My child loves this school. From the begining they have made her feel welcomed. The staff is great. Always with a smile on ther face. The cost is great. The food is nutritious and the snacks too. They open very early. My kid loves her teacher and friends.

This daycare has gone downhill since Francesca left.I’ve dropped my child off the VPK multiple times and there have been teachers yelling at students. I never know what classroom my child will be in at pick up or what teacher she will be with.Monday (11/27) at pick up there was a teacher holding a completely naked toddler on her hip outside at 5pm when it was 60ish degrees. No effort or rush to dress this child. Two other teachers stood there laughing about this poor girl.When I spoke with the director, Darlene, the next morning her tone was accusatory and she did not seem as concerned as she should’ve been.My nephew unfortunately goes to this facility as well. My brother in law has been stopped multiple times by teachers complaining they don’t make enough money working there.I’m not sure what Darlene is doing but her staff clearly isn’t happy with her as well.The facility always smells dirty as well. At no point have I walked in and thought ‘it smells freshly cleaned in here.’As a parent, it is concerning the level of neglect going on at this facility. If you have other options, do not send your children here.I also elevated my complaints to the district manager, Kelly Aleknavich, who did not seem concerned about anything going on at this facility.

I want to start off by saying that I am very pleased with La Petite Academy. My grandbaby has been attending this school since she was a baby and I must say the staff and teh facility ahs been highly professional and caring. My baby has learned so much. She is in the pre school stage already and I must reaffirm she loves her teachers and all staff. I can just go on and on statring with Mrs Ortiz, Ms. Vero is one of her most favorites she just loves her to death. Ms. Khaleya she just loves her and I can just keep going and naming teachers. The entire staff is just amazing and very professional and let me not forget to mention Mrs Lery a wonderful leader here at the school.

Alice Road, Kissimmee. Drove up to see a caregiver sitting with babies outside in the blazing heat in July, not even watching them. She was sitting down on a structure and couldn't see some of the tiny babies behind her. My daughter in law had an appt. Took time off of work as did I. Was not let in the door. It was dirty at the front door and we were told no tour today sorry. No new appt, nothing. RED FLAGS ALL AROUND!

I have so may things to say about this place and I wish someone does read these reviews as this place needs to be closed down. My Son and his wife relocated from Massachusetts here in Florida and needed a day care for my grandkids. First, we had to disenroll my 5 yr old granddaughter as she was severely affected and we didn't know why she wouldn't want to go. She would be crying the entire weekend begging us not to take her there.Now we still have our 12 month old, that was transitioned to the toddler room because it is their protocol but he doesn't walk yet. So he was bitten 4 times and the response from the teacher was: "there is nothing we can do , as they are babies and they bite" . Really ?? where is the Supervision ? I can understand that could happen but 4 TIMES ?????I went to pick up my grandson in 2 occasions he was left out on a corner by himself crying NON STOP and why ?? because he doesn't walk and they told me they are only 3 for all the kids and cant be carrying him. My grandson (12 month old) changed like he seemed upset all the time, cried every morning as he didn't want to be there. So please, I am begging you not to take your most precious gift form God to this place as they will be emotionally and physically damaged.They are Negligent and unprofessional

My son was in that school for 5 months. I regret for the rest of my life that I entrusted my son's education to this place, which I personally cannot classify as a pre-school. This is a place for you to leave your child and he will spend the day wandering around. In 5 months my son learned almost nothing! Every time I came to pick him up, he was playing alone, I thought it was strange and asked why he didn't play with other children and this place said it was just that moment, because he used to play with other children. After some time trying to understand the situation and keep talking every day to my son to understand his routine at school, he told me that children were bullying him and even other more serious things that I’ll need to investigate with a psychologist (unfortunately , I need to bring my son to the psychologist) . That was why he was isolated, did not socialize, and did not learn anything. He was bullied all the time. What they did to my son is not done with the worst enemy. I now need to forgive myself for not realizing this before and getting him out of this trash place. Please parents, analyze well who you are going to trust your child's education, this place I do not recommend at all. I would like to be now writing a good review and not having gone through what I went through, but unfortunately, I write this review with pain in my heart because I am reliving my son's pain.

I was hesitant about writing this. Someone spilled coffee in my daughter, they told me she was outside playing and got dirty but the t-shirts clearly says it was something spilled. It had a strong odor of coffee coming from a 3 year old. So, someone spilled hot coffee in my daughter and nobody cleaned her, checked her or changed her and that was maybe in the lunch time, I picked her up at 2:30pm so I guess she was at lunch with a dirty shirt, sleeping with a wet shirt and none of the two teacher cared about her. NEGLIGENTShe was in the classroom of "TWOS" if you child is there, go, sit and watch the cameras. Those two ladies don't know how to treat toddlers. 30 minutes for a toddler to eat alone? Nobody stimulates them to eat, if they are not done, that's okay, they will trash the food. You can look to the blonde one, SHE HATES BEING THERE, everything she does is with a bad attitude! The way she handles toddlers, the way she sits them, for me that is abuse.Nah!The director confirmed it was coffee from another teacher who put it on a shelf and a kid spilled to my daughter. Oh and let me say the coffee thing happened in the blind spot of the cameras!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There is good people there but not these two!Thanks Francheska Torres for taking care of this matter!

my two kids are here, and i must say that i feel very safe. love the environment, the love is giving to the kids and how everyone of the staff get involved to know the kids and participated on the classroom.Miss Dory and Miss Vanessa are the currently teachers of my boy and have to say that i go to work with a peacefull mind everyday because i know my son is being care with love. BEST DECISION EVER TO CHOOSE LA PETITE ACADEMY FOR THEM

Principal is not aware of multi- interdisciplinary team, nor child benefits and safety. If your child need any kind of individualized service that must be provided at school, look for another place.

My child attended this daycare for only 3 months and the first day my child attended came home with a black eye and i asked the teachers and they all said they never saw it that they don’t understand how it happened, the next day... Again!! And my child would tell me the name of the kid that did it and i went and talked to them, they took the kid off the classroom and the next day i go in to pick up my kid and that kid was there again? I asked the teacher and she said “i don’t know to ask the front” SMH! The teachers never knew anything and every time i would pick up my child they were always on their phone not paying attention to any of their kids ! The place is very dirty as well. If you love your child and want to be at peace when you’re at work knowing that your child is safe, then don’t enroll them in la petite academy in Kissimme. Y’all should change the management of this place.

My grandson Khodi attended this daycare one summer. Very nice place. Administration and teachers are very friendly and professional. He was not in Florida last time so I couldn't register him. Hopefully, he will come this summer. I would highly recommend this place.

While some of the teachers seem genuinely nice and caring, others are not. This place is not transparent, my son kept coming up with bruises and they refuse to show me and his mom the video. They definitely have something to hide.I wouldn't recommend this place to any parent until new "corporate" policies are in place.
