I love how much this particular school involves the parents in activities, whether it’s muffins with mom, art shows or parents night out. I love getting the opportunity to be apart of it. I love seeing the work my kids do displayed on the wall. And I especially appreciate the time and effort each teacher takes with my children

We love La Petit and especially his current teacher! She has brought our shy boy out of his shell and he adores her. She makes learning fun and engaging, I am consistently surprised with how creative she is with new lessons. She fosters confidence and independence. We are so lucky she was his first educator and La Petit was his first place outside of home to learn!
