Great, staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. My child loves her teachers and classmates and is excited to see them each morning. She is learning so much as well. The director and assistant director are very hands on and approachable. We love our school and are happy we have such a welcoming and safe place for our child to go each day.

I moved my son from another daycare to this facility because I did not feel he was being challenged. He has only been at La Petite for 2 months and he loves it.
