  • My daughter started at La Petite when she was 4 months old and she is now 5 years old. We now have 2 other sons there as well. We have had amazing care and connections the entire 5 years we have been there. The teachers go above and beyond to make sure the kids feel loved, safe, and valued. Ms. Annette has taken wonderful care of all 3 of my children. We have been so lucky to have her! My son would practically jump into Ms. Peyton’s arms. While it’s always difficult to drop off your baby, this team of teachers have always made it easier by posting updates and pictures. He is now moving up to the next room and both Ms. Megan’s have made it a smooth process! They are always doing fun projects in the toddler room! My daughter has learned so much in her Junior-K classroom and hangs onto every word Ms. Samantha says. She has the best birthday celebrations for the students in her class! Mr. Rob taught my daughter so much in Pre-K. Whenever you walk by his room, all the kids are laughing and giggling having the best time. My son absolutely adores his toddler teachers Ms. Amy and Ms. Kayla, often talking about them at home. He sometimes has a hard time transitioning in the mornings and both teachers jump in to help ease him in and set him up for success. We are always greeted by Ms. Dana and Ms. Ashley each morning and it sets the tone for the day. All of the teachers at La Petite are warm and caring and know every students names, not just ones in their own rooms. Ms. Alex even gave every single student a Valentine’s goodie bag. We truly are so lucky to have such an amazing team teaching and supporting our children. They have watched my family grow and been a huge part of their lives and learning. The cameras are an added bonus and I love watching my kids engage with the teachers and the activities.

  • Miss Samantha is an exceptional Junior K teacher, and we feel incredibly grateful that our child is in her class. She truly cares about every student and puts so much effort into making sure each child feels supported, encouraged, and excited to learn. Our child often comes home talking about Miss Samantha and clearly enjoys being in her classroom. She creates such a positive and nurturing environment, and it’s clear she is deeply dedicated to her students. Teachers like her make a lasting impact, and we are so thankful for everything she does.

  • My son has attended Daycare here since he was 3 months old and has just turned 1. He is in the infant room with Ms. Annette and Ms. Payton whom he adores so much. They have been so supportive to me as a first time mother with everything especially introducing solids since that was very scary for me. Charlie loves it here he goes right to playing with friends at drop off it's adorable. Words cannot express how caring and loving all the teachers are to the children. It really is a joy to see all the smiles, playing and learning the kids are doing. Constant updates and photos of my child brighten my day at work!

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend La Petite Academy! We feel incredibly grateful to have found La Petite Academy for our kids. As a parent, leaving your children somewhere every day requires a lot of trust, and the teachers here truly make that easy. Every teacher has been extraordinary — caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in the children’s development and happiness. You can tell they don’t just see this as a job; they truly care about each child. A special thank you to Mrs. Kayla, Mrs. Samantha, Mrs. Kandice, and Mr. Rob. Each of them brings something unique to the classroom — patience, kindness, structure, and so much positive energy. They create a warm, safe environment where kids feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn every day. What I appreciate the most is how they communicate with parents, celebrate the children’s progress, and treat every child with so much respect and attention. Knowing my kids are surrounded by teachers like this gives me real peace of mind. Thank you, La Petite Academy, for everything you do for our children! ❤️

  • As a new, first-time mom, sending your baby to daycare is one of the hardest things to do. You never quite feel ready. But after our first week, I can honestly say I feel so much more at peace. Ms. Annette and Ms. Payton have been absolutely wonderful. From day one, they’ve been incredibly communicative and responsive providing updates, answering questions, and making sure we feel informed throughout the day. That level of communication has meant everything to us during this transition. It’s still emotional dropping your baby off, but knowing he’s with caring, attentive infant teachers makes such a difference. I truly feel like he’s in good hands, and I’m so thankful for the reassurance and care they’ve shown our family already.

  • My 2 year old attended here briefly as an infant and again as a two year old. The teachers are so caring and helped her at whatever stage she was at. As a first time mom, it was so nice to have a partnership with the infant teachers, who not only had several years of experience with infants in their classroom, but as mothers themselves. They were able to help me better understand all the quick changing stages of an infant. The two year old teachers were so friendly and caring. Drop off was always hard for my daughter but she quickly would get comfortable and engaged in their classroom, I always picked up a smiling child. Thank you LPA!
