like the place, good security, friendly staff, reasonable pricing but my son loves it. He has so many friends here and it is amazing how fast he is learning here. Thanks to this school I feel like he is more advanced then then other children his age which is a wonderful feeling you can't put a price tag on.

My girls went here for 4 years up until or recent move. This facility is amazing and I don't just mean their curriculum and activities they provide to the children I mean the staff as well. They became family after our 4 years at La Petite my girls adored their teachers, they really impacted their lives in such positive ways. The staff genuinely care about the children, how they can help them in areas the children may struggle, they build relationships that will last a life time, and they do everything possible to make sure your child is ready to advance to the next lever. Thank you Kellie & the La Petite staff for your dedication & hard work!

Both my children attended the school albeit a few years ago however at that time they really enjoyed the classes and instructors. Plus it was reasonably priced compared to daycare.

My son has been attending La Petite Academy since he was 2 years old and now is 4 years old. The teachers and staff have been great. My son has learned so much and loves all his teachers. Thanks to all his teachers he has had, Ms. Cassie, Ms. Angie and currently in Ms. Susette and Ms. Jackie class. I'm very happy with their communication and flexibility with our scheduling needs. I love getting photos via our app and knowing what they learned that day. I recommend this school, it has been a great experience for our family.
