We had our infant here and she was so well cared for! Ashley knows every kid who walks in (or carried in) through that door. It's so convenient to have sheets, diapers, wipes and food provided, but the biggest blessing is the love that is poured out into the children. Highly recommend!

We are so happy with our experience at La Petite! The staff is incredibly caring and attentive. We appreciate the communication from the teachers and how they keep us updated on our child's progress.
Highly recommend this wonderful place!

My child has spent almost five years at La Petite and we’ve had a great experience overall. I’m especially impressed by how well prepared my child was to start kindergarten by the Pre-K teachers!

I was planning on putting my baby in a different daycare. For 2 weeks I tried to get her enrolled. It was harder than it should be. I called La Petite to inquire about part time daycare for my 2 year old. I was in the office enrolling her that day. My boss's kids go there and they love it. The place is clean and they offer so many extracurriculars...we are really excited to attend.

It felt like Ashley and Maddison truly loved my child and cared for her well being. Them, as well as the teachers, would always have good stories about my child’s day. There was a very constant dialogue with regard to my child’s growth and education. The parents and other students were also very friendly and welcoming. There is a sense of community and tons of fun activities for the kids to enjoy. We especially liked the prom ballet classes!

We have been with La Petite on Church Road since the beginning of 2020 and have had a fantastic experience. From infants all the way to school age now. Great teachers, great leadership, and lots of activity options.

Best day care ever. My daughter Bridger loves it there.

As a concerned parent, I am deeply troubled by the practices at this daycare center. My child, who struggles with incontinence issues, was subjected to corporal punishment here. This is not just unacceptable; it's outright abusive. No child should ever be physically disciplined for something beyond their control, such as toileting accidents.
Instead of understanding and support, my child received punishment. This approach not only fails to address the underlying issue but also creates fear and shame in children who are already vulnerable. A daycare should be a safe haven where children feel nurtured and supported, not a place where they are punished for their bodily functions.
Furthermore, the staff's attitude towards my concerns was dismissive and defensive. They seemed unwilling to acknowledge the harm caused by their actions. This lack of empathy and professionalism is appalling.
I strongly advise against sending any child, especially those with special needs or challenges, to this daycare. Their use of corporal punishment demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of child development and basic human decency. Parents entrust daycare centers with their children's well-being, and this facility has utterly failed in that regard.

Overall we have been very happy with our experiences with La Petite. They were recommended to us by a neighbor when my wife and I were looking for a daycare for our son and they have not disappointed. Leadership staff is extremely friendly and communicative, and we have had virtually nothing but positive experiences.Parents have the ability to view whichever classroom their child is in for added accountability, are regularly provided updates on the provided app on nap times, food and bathroom updates, and occasional photos throughout the day most days. We have had a very small amount of nitpicks that honestly aren't even worth bringing up because when we communicated them to staff, they were promptly addressed and followed up on.It's not cheap, though that's pretty much par for the course with every daycare these day, but we feel like we are getting what we pay for and then some, as my son is virtually always happy (as much as a toddler can be) there. We have recommended La Petite to other parents and will continue to do so!Pros: Strong leadership, fantastic communication and friendliness, teachers and staff are friendly and attentive, safe, food and diapers are provided (keep in mind there is a diaper fee but it's worth it not having to send your own in), and strongly recommend them.Cons: This is more a nitpick than anything, but the parking lot is VERY small, and since staff need to park there, sometimes pickup in the afternoon can be a little hectic if there are lots of parents picking up at the same time.

We love love love La Petite! We have two kiddos enrolled here and we couldn’t be more grateful for such a great school. The teachers here are amazing - they truly take the time to get to know our kids and are loving, attentive, and kind. The directors, Ashley and Madison, are not only super organized, kind, and on top of everything, but they get to know all of the kids and parents on a personal level. They also plan so many fun activities and themed days for the kids and just make it a fun, happy place to be. We’ve been to other preschools prior to this and nothing has compared to the caliber of this La Petite. Highly highly recommend. Thank you!

I've had both children at La Petite and could not be happier! My oldest was fully prepared when it was time to go to Kindergarten and my youngest is currently in pre-K and thriving. The teachers and environment are top notch. Not to mention they're the first school in the area to get the Heart Safe accreditation!
