I personally love the school being a first time mother it was scared of putting my daughter in school. But the teachers and directors are so nice and they communicate so well. I also love the Sproutabout app. I feel safe having my child at that school.
We love La Petite! All the teachers are kind and genuinely care about our baby. I recommend it to anyone looking for care in the area. We love the communication and pictures we get each day!
We are very happy with the center. Our son has advanced so much since starting in August. The director is very transparent and communicative. The teachers are excellent! I am amazed with how they are able to keep all the kids focused.
We absolutely love it here!!
