  • We have felt great about bringing our four month old (now 6 months!) here for infant daycare. The staff is skilled with infant care and our baby has learned so many new skills during his time with them. We especially love how well they keep us updated throughout the day. We have found the staff flexible and kind with every interaction. School leadership are communicative, highly recommended La Petite if you are looking for childcare in Santa Fe.

  • I have no complaints! I was nervous when starting my daughter here in the fall because I saw some reviews from past years that were really bad. But the school director has been replaced and she was able to share with me how she’s addressed some of the previous challenges. I haven’t seen anything that the previous reviews mentioned, and I’m so happy to have my daughter in such a good environment. She loves her teachers. She talks about Ms. Annie all the time at home, including asking me to pat her back at night like Ms. Annie does at nap time. They eat healthy food and snacks, have clear routines, and engaging activities inside and time outside every day. Ms. Alexandra is warm and loving but also has very clear boundaries and confidently holds kids to her standards of behavior. All the adults in the building know my daughter by name and greet her with a smile every day. This is my daughter’s first experience in a formal school setting, and she’s a really sensitive and quirky kid, but I can confidently say she is thriving in the 3 year old classroom. I’m very grateful to the school staff and teachers!

  • I was a little skeptical at first sending my kids there because some of the reviews weren’t that great but decided to give it a try and I’m glad I did…. My kids enjoy going there, staff is friendly and caring. I appreciate all they do for the kiddos.

  • DO NOT send your babies here. It is not a safe place for children. The adults here all the way from teacher assistants to the district manager willingly choose to not protect the children and turn a blind eye to ABUSE AND NEGLECT. I pulled my daughter out of the toddler classroom because she was slammed into her cot and pinned down by her teacher- all of which was caught on camera. This same pathetic excuse for a teacher also didn’t clean the changing table in between diaper changes and didn’t change her gloves for every child. Again all caught on camera. My daughter had an ongoing rash the entire time she was enrolled here. DISGUSTING. Management was well aware of all these issues and more yet they continue to allow this dangerous individual to care for children. This teacher was never even placed on disciplinary leave because the director and district manager SUCK at their jobs. Management slacked off during the internal investigation and made empty promises because they were more concerned with keeping as many teachers on the clock as possible so they can accept more children into the center per day to ultimately make more money. It’s all about money and not the children’s wellbeing.
