  This LaPetite is the best daycare i have ever been to. From the staff, to the director Tiffany. My child attended this daycare since she was 3 months old(23 months now). I recently pulled her out becuase we wanted to find something cheaper and learned quickly money is not important when it comes to the best care for your child. At this daycare my child has learned sign language, learned what nice touching is, and appropriate discipline. my child is never unhappy to get dropped off and is always glowing when i pick her up. The staff gets to know the kids and form healthy relationships to make them comfortable. They take pride in keeping a safe healthy place for the children and i will always use LaPetite. I strongly urge anyone looking for child care to come to this center and you will be very satisfied. Thank you Tiffany, Angie and Lynette you guys do an amazing job and im never leaving again!

  I have waited to post my thoughts because I wanted to be clear and unemotional. My daughter attended here for a very short time early in 2014. We withdrew her after a series of incidents that have left her face scarred and us, her parents, mad as heck. Over a period of less than four weeks, our daughter was bitten and scratched in a total of five incidents. The attacks were from one child and the staff was unable to keep our daughter safe. The only thing I regret more than enrolling my daughter at this "school" is that I believed their promises of change after each incident. I strongly recommend taking your child elsewhere, for their safety and your clean conscience. ***UPDATE*** Just wanted to add that while our daughter was enrolled at this "school" she brought home exactly ZERO pieces of paper that showed us what she was doing all day. We did not actually notice this until we enrolled her elsewhere. Now she brings home artwork or writing practice almost daily. These often come with pictures of her doing the work. DO NOT expect your child to learn anything at this overpaid babysitting service! We saw no evidence of a curriculum at all. ***UPDATE*** I just want to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to learn from our experience. Unless some dramatic changes have been made, DO NOT enroll your children in this dangerous daycare. Our daughter still has scars on her face from her nightmare experiences at this center. ***UPDATE*** My little girls still has fading scars. Luckily she has forgotten what happened to her at this terrible center. Unfortunately, I never will. Do not trust this daycare to keep your child safe!

  My husband and I enrolled our grandson in La Petite Academy on Thornydale in the infant room in July of 2015. Since the very moment I walked in to this center, I knew this would be the place for us. Every day since has been proof that we made the right choice, but none more than the day our grandson was being picked up for a visit, and the new transportation driver did not have proper company identification. EVERY ONE of the staff held tight to their policy of proper ID before releasing our grandson to the driver. They requested a letter on letterhead identifying their employee be emailed, and when a "recycled" letter with an old date came through, they refused to release him. All the while, they were in constant contact with me updating me on the situation. From what I understand, the driver was not very understanding of this policy and did not conduct herself very professionally, but they never backed down. Finally, the proper documentation was provided, and our grandson was released. We are very impressed and pleased with the manner in which this situation was handled. Standing their ground to ensure the safety of our grandson, to ensure the safety of each and every child enrolled in their center, is commendable. It is apparent that Tiffany, the director, has done an excellent job of training and guiding her staff in the classroom with the children, and on how to handle these types of situations. We highly recommend La Petite Academy and extend our deepest gratitude to the entire staff for caring for our grandson in our absence. Henry & Lillian
