It…read moreinvolved several trips, increasingly more information required, contradictory directions and I am still not a member. I felt offended and disrespected. Poor management, poor membership practice, poor communication, poor business practice. BTW, by still refusing to put up the tennis court cover management has saved $80,000 and will save another $40,000 this winter. But they evidently can't afford the very inexpensive numbers to properly number the tennis courts. The tennis courts are the most poorly numbered courts in NorCal. Poor numbering causes inconvenience and confusion for the members, guests, USTA competitors and USTA officials. Management also refuses to buy proper modern inexpensive rainwater removal equipment. Even many public courts are more up to date than DH. The management decision to not allow outside players to participate in USTA teams is wrongheaded. This is poor for business, hard on captains and deprives members from regularly enjoying participating on competitive teams. Management does not properly support the excellent tennis director, coaches and players. The front desk, maintenance, cleaning staff and coaches are excellent.

One thing that's a small downfall for me is that, my daughter has been coming here since October 2022 and there hasn't been anything to look forward to; performance, competition, nothing that I can invite family to come see. I understand that there's levels to this and maybe just the older kids get to participate in that, but hoping there's something to look forward to so my daughter (and the kids in her class) can show off what they've been practicing.

There are options for different age groups, so you can get something developmentally appropriate for your kids. Also, the prices are amazing! Saturdays (during the farmer's market) are especially good for visiting the store, as there aren't classes going then, but you can stop in whenever!

My Honest Review of La Petite Academy (April 2024 - Present)…read more My son has been enrolled at La Petite Academy since April 8, 2024, starting in the two-year-old classroom with Miss Sarah (lead teacher) and Miss Aaliyah (associate teacher). As a first-time parent, I spent a minimum of two hours daily in his classroom during the first six months learning, observing, and building trust. Miss Sarah was an intentional and passionate teacher. Her curriculum was thoughtful, and the children responded positively to her. Miss Kim, another seasoned educator in the room, also had a calming, nurturing effect on the children. Unfortunately, after just a few months, Miss Sarah resigned, telling me directly that she had repeatedly asked the director, Miss Lorna (who's been there 20+ years), for basic materials but received no support. Miss Lorna made excuses, including blaming "porch pirates" for missing supplies. I even suggested Amazon lockers, but nothing changed. Without enough toys or learning tools, chaos broke out. Children fought over the few items available, especially in the twos classroom. I overheard Miss Chloe, the 3's teacher, say it felt like "The Hunger Games" in there--a disturbing but unfortunately accurate description. Two-year-olds don't understand sharing yet; they need structure, redirection, and materials none of which were consistently provided. The school has been severely understaffed since 2024. "Floaters" like Miss Nadira, though credentialed, mostly change diapers and shout at children ("Go sit down!") instead of providing constructive redirection. I've witnessed multiple instances where teachers lacked basic understanding of early childhood development, especially in social and emotional domains. One teacher, Miss Ariana, even said aloud in front of children and me, "Ugh, I hate being in here." When I reported it, no follow-up was communicated. Ariana eventually left, (not because of that particular incident) like many others. Ratios are often maxed out--or over. I was told the ratio is 12:1, but I've personally counted 13 or 14 children per adult at times. Poor Crisis Management and No Real Training The school tends to call parents instead of handling challenges. For example, YESTERDAY May 2, 2025 I dropped my son off at 9:13 AM. By 9:34 AM, I was being told to get him (I was in the 2's classroom at the moment) because he took a ball (brought by another child--against school policy) and threw it. When I asked if he was offered an alternative toy, the teacher said no. There were 12 kids and just one ball--of course there was conflict! They're three! They need consistent, modeled behavior and repetition, not punishment. My Education Changed My Perspective In January 2025, I enrolled at Los Medanos College (LMC) to pursue early childhood education. Through courses like Principles and Practices, Introduction to Curriculum, and Child Development, I've learned what quality childcare should look like, and sadly, La Petite isn't meeting those standards. I finished my first semester with a GPA of 3.50 and STRONG positive feedback from all my professors. When I asked about the school's teaching philosophy, I was told it was STEM-based. I have yet to see any meaningful implementation of STEM learning no sensory tables, no interactive stations, no science or math play except for one butterfly project, which I personally initiated for my class assignments. Only then did the school bring in live caterpillars. Basic Needs Aren't Met There are often missing or incorrect diaper sizes, leading to rashes. Toys are broken, chewed up, or missing altogether. There is no quiet space for children to calm down. One child who had just transitioned from the infant room couldn't stop crying, and when the infant teacher suggested picking him up, the twos teacher replied, "Absolutely not." That alone speaks volumes about the emotional disconnect and lack of training. I've reached out to Rosa Silva Tichauer who is the District Manager. I've brought up different situations and circumstances with NO feedback or real changes! Final Straw During midterms at LMC, I dropped my son off at 9:30 AM. By 9:50, I was getting a call to come pick him up. Instead of support and guidance, the default was removal. I had a heart-to-heart with Miss Lorna that day. With both of us teary-eyed, she looked me in the face and said, "La Petite is a for-profit company." That explained a lot. They always remember to collect payments, but not to meet children's developmental needs. Final Thoughts I stayed as long as I did hoping things would improve--and because I was present so often. But after a full year, I've realized this center lacks the foundation and leadership needed to nurture young children. If you're considering La Petite for your toddler, I urge you to visit in person and take a DEEP DEEP LOOK, ask questions, observe the environment, and trust your gut. LOOK ELSEWHERE
