My nephew attended this day care. The administrative staff was not able to control their…read moreemployees. I know the word "control" sounds strange, but this is the word the administrator used when my nephew was drinking one of the employees hot coffee that continued to be placed on the children's table in the 2 year olds classroom. She stated she told the employees to keep their coffee out of the childrens reach, but they were not doing it. My neice had this conversation only after CPS contacted her because another parent reported her son and a list of other children drinking coffee, in addition to many other issues. This is a terrible environment for children who can not speak for themselves. Before enrolling your child, please contact the Fort Wayne CPS office for a list of complaints. I am shocked they are still in business!

La Petite brought in an AMAZING new director, Ms. Tunisia, in 2023 who has completely transformed…read morethe school. She hired and nurtured teachers who understand the importance of consistency and structured learning. She also listens to parents and helps build an environment that fits the needs of your kids (we had a rough patch, and she, along with the teachers helped us through it!). If you want a preschool where your children are engaged, learning, happy, and excited to go to school every day, La Petite is the place to be! With these changes, my daughter has come out of her shell, and is excited to tell me about what she's learning in Ms. Sammi's class (also, my daughter's convinced Ms. Sammi's a princess and I have no reason to disagree!). The "new" La Petite is very much worth a visit!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more This was our first foray into day care and my worst fears about being a working parent happened. From the get go things seemed fine, the Director was communicative and the virtual tour was fine. However, day one was horrendous. The center is not new which is fine, the workers are varying levels of engaged. Cleanliness is questionable... Concerns noted for some cooking equipment that was being blocked by a cart, chemicals in reach of kids, but then watching the cameras: the way they workers are swapped out and inconsistent treatment of children. My maternal senses knew something was off by the way my children were acting. Husband picked up our little guy who was off camera in a bathroom with a staff member. Son was screaming in pain. Came home to find markings on his back. Daughter had witnessed mistreatment (also advocated for her own mistreatment!) Case filed, did not return. Be aware.

There is usually no parking at all and if the adjacent park is closed for the season I have no idea where you are suppose to put your car. This is the one major downside of this location. The facility themselves are quite clean albiet crowded at times on the weekend. There isn't too many places to sit down and wait for your kids to finish class. The pool itself is also smaller than other pools we have been to at other YMCA in Illinois. Overall I am happy we have not gotten a YMCA membership as it is not cheap and I can only imagine how it continues to be very crowded during the course of the week.

So far this is my favorite Fort Wayne Y location. I know its a work out facility but if their goal…read moreis to make it more family orientated, I think this locations doing a great job. You see more families involved here in activities and having fun. Truthfully, I like coming here the most because of the kids section thats located in the center, I love seeing kids active and having fun rather than plugged into a video game or something. Haven't tried the new outdoor pool yet, but hope to make it before the summer is over.

The staff not only have strict state guidelines to follow but they also love the kids as their own. There are opportunities for extracurriculars as well such as soccer shots that will come on site and librarians that will come and read to them. They have free open houses with fun activities for the kids as well. The kids learn so many social skills along with the essentials for starting school. I even had comments from my daughter's teacher when she started kindergarten that she was extremely prepared for kindergarten. Could not recommend Kiddie Academy more! Both the north and southwest sites are where you want to send your kids for daycare no question!
