I can’t imagine my children anywhere else! La Petite Academy is their second home!

My favorite thing about La Petite is when I drop my son off in the morning and his teachers and the other kids shout his name and seems genuinely happy to see him. It makes me feel so good that he is welcomed so warmly in the mornings. Also, I love getting updates or hearing stories about his day when I come pick him up.

This is a wonderful academy for babies. My son is blossoming, coming home and demonstrating things he has picked up from daycare. I'm so thrilled and excited to have found a safe place to take my child everyday.

We are very happy with the level of care our child receives. She obviously loves her teachers and we are comfortable leaving her in their care each day. This is as close to an ideal school situation as we can find.
