La petite has been an excellent center since my daughter first started attending at age 1 (she is 4 now). The staff have been attentive and caring. My daughter is excited to be enrolled in the Pre-K program and loves her teacher!

Enrolled Family
Overall I’m very satisfied. I feel comfortable leaving my child here and I can tell she is comfortable and excited to go to school in the morning. I also like that she gets to go outside and play every day that the weather allows.
Enrolled Family
Overall the experience has been positive. She has had many great and loving teachers.
Enrolled Family
My daughter is 4 and has rarely been cared for by anyone except me or my parents, so starting preschool a few days a week was a big transition for us. The staff and children at LaPetite have been wonderful. Her preschool teacher, Ms. Shawna, has been loving and empathetic toward my anxious daughter and accommodating to her unique quirks. My daughter now sees her teacher as her safe place and loves
...
her dearly, which puts my mind at ease. I love the brightwheel app that tells me what my child does during the day. They also have an open door policy so you can drop in any time and see how your munchkin is doing. I love this school and this comes from someone with trust issues. Thank you all so very much. ❤️

Every day is busy and full of adventure. My husband Doug and I have three sweet boys. Family time is important to me and I am a huge animal lover. The safety and well being of our children at La Petite is most important to me. I have worked here for 17 years and I love watching them grow from infants all the way to graduating Pre-K.
