But seriously: I did a tours for my 3 year old daughter at many different preschools and this one stood out as the best one by a long shot! As soon as you walk inside, everyone greets you in a calm, caring, and JOYFUL manner. My daughter is shy and refuses to speak to new adults a lot of the time and even she opened up immediately when we toured here. I completely trust that this preschool will be the perfect fit for my daughter and my daughter seems to agree- she cried when she had to leave!

This will be our 3rd year as a family at the Co-op and I can't recommend it more for not only your…read morekiddo, but also the community that comes with it. It is so nice to get together with like-minded parents that just want a place where their kids can play and explore. You yourself get a chance to be in the classroom and help out, play and see all of your kids' friends interact. Soon you will be getting your feet in the sand yard, going to parent meetings where the teachers will give you tips on how to calm your child during a meltdown, and you will talk to other parents and see that you're not alone. Some examples of community that I can think of during our time are the parent meetings, potluck events, a camping trip, and events at school where everyone is welcome for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. When we had our second child, and EECP knew we were finally home, we got a few gifts delivered for our new baby, but also a couple of big brother gifts and books from the school. When I'm at work and I get some photos sent to our parent group message board of what the kids are doing that day, it makes you wish you were at school that day instead of sitting behind a desk. Those are the times I know that we got lucky to find the EECP and other involved parents and teachers. One other thing I remembered that I enjoy is the stuff that our kiddo brings home. It is not just paintings that will soon be on your fridge or decorated shoe boxes, but also stories and music. Our 3-year-old would come home from school and teach me about Mardi Gras. He insisted on Mardi Gras songs being played in our home. He enjoyed dancing and marching and was explaining how parades worked, as if I had no idea what one was. It was so much fun to finally go to school and see all the kids parade around in fun costumes and carry around little decorated shoe boxes they made in class. This is just one of the events that we've loved as a family and now as a community.

So far very pleased with our 2-year old son's transition from an in-home daycare to La Petite! Miss Taylor, Mrs. Nora and Ms. Durdana are amazing!! I love the updates that are sent to parents throughout the day - knowing my son is so loved and cared for helps ease my heart while I'm at work. When we first started going, he would cry a lot during drop-off, so one of his teachers would always come up and help him adjust or get him involved in a fun activity or snack. I would watch on their TVs in the lobby how our son would go from tears to laughter in a matter of minutes. We're so grateful for the ways that the La Petite teachers have gone the extra mile for our son.

Being a first time mom navigating daycare is scary but Kelley, Tricia, and her teacher Heather all make it so easy. The Brightwheel app they use is amazing!! They will update you with pictures, fun activities, meals, diapers, naps, etc. Miss Amy, Miss Missy, and Miss Nora all spend time in the infant room as well and they each love these babies like they are their own. Someone told me "you know you found a great daycare when your child gets excited to see their teacher every day". From the moment we walk in Carly is all smiles for her teachers and we are so thankful for them!

Unfortunately, we are very disappointed with our experience at TLE. First of all - there were…read moreongoing billing errors in which I was told the last time I called that I'd get a call back from Heather that same day, and it's now been over a week with no call back and no resolution. Additionally, they charge extra for "early drop off" yet there is only 1 teacher there from 6:30-8 AM for ALL ages combined. That's ridiculous and total chaos! There was also a day (the last day) in which I picked my daughter up, and her diaper was soaking wet and so heavy, indicating it hadn't been changed for several hrs, yet their website proclaims they change every 2 hrs? When I returned that same evening to turn in my withdrawal form, I asked when the last time was that she had her diaper changed. One of the assistants went to check with her teacher. I was told that they were getting ready to change her right as I picked her up. How convenient! Before starting daycare with this place, we are required to fill out several forms that ask questions about child's routine, etc. My daughter doesn't usually eat lunch until noon, yet they serve it at 11. I noticed on the bubble and friends app that they kept documenting that my daughter "wasnt interested" in lunch. I called and asked "so if my daughter doesn't eat lunch when it's served, is that just tough luck and they don't try to give it to her again around noon?" I was told "yeah basically, but they do get a snack after their nap around 2:30." I then asked the manager "what's the point of parents filling out these forms then with info regarding my child's routine" and she replies "I really don't know, we've just always had them, I'll have to ask about that." It's like they don't even read over these forms and have no idea how to meet children's individual and unique needs. I felt like my daughter was lost in a sea of faces. The turnover rate for teachers at this school Is less than a year which is also a huge red flag.

We absolutely love Jessica and her attention to education and care! You get a lot for what you pay for! My daughter could count to 100 at 4 years old, write basic letters, basic math, and even her education has an introduction to Spanish, as Jessica is from Peru! The kids will learn English and Spanish phrases for both items on her lesson plans that day. If it's Thanksgiving they'll draw a turkey and learn the animal in Spanish as well, Pabo. They'll also learn colors and sing songs utilizing both Spanish and English versions! Our daughter and son are excelling in school because of this early education! Our kids still ask to go to her house all the time, we still use her care on those random off days from school where we're still working! You will love having your children in her care!

So happy to have found Jessica and her childcare.
