I am currently sitting in the parking lot on the other side of the La Petite playground. The teachers repeatedly are shouting commands at the children. "Stop this!" "Don't ever do that again!" "No!" Lots of "NO!" one lady just this guttural booming voice at one kid for not getting in line fast enough for her. Just belting at the children, over things that are very normal for a child in their age range. I felt the hostility even from my car on the other side of the fence.Take my observation as you will just thought it was important to share.

Don’t bother calling them. Look elsewhere and save your time.They will ask you unnecessary questions only to tell you they don’t have any openings until December.Why bother asking the age of child, days of care, etc. only to be denied?I thought I read many great reviews but I guess they’re fake.I rather take my money elsewhere and put it into a trustworthy and honest place.Just the interaction and voice alone of the people I spoke with really tells you the level of professionalism. I would be worried about my child too. Yikes!

We love this center! The teachers are so caring and loving to our child. We have been attending for over 2 years. If we ever have any issues (rarely) the management team helps us immediately. Our child is enrolled in soccer and Spanish classes as well. There are family events/celebrations monthly that we are able to attend which makes us feel as we are all one big family. Thank you for taking such exceptional care and education of our child!

This place does discriminate against children who receive help from the state. Any child care center who is willing to deny a family due to their financial situation is a place I would steer clear from. The lady I spoke with on the phone was super nice until I stated I have help paying the tuition then it was studdering followed by we have no room for children that receive state help. I will be reporting them for discrimination!

Let’s start with the fact that I went to this EXACT daycare when I was younger and it was wonderful. I now have a 4 year old myself that I am looking for care for, so I set up a tour and was told once we did the tour and got all the paperwork, etc. filled out my child would be able to start due to their being one position open in the class I was looking into. With everything being as expensive as it is at the moment, I applied for CCS and was approved, once the daycare caught wind of me receiving CCS, I was notified that "all of their DSHS family spots were filled" so I of course was disappointed but, I still need childcare at the end of the day, so OF COURSE I'm willing to pay full tuition if necessary! Once I notified them that I was fine with paying full tuition I was put on hold for about 3 minutes, then was told the spot I was looking for was actually just filled earlier that day (mind you I had just spoken to them not even an hour and a half beforehand). I let it go but, told a friend about the experience and how weird I thought it was, my friend was suspicious and ended up calling herself and asking if there were any openings in the same classroom I had requested and low and behold the spot was absolutely STILL OPEN! So at this point I feel like I dodged a bullet dealing with this daycare because if you're discriminating toward people who are trying to receive a bit of assistance while we're in the middle of a RECESSION I can only imagine how you'd judge a child!

Both my girls attended this La Petite location years apart. The teachers here are wonderful and the center is well-run and cozy. I always felt like the teachers genuinely cared about my daughters' well-being and happiness and wanted them to feel safe and loved at school. Both my girls loved their time here and were both very sad when their time at their "little school" ended. My girls and I are very isolated as the rest of our family lives 3,000 miles away and the La Petite family served as the only real social circle outside of our home that my girls had for quite some time. La Petite really contributed to my girls' growth, learning, and socialization in much needed ways and I'm very grateful for the time they were able to spend here. I can't say enough about the lovely ladies working here and I wish them all well going forward.

Both of my sons attend this school, and they both love it. The whole staff is so caring, and they're always going above and beyond for all of the kids. I've been a part of the school for almost 3 years now, and we couldn't be happier! My youngest learns so much, and always has a great time; my oldest, is being accommodated for and is able to do his remote learning with no trouble, and all the help if he needs it.

Just love this place! Our daughter started here at 6 months old (she's now 3). It can be very stressful to go back to work with a young infant, who will be looked after by others all day, 5 days a week. The ladies in the infant room were so great and caring. Some of them have worked at LPA for years! Then our daughter continued into the ones, twos, and preschool rooms. It was the same thing - loving teachers, craft and learning time, and my favorite part - outside play time (2x a day). We recieved pictures with updates throughout the day on the app which is also very nice. You know you've found a trust worthy place when you drop your child off and they run to the door with a big smile on their face...we would not have stopped going here if it weren't for a change in work circumstances for us. We will be back if things change for our family - no question. <3 thank you all for the years of care for miss H

This has been our childcare for close to ten years now with each of our three children attending. The staff treat us like family and it is so comforting to know that my children are being well cared for while we are at work. Our now toddler is the only one attending as the older two are now school age. Our toddler truly gets excited to see his teacher and the other staff members. The love and compassion that the teachers starting from the infant room on up is comforting because ultimately your trusting them with your most precious babies. I love that they have an app that sends us pictures throughout the day that makes us feel still connected with him when he is there. I highly recommend LaPetite to anyone looking for a great place for childcare.

I love La Petite! When I drop my son, I have no doubt he will be taken care of and he will enjoy his time there. He is always so excited to tell me about art time and singing songs. The staff is very respectful and professional while maintaining a family friendly environment. They do an excellent job at recording and keeping me updated on the Brightwheel app and the Watch Me Grow live stream. My mind is at ease knowing my son is safe and happy while I am working as should any other parents be if they were to enroll their child/children here!

I would not recommend this daycare even to my enemies. If you want to have lots of stress and headache everyday then go ahead and enroll your child at La petite. The staff and the teachers are extremely unprofessional. Starting with Christine Harwood who has anger issues and attitude problems. And the so called teacher Tammie Benoit always has excuses to her neglect and failure to meet her basic job standards as a preschool teacher. Aside from my toddler telling me about her use of bad words in class, I have noticed zero advancement when it comes to my son’s behavioral and educational development. Don’t waste your time and money. This daycare is a disaster and bad from every level.

I couldn’t say enough great things about La Petite! My oldest daughter started here when she was only 2 years old and I then enrolled my second daughter after she was born. There was no shortage of care or love for both my children! I loved that the Staff incorporated outside activities and learning while there. La Petite is more than just a daycare, it was somewhere I felt safe bringing my children every day, and somewhere I truly felt they were learning and growing in all aspects. The staff is wonderful, and they truly take time to invest in the children and the parents. I loved getting pictures and taking home projects they did during the day. Summer camps and additional activities were so beneficial! It was so hard to say goodbye when my oldest went onto kindergarten and we eventually moved. Christine and Shannon were always so easy to work with and truly felt more like family than anything. Would send my kids back in a heartbeat!
