Im so happy I chose La Petite Academy with taking care of my grandson while I work . They have an amazing teaching technique. They are teaching the kiddos instead of just letting them run around and do whatever. The staff is amazing Miss Caitlin was the one who sold me lol. She answered every question I asked with kindness and seriousness. Shes amazing at her job . You can tell she loves what she does . My grandson loves her and his teachers Miss Denise aka (Miss nee nee) miss haley and Miss Emily. I was very skeptical about daycares until I found La petite Academy. They have an app that I can log in at anytime to see how my boy is doing . He is so excited each day when we get to La Petite he loves it so much he doesn't want to go home at the end of the day lbvs. If your looking to put your kids in a daycare La Petite Academy is your beat option because they aren't just a daycare they are a school that teaches them and gets them ready for pre k and kindergarten. Miss Caitlin is the best. Thank you La Petite for doing such an amazing job at teaching my boy . Another plus is all the teachers are long term they dnt have any teacher thats been there less than 5 years and that just shows they love their jobs and it makes me feel better knowing my grandson is with loving kind lady's who love there jobs

We cannot say enough good things about La Petite. Since day one they have provided a safe, comforting environment for our little one and helped him adapt to starting daycare. He’s so excited to go each morning. It’s been so fun watching him learn and grow each week.

For a new parent, the anxiety of leaving your child in someone else's care—especially before they can fully speak for themselves—is overwhelming. However, I have been profoundly impressed by the team at La Petite. From the very first tour that we took with Carrie to every meeting since, we have always been made to feel very welcome. The teachers and administration are incredibly patient, caring, and understanding, not just with the children, but with us parents too. They go above and beyond to accommodate our requests and ensure every child gets exactly what they need. My 19 month-old son has already become so fond of his teachers Ms. Haley, Ms. Teri, and Ms. Denise, and Carrie as well. The frequent daily updates and the live feed have been a lifesaver, helping us stay connected and giving us total peace of mind. We couldn't be happier!

After trying another childcare option, La Petite has truly been a breath of fresh air. The infant care has been exceptional, with attentive, nurturing staff who clearly understand and prioritize each child’s needs. As children grow, the curriculum is thoughtful and engaging, supporting real learning and strong kindergarten readiness. The environment is warm, safe, and welcoming, and communication has been clear and consistent. We feel completely comfortable and confident knowing our kids are in such good hands and are very grateful to the staff. Highly recommend.

These teachers really want to do what's best for the kids. My autistic kiddo loves it there and they do everything they can to accommodate her. Such a relief to log on and see my girl whenever I want. Love the pics they send
