Long but worth reading this mamas review! Now, we have been a part of the La Petite Academy family for almost FIVE years now, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Not NEARLY enough! Ms. Stacy runs a fantastic program, and her leadership really shows in the quality of care provided. Miss Deanna is equally incredible, providing that extra layer of support and management that keeps everything running smoothly. Even when something goes wrong at home before the day at daycare! They’re his driver Ms Michelle is so cautious and cheerful for the kiddos each day for school drop offs. SO convenient right?! What truly sets them apart is their tender hearts, safety and comfort of the children is al Amy’s on top of the list and flexibility! They are incredibly accommodating; as long as you provide notice, La Petite Academy is always willing to work with you and your family's specific needs. It feels like a true partnership in raising our children. Our kids genuinely love their teachers—Miss Taylor is a household favorite!—and they look forward to going every day. After half a decade of experience with them, I can confidently say that if you’re looking for a place where your children will be loved, supported, and truly known, this is it. Truly(: I couldn’t have asked for a better person establishment to help raise our babies♥️ We love La Petite Academy!
Gina HarmsFeb 20, 2026So far so good!! I have confident in the teachers that care for our child in the infant room. He seems so happy there and I can feel the care and interest they have for our child. Communication from the start with the daycare has been great! Looking forward to see how he grows there throughout the upcoming years!
Lisa MalloFeb 13, 2026We ABSOLUTELY ADORE La Petite New Lenox! We moved here in June 2025 when our girls were 2.5 years and the other was 11 months. We were nervous about switching daycares because the girls loved their prior school and we were moving from Kentucky and hadn’t actually toured any New Lenox locations. We were very ill-prepared, but Ms Stacy was SO WARM AND WELCOMING over the phone beforehand, and continues to be a warm presence every day! We have loved ALL of our teachers (we’ve been in the infant classroom and we LOVE Ms Jay and Ms Vianet. We are somewhat new to the toddlers classroom, but we ADORE Ms Kim! And our eldest has been in EPS the whole time and we have absolutely loved Ms Alyssa, Ms Emily, and ALL of the teachers that assist every day. Our experience has been so tremendously positive. I love having access to the Live feed to check on the girls, and the teachers are very responsive over messaging. Our girls come home every day having learned something new. La Petite is great at forming well-rounded children and the kids learn table manners and how to play well with others, amongst SO MANY other skills. Thank you, La Petite!
Mercedes VetterFeb 13, 2026My husband and I have been using LP for the past 3 months with our twins. They were 5 months old when we started. We have loved our experience. Miss Jay and Miss Vianet have been so great with our children. They come home in such a happy and great mood. They eat, nap, and play more at daycare than they even do at home! The communication with teachers and with the administration is so easy and seamless. They answer any questions or concerns we have an address them with ease. Our kids were premature, so we had a lot of concerns, but they have absolutely loved their time!!
Corinne PassarelloFeb 13, 2026I have two kiddos currently enrolled - a 3 year old and a 10 month old, and we love LPA! The Leadership team is great - very responsive and knowledgeable and accommodating to custom requests/needs. But honestly, the teachers are why we give LPA New Lenox location 5 stars. Ms Kim (Toddlers, age 15months to 2 yrs basically), Ms Grace (Two year old classroom), Ms Alyssa (Early Preschool who is currently out finishing her degree), Ms Emily (Early Preschool Lead Teacher), and…Ms Vianet and Ms Jay in the baby/infant classroom…all so so amazing. They’re innovative and creative in their methods to enhance development and classroom based learning, collaborative and transparent with parents, & patient and playful with the kids themselves - it’s very apparent that the teachers truly care about the kids! Would recommend this location to any and all!
Nicole LopezFeb 13, 20263 years and counting! We absolutely love La Petite! As our family has grown we now have 3 attending and one on the way and super excited for our 4th child to start La Petite one day! Their teachers are absolutely amazing and qualified which is most important! It was hard finding a center that didn't have turn over or just anyone employed. I really love that La Petite has taken the time to interview the right candidates and have found amazing teachers who truly love what they do to help mold, educate, and care for my children. Our kids come home daily and are always raving over their day at school, what they have learned, and what fun things they have done. One thing that has kept me apart of La Petite as well is their live cameras that you can view at any time! It's very reassuring and you get to see your children interact with the teacher and other students, being independent without you there which feels so rewarding. I highly recommended all families to enroll their children at La Petite!
