Very impressed with La Petite for my toddler. Ms Jocelyn and Ms Aedan create a warm and safe environment for my son. He comes home with a craft almost every day. They share videos and picture updates every day. They do a lot of reading and his speech has improved. The director, Ms Jordan, is great at timely communication.

La Petite is the best of the best. The leadership and teachers are top notch. They truly love and care for your child. It’s very clean and they always have fun activities for the kids. In my opinion, you can’t get better than La Petite. As a working mom, it really puts my mind at ease knowing my child is happy and fulfilled during the day.

My son adores the educators and caregivers at LPA. They treat him like he’s one of their own children. As a first time mom returning to work, it was so scary to think about leaving my child with strangers, but the team at LPA has truly gone above and beyond my expectations for caregiving. They’re an incredible group…
