I’ve been extremely happy in the school. The fun activities, learning experiences, and the love and care they get are the best.
Enrolled Family
We have had a great experience thus far. Everyone communicates with us and knows every child by name, which is wonderful. The staff truly cares about each child.
Enrolled Family
I’ve enjoyed the time our child has been there! It’s nice to have a partnership with the people who are with your kid during a large part of their lives!
Enrolled Family
We've loved being part of the La Petite family. The director, Shannon, is wonderful. Always ready to answer questions and keep us informed. Our daughter's teachers are kind and helpful. When we bring our older daughter in, her former teachers always say hi to her and ask her how she is doing. It's wonderful that they remember her from when she attended the school. Thank you!

Enrolled Family
I have never had a single moment of concern during my child's 2 years at La Petite. Every teacher I interact with, including the Director, know my child, know me, and always offer warm and sincere greetings. Every time I pick my daughter up from La Petite she is happy, engaged, and often doesn't want to leave. As we walk out of the building, every teacher says bye to my daughter and she smiles and
...
says bye back. Getting updates throughout the day through the BrightWheel app has been wonderful - it makes my day to see pictures and videos of my little girl playing with friends, learning about shapes, or whatever other activities the teachers have the kids doing. I could not be more pleased with the level of service we're received while our child has been enrolled at La Petite, not to mention the top notch facilities, easy and convenient online payment system, and frequent communication we get via the BrightWheel app and in person. We're expecting another child in a few months - and he/she will absolutely be attending La Petite!
