I had a very upsetting experience with La Petite on Quantum rd in Rio rancho and I am wanting to…read moremake more people aware. The staff has been consistently unprofessional, and when I raised valid concerns about my child's care as well as other children's, they were dismissed as "complaining" rather than being properly investigated. Her daycare contract ended 7/31 and I wasn't notified till 8/6/2025 and was told she couldn't return unless the EECED could issue a contract by 8/8/2025 One of my biggest concerns was that my daughter was mishandled by a teacher, and despite reporting this, the staff member remained employed, and I received no meaningful follow-up. I've witnessed staff yanking children by the arms, yelling in their faces, and slamming and pushing on tables leaving children to cry for hours completely inappropriate and unacceptable behavior around young children. Additionally, there are serious hygiene concerns. They wouldn't change gloves or even wipe down the changing table during changes, My daughter would often come home with rashes, and it was clear that diaper changes were not being done regularly.I also observed a lack of proper sanitary procedures, including throwing food into the trash and then serving the plate to the child, spraying cleaning solution on the table while children are still eating which is deeply troubling. When asked if we could potty train our almost 2 year old I was advised not to by admin as they do not have proper staff and couldn't accommodate as she didn't want to have to hire additional staff. They currently have a high turnover. Staff consistently has their phones out during wake times and nap time. There is no consistent communication between parents and teachers, and safety protocols (such as moving tables while children are seated) are not followed. They don't have no structure and let the kids run wild despite saying they are teaching an age appropriate curriculum based daycare. My daughter has had to be rushed to the ER as they had her foot in a string tourniquet from her sock for hours and didn't check her foot we were told she just could put weight on her foot and was exhausted from crying. We called to check in and Admin wasn't even aware of the situation she was just crying uncontrollably and no staff checked her foot despite not being able to put weight on the foot. On Monday her eyes were swollen and red from crying for over an hour with out consoling or helping her re-regulate. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to anyone

I'm sad my son can't go there anymore because he is going into kindergarten this year and we are definitely going to miss everyone there. I would reccomend this preschool to everyone!

I can't say enough good things about Cottonwood. It is a gem in every way. The teachers are…read moreutterly dedicated to the kids and to providing an exceptional learning experience. The format encourages creativity, independent thinking and problem solving skills, artistic ability, confidence and fun. It is a loving, supportive community of parents, teachers and administrators and the kids thrive there. The students are encouraged to self-motivate, manage their own workload and be self-sufficient, all of which are the skills we all need to be truly successful in life. The school focuses on community service, equality, tolerance, peace, and a global perspective. The teachers teach and talk "up" to the kids (not down). Beyond incredible academics, the kids do the most amazing things, from learning musical instruments and music, to writing their own plays and creating the sets and costumes, to learning about the local eco-system, to learning organic gardening, to learning to give back to the community through multiple events throughout the year (we sponsor families in need during the holidays, recently volunteered as families at a local food bank, and do a food drive in the fall). The kids come away from Cottonwood not only light years ahead of their peers in all academic disciplines, but they also come away with an open-minded, global perspective, the ability to empathize, to control their own actions and reactions to the world, and to be clear and confident about who they are no matter what is going on in the world around them. The buildings are a bit less than stellar (nothing like a fancy school with a big endowment), but I like it that way because the focus in on the quality of the education and of the community, not on status or prestige. That said, the school has a very high percentage of kids that get into the top middle and high schools in the area. If the buildings were fancy, I think it would attract a very different kind of parent. That is why I'm almost afraid to share all of this because it is such a special place - I don't want the secret to get out! :-) We are so lucky that we found this very special school.
