  I used to attend this place's after school day camp at my elementary school when I was younger, and one time we were in the gym and two kids wrapped a long rope jump rope around my neck and started it choke me, and there were plenty of teachers and monitors around and they didn't care at all. When I came home I had really bad rope burns on my neck. And the next day I was called to the principal's office because he wanted to know what happened, and after he saw how bad the rope burns were it started a whole investigation, and the management of la petite said that my family was overreacting that their kid came home with really bad rope burns on his neck. And the management didn't take responsibility for what happened. And after the investigation started the police interviewed other families if they had similar experiences. And because of what happened my elementary school's principal basically told la petite that he didn't want their after school program at his school anymore. Don't let your child attend this place.

  My two children love going here. They are learning so much, provided well rounded meals, and cared for compassionately. The best daycare in my opinion.

  Our kids have gone here 5 years and 2 years respectfully and it's been a great experience overall! My daughter has a rare metabolic disorder and they did a stellar job insuring her dietary restrictions were met as well

  This daycare is such a great daycare! I was concerned and nervous because of the reviews, but went ahead and did it because everyone has different experiences & expectations. Not only are you able to watch your child on cameras 24/7, but they send updates anytime they do anything and pictures! My daughter gets excited to be there and that tells me enough. The workers are amazing!

  I would not recommend that anyone send their kids here. It is not only an environment that is unclean, but this daycare center also has teachers that are negligent and abusive. I saw how a teacher slammed a child’s chair into the table hurting their chest, and pushing another child off of table out of frustration. Mind you these are all children 2 and under. I reported what I saw to the director and she said she would let the teacher know not to let it happen again… and yes she still has her job, and she is probably still harming more children. On top of that.. the director has no emotion or empathy. None whatsoever. Zero people skills. It is actually insane considering that this is a childcare facility. I meant to leave a review awhile ago giving people a warning, but have been busy and forgot to sit down and send awareness to those who may be considering this daycare for childcare services… my advice is DON’T DO IT! This is not good for children or families. If your children are enrolled here my advice would be to look at your child’s class cameras often and observe how they treat them. Some teachers ignore the children and let them fight and some teachers yell in the children’s faces and get physically abusive with the children. If you voice your concerns the teachers will get upset and bothered. They will tell you they are short staffed and overwhelmed as if that makes neglect and/or abuse acceptable.. I’ve heard it all. It is an all around negative environment and unsafe for children. Beware and steer clear!

  I would call the daycare a baby prison camp that received credentials from illiterate authorities! Illinois State officials must reconsider the license provided to this place. I ignored Google reviews and enrolled in my baby girl. They called the first day a discovery day! But what my baby girl found there was her lifetime nightmare! Although the director seemed friendly and caring, the staff were different. The first day I dropped my daughter there, the other teacher didn’t welcome us! The lead teacher, Lucie, was friendly and caring! I think the norm is that for the first-day arrivals, a baby should receive more attention. However, my baby girl cried for 4 hours, and I saw on the camera sometimes Lucie hugged her and held her! The other lady in the room tried to ignore her entirely! Lunchtime at the daycare they reminded me of the prison camp I watched in the movies. The difference was that babies weren't in the line! I will write to all authorities in the state and in the US to see who is ready to trust the daycare and let their baby cry and beg for a hug for 4 hours! The daycare is messy, unorganized, and dirty, and all you see is a factory of hate handling a job for their bills! There is no love and care in this place as I saw how cruel they are to let a baby girl cry 4 hours in the corner! This daycare must be closed immediately, and I will do everything to see that moment. I hope you have the same nightmare you created for a baby girl whose father trusted you! You will pay for your ignorance and cruelty. Mother nature won't let you walk away with the mess you made, as my daughter couldn't sleep for a whole night! And remember that this happened in the US! Not in anywhere else! Do US officials have any idea what's going on around? Do they enroll their babies in a daycare like this? Or do they have fantastic facilities that taxpayers pay for? A baby mustn't cry for 4 hours without care in superpower America! Unless officials are deaf and blind, who provided the license!
