Enrolled Family
The teachers are amazing and truly care about my child. They ensure that she is right on track developmentally, and care about her progress.
Enrolled Family
I love that she doesn’t cry at drop off. They keep the kids active and moving. They read books and do science experiments. I feel she is safe there. The director is level headed and helps resolve problems. She teaches the children how to voice their needs early. My kid is happy and a very well mannered kid and I know it’s because we can trust the school to help us raise her.

My son has Autism. La Petite is very supportive and allows my son’s ABA therapists, SLT, and OT all work together. This is called universal design. Joe now talks because he has therapy and is in the least restrictive environment. My son deserves to be with everyone else. I totally recommend this place.

I had a lot of anxiety going back to work after having our son but I feel so comfortable leaving him with La Petite. The staff goes above and beyond to take care of him and my needs. I could not be happier with them.

I loved this school the moment I walked in. The staff is friendly, caring, and down to earth. They serve things to eat that my kids already like and things that they have never eaten before and ask for at home and they listen to me and work with me about dietary concerns.
