Parent Reviews of La Petite Academy on Jonestown Rd

Families trust us to care for, nurture, and support their children during these important early years. Let them tell you why.

Enrolled Family

Leah, Jaime and Ms. Daisy along with all the teachers are the reason we are here and continue to stay here. A friendly Good Morning and See you tomorrow each day. They truly care about my children and know that we are partners in helping to raise my kids. I appreciate that they are willing to step in and help teach my children when I am not there. School has been great for both of my kids because of the love and care each one of these teachers (and Directors) puts in every day. Early Education is not easy and YOU ARE ALL SAINTS for choosing this field. Thank you for what you do everyday, you are making a difference and I am so grateful for all of you. Leah has had my son since he was 12 weeks old (he is 4.5 now and we added my 18-month-old daughter) and we chose to follow her when we were looking for a new school--that should tell you what kind of loyalty & trust she builds with her families. Daisy & Jaime are essential to that team and round out a great directorship team--they are SIMPLY the best!
