I love that it is an actual immersion class instead of the teacher translating words. My daughter understands Spanish but wasn't speaking it prior to the class, except for words here and there. The teacher actually got her to speak sentences in class. I was very impressed. My only critique is that I wish there were more times available that would fit our schedule and that summer camp would go all day instead of half day.

Do not send your child here. We attended this daycare with our daughter from Oct 2022-August 2023…read more All positive reviews are prior to the new owner. The new owner only cares about the money and if you bring any issues/concerns up to her, you become the problem and are treated in a very hostile manner. Every month there was an additional fee for "catering" or "misc." we never once paid the agreed upon rate and we're constantly up charged for expenses which were never disclosed to us. During our time we watched all of our daughter's infant teachers leave, her two toddler teachers quit and multiple other teachers left as well. The new staff she has hired are constantly on their phones and are unfriendly to parents and the students. We witnessed a child left outside unattended and no report was ever filed as well as teachers yelling at older students. Our daughter and 2 other girls all started saying "hurt" and referencing their private parts. Do not under any circumstance send your child here if you care about their health and safety.

They allowed me to shift the days he's watched when they are closed for the day (for holidays and such). They provide daily reports on his eating, what he did and his mood. It provides insight for his mother and I to know how long his nap was that day, how much did he eat, etc. Kim and crew do wonderful. My son enjoys going there and has grown socially as a result. If pressed for a con of this place, I would say the food they eat isn't the best. They do follow state recommended standards but it does tend to be sugary and not the best stuff for kids. For 1 meal a day, I'm not that concerned. It's much more important to me to know that they care for their kids and take good care of them. And here they do just that.

It is truly with a heavy heart that I made the decision to remove my son from La Petite Academy…read morethis past week. Our journey with La Petite began when my son was 2 years old, and for a long time, it was an overwhelmingly positive experience. His early teachers were nurturing, attentive, and deeply invested in the children in their care. They valued their classroom, respected each child as an individual, and communicated with parents professionally and thoughtfully. At no point did we ever feel that a child was being singled out or labeled. What occurred in the classroom was almost always shared in a positive light, and if a behavior needed to be discussed, it was presented in a calm, constructive way and only when necessary. Many age-appropriate behaviors were handled within the classroom without ever being made into a problem, which showed a true understanding of child development. After my son was potty trained and turned 3, he transitioned into Preschool, where he again thrived under a teacher who took the time to understand each child individually. These children are learning who they are, how emotions work, and how to interact with others. Kids feed off one another. That is normal in any school setting. My son had moments when he followed peers who were less regulated, but his teacher never once made me feel as though my child was a problem. Instead, she partnered with me, explaining how she was supporting him at his level of frustration and development. There was constant reassurance that no child is the same, and that guidance looks different for each one. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of the school's immediate control, that teacher resigned. Turnover is a reality in education, especially given how undervalued and underpaid teachers are. The assistant teacher who had been working alongside her stepped into the lead role and continued to provide a calm, reassuring presence. My son was not perfect. No child is. But she guided him firmly without being harsh or demeaning. She had a unique ability to create a calm environment, especially during nap time, and my son felt safe with her. That sense of safety matters more than children can articulate at that age. The real shift occurred when my son transitioned to Pre K. His original Pre K teacher was extraordinary. Someone who led with heart, grace, patience, and understanding. She believed that no child is bad, only children having moments of frustration. She communicated behavior concerns clearly, compassionately, and sincerely, always making it evident that she genuinely cared. Her goal was to create a classroom where children felt safe, supported, and never afraid of being ashamed, publicly called out, or intimidated. She was eventually recognized as Teacher of the Year and deservedly so. Around October and November of last year, a new assistant teacher was brought into the classroom to work under her guidance. This was meant to be a transition period where she would learn the classroom routines, the children's personalities, and appropriate behavior strategies. It was during this time that I first noticed a stark difference in how this assistant teacher interacted with the children, particularly my son, who is highly energetic and expressive. Because La Petite provides camera access, one of the reasons many parents choose this center, I observed an incident during the first or second week of November where the assistant teacher physically pushed my son down into his chair, placing a hand on his shoulder and forcing him to sit. That same day, I reported what I saw to the director, as no teacher should place hands on a child in that manner. I was told it was addressed, and trusting the process, I moved forward believing my concern had been handled. Since I am only allows a certain amount of characters I needed to create images of the rest of my review - see attached to read further
