For an entire year, my daughter was denied a vegetarian meal, despite my providing a doctor's note…read moreand repeatedly informing staff of her dietary needs. Gloria was the staff member responsible for not providing the meal, and this was not a matter of miscommunication--it was a consistent disregard for both medical and parental instructions. In addition, I have witnessed and experienced targeted treatment toward my children, particularly my youngest. For example, when another child physically harmed my 5-year-old, the incident was overlooked. However, if my daughter made a verbal remark, it was treated as a serious offense. This pattern of inconsistent discipline, favoritism toward certain children, and a dismissive attitude toward others raises serious concerns about inclusivity, fairness, and possible racial bias. In my observations, Gloria frequently displayed a rude and unwelcoming demeanor toward children she did not favor, while showing preferential treatment to others. This environment does not reflect the values of respect, equity, and inclusion that should be expected in a setting responsible for the well-being and development of children.

I had a lot a of anxiety bringing the baby to care but the management team and the infant teachers were nothing but supportive and welcoming which helped my family have a smooth transition back to work. I love the activities in both the infant classroom and the toddlers and twos programs. I have noticed my oldest picking up with his speech and other skills so fast and I owe it to this center. I also love the community feel of this school. Between events and other ways the school has gotten involved to help others, my family and I are just so happy to be apart of it. Ultimately, being able to wake up every morning and watch my oldest excited to go to school is priceless!

They have enough to accommodate buses. The grounds are well maintained. They have pavilions that you can reserve for large groups and picnic tables available on a first come first serve basis. One you arrive and check in a employee with come out to brief your group. They will pass out your tickets for your time slot. Definitely reserve your time slot online and fill out the waiver prior to coming. After check in you will get a safety briefing then go through the practice course. After that you are free to explore the course. They have many different levels from easy to extra challenging. Very fun time had by all. They do not have any food options on location so be sure to eat before or bring lunch. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. They provide you with gloves included in the price:

The zip lines were amazing and it also teaches kids a lifelong lesson. It's OK to have fears. It's just about being able to overcome them, different and abilities may be different too. i'm truly glad I've had the experience. I want to say, thank you for the gentleman on the yellow course that assisted my son along with his classmate and believing in themselves and showing them that they could do it. I watch the showman talk to my son about being afraid of the height and that he could do it and provided breathing techniques to assist him. It's nice to know that there are individuals at the establishment that go above and beyond to help out students kids and even adults. I will be back to the establishment to help build more confidence.

As a grandparent picking up my grandson there I would say the teaching staff was always lovely. I…read morewill also say to their detriment is that La Petite is concerned about their money first and foremost . My daughter gave a full time tuition. They made her sign a paper stating when the child would be dropped off/ picked up even though her work schedule was variable weekly ... and they knew that. If she arrived later than the time they made her state then they wouldn't allowy grandson to attend that day.,. Even though they received full time tuition. I quickly leadned that they did that to observe only necessary teacher - student ratios to pay the least hourly teacher wages possible. Also, many times at the end of the day, your child would be in another classroom because they had already sent your child's classroom teacher home and put them with another teacher until uou arrived .... Also to save them money. Management seems nice but is not transparent at ALL. Be wary. Get what you pay for and be sure to ask about full time tuition and open hours . Bonus : They also like to send kids home for any health reason they can imagine.

I can honestly say that I am beyond grateful for the family we have found at La Petite. The staff and teachers care. They love my daughter, they nurture her, they are shaping her to be a wonderful human during some of the most important developmental years of her life. It brings me joy to know that when she's not with me I can rest assured that she is still being loved and cared for by people who want to see her be happy and succeed in life. This place is an extension of home. I will be forever in their debt for helping me raise such a great kid.

My toddler loves that there are three separate feeding areas - two goats and one tortoise area. We have not gone on the safari ride, so we haven't seen those animals yet, but the rest of the zoo seems well kept. The staff is always very friendly! Maybe my only complaint is I wish they had an actual bathroom at the back end of the preserve and a little bit better food options.

For what we paid I'm not sure it was worth it but hopefully it goes towards the sanctuary. The space felt old and outdated. There was one indoor bathroom right by the exit and gift shop that was small and again outdated. The rest of the park was portapottys which were clean but in a hot day like today... it's still a portapotty. It was a large space and we spent about 3 hours inside. A variety of birds, snakes, tortoise, As well as sloth, zebra, lion, bison, goat, geese, swan, and fish. The highlight for the kids was the koi feeding experience. Those fish were jumping like crazy and got my kids wet which they enjoyed. There were several places to sit and eat. We brought lunch in. They had free water and snacks to purchase. There was also a safari which we did not do. Overall my kids liked it but I think it needs some TLC.
