My Grandson goes to La Petite and they are amazing with him! He loves playing with all his friends and doing cute school activities. They give very detailed reports about what he does throughout the day and even what he eats. I also love that you can check in and see your baby with the video cameras whenever you want. Wonderful and loving staff! Would highly recommend!!!

I have nothing but great things to say about La petite academy. My daughter has been going there since she was 2 months old. She has grown and learned so much there. She loves going to school and loves all her instructors.

My child started on a Monday and I had to withdraw her two days later. I watched the cameras you'd be surprised at what you find. I witnessed on camera a teacher smack the table in front of a child's face to get his attention. The teacher was aggressive with my daughter by forcing her to sit down. The last straw was when the children were getting ready for nap time my daughter laid down on her cot and the teacher threw her blanket over her face. From the moment my husband and I walked in I felt like my child was a burden to them and they didn't show any type of welcoming signs. They sell you a dream but in all reality, your child is just another source of income. Parents go with your intuition if it doesn't feel right run the other way.

My granddaughter was in the three-year-old class with Abigail Wolff. When I met her, she seemed very offputting and acted as if she just didnt want to be there. Later that day, I viewed the cameras in the classroom. I saw my granddaughter, crying and trying to get her attention. Abigail continue to ignore her. Finally, my granddaughter walked up to Abigail, on her left side facing her, crying. Abigail picked my granddaughter up forcefully by her two little arms and pivoted her little body to the front of her and put her to the ground. At that point, she pushed her away from her, obviously annoyed. My granddaughter then walked backwards away from the teacher and cowered in the corner, crying. She would not take her eyes off of the teacher out of fear, I could see it in her eyes and her demeanor. when this was brought to the attention of the Director, the only thing that happened to Abigail was that she had to be retrained, but she will continue to be in the classroom while shes getting this training. This is completely unacceptable. After that, my granddaughter was moved to another teachers room, but because of her experience, she refused to eat, and peed her pants every day for the several days she was in the new teachers class. At that point her parents took her out of the school. My daughter has asked repeatedly to see the video and they continue to put her off. To date, she still has not been given the chance to view the video. Nor has the teacher apologized to my granddaughter or her parents, as we were told she would. DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE.
