My family and I were new to the area and I submitted interest in La Petite of Oak Ridge for our…read moredaughter. We recieved a call back and were told they had availability, and they scheduled a visit with us. The visit was confirmed, so my husband brought my daughter to check it out. Upon arrival, the director was not there. They waited and waited but unfortunately the director never came. With that said, the office lady jumped in and offered a packet, but could not offer pricing or much info (main reason we went was to have an understanding of pricing). So I emailed the director and mentioned we unfortunately didn't meet her but I was hoping to get more information on pricing. She responded stating they have not availability and to let her know if we would like to go on the waiting list. This felt a bit cold, as I was initially told the week before there was space, and I didn't even receive sympathy for missing the appointment. Seems to be lack of communication amongst the team, and we did not have a good experience TRYING to get more information on the program. With that said, we will be looking elsewhere for daycare options.

The staff doesn't seem to connect with the children well, and aren't always very pleasing to be around. Communication is a lack there of, it was always difficult to get information out of the staff if there were "incidents" that happened at the daycare. It doesn't matter to them how long your child as been there if they are "too much to handle" they will not be afraid to let your child go. Although, your child has been there since they were 6 months old. There are better places in the area to take your children. NOT HERE.

Terrible place to trust with your children. Extreme lack of accountability, leadership, staff…read moretraining, and the list goes on. Months later we are still dealing with issues from the emotional trauma our child was exposed to here. After providing video proof of excessive discipline that goes against TN Department of Human Services guidelines, an investigation was opened which you can view on the TN DHS website by searching for this facility. I wouldn't trust these people with a potted plant.
