I don’t have a bad thing to say about this center. Teyha is an absolute gem. They have welcomed our family in like we’re their own. Our son gets the care he deserves that’s all I can ask for.

We have been so happy for the opportunities provided to our son as he learns and grows at school while we are at work during the day. The pictures the staff provided of the fun he’s having each day mean so much to us.

My daughter has been going to La Petite for about 7 months now. The staff is absolutely amazing and so caring! My daughter has learned so much from her teachers, and I love getting multiple updates daily about how/what she is doing. The staff is very welcoming and open to talk about every milestone your child is at. Hands down best childcare my daughter has been to!

Very happy with my decision. Melissa and Tahya are amazing and everyone of the caretakers there are just the best. My son loves it there and I can tell they genuinely love him.
Enrolled Family
Everyone here is warm and welcoming. I feel very comfortable with my daughter being under their care while I am at work. Jennifer the director has been extremely accommodating for our family and sometimes my changing schedule. I am always greeted by a warm hello when dropping her off and in the afternoon a caring good bye. Thank you for taking care of my baby girl.
