Tenacious Wilson3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Tenacious has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I have encountered some challenges in communication with the Assistance Director and the Director. There appears to be a lack of coordination and information sharing between them and the parents. Additionally, the Assistance Director seems to be unfamiliar with the current processes and procedures. The team is operating with limited staffing, and it appears that the Director and Assistance Director are primarily focused on supervising the children rather than hiring additional staff such as teachers or aides. I believe there may be opportunities to improve overall leadership and staffing strategies to better support the program.

We would appreciate the chance to speak with you directly so we can better understand what happened and support your family. Please contact our family support team at 800-527-3848 so we can talk in more detail.

I have been taking my children here since my daughter was six months old and my son was 11 months old. We are very happy with the service provided, La Petite and their staff never fail to go the extra mile for my children and our family. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the comfortability, knowing that I can work and my children are safe. I really appreciate the camera access and all the updates that we get through SproutAbout of the cute pictures and activities that they are doing throughout the day. La Petite is more than just a daycare, my children have learned their ABCs, counting, and are actively participating in social interactions and learning every day. We are so proud to be a part of the family here and I highly recommend this facility to anybody who is looking for care. ☺️ thank you La Petite for always going above and beyond to keep my children safe,happy, and learning!

Chanel Irving3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Chanel has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
As a mom of two, finding a daycare where I feel completely comfortable leaving my children was one of the most important decisions I've ever made. From day one, the staff has been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in my children's growth and happiness. They communicate with me regularly, keep the facility clean and organized, and create a safe, loving environment where my kids are excited to learn and play every day.
My children are more confident, social, and independent, and I love seeing the creative projects, educational activities, and fun experiences they bring home. It's clear that the teachers truly care about each child's development and treat them like family.
Thank you to the entire team for everything you do for our family!
