La Petite Academy of Fresno

After many interviews and plenty of time spent we ended up bribing out 3 year old daughter to this place for her daycare/early preschool. From the first time I walked in for their program and school inquiry till the time we brought all the right paperwork and forms SANDRA was polite, kind and very informative. She had all the patience for our questions. She understood how important it was for us to find a right place for our child. She assured us that our little one will never be given any form of meat and will always given healthy choices for her snacks and meals. Suhani has been going there for over two months and they have been just fantastic. Their attention to detail and teaching technics are great. Every day Suhani comes home and says she had a great day with Mrs. Valerie. They even helped her get potty trained and she knows not to use so many toilet paper and to wash your with soap and also use not lot of water. Turn the knob not all the way so we don't waste water. Thank you for giving our daughter great place to be 5 days a week while we work. Thanks for helping us instill great mannerism, respect and politeness. Best place to bring yr child in FRESNO/CLOVIS.

My daughter went here for about 4-5 months before I pulled her from this facility and took her to another one. She was in the toddler room and I had made a couple of requests, nothing out of the ordinary, and my requests were not fulfilled. I brought up my concerns to the director, Monica, whom said she spoke with my daughter's teachers and they flat out lied to her making me look like I was just making things up. You cannot make up a diaper rash that she didn't have when I sent her at the beginning of the day...I would have to walk to the back of the facility, where the toddler room was, and there was a teacher with the older kids, maybe around 4-6 years old, that was constantly yelling at them. Made me realize I didn't want my daughter to have to deal with that teacher when she moved out into that area.I did not feel like the director took my concerns seriously and it was more of a "he said she said" situation. I was never given an apology by the teachers or anything. Needless to say, I pulled her and she is now at a facility that is more professional, cleaner, and is priced correctly for the cleanliness of their facility, the competency of their staff, and their programs. Price is also outrageous for the quality. Only pro to this facility was the app they use to document feedings, diaper changes (which don't always happen on time as they state they should), and any activities coming up.

My babe started in the infant room when he was about 6 months. It was soo hard for us to choose a place, we toured about 6 of them around Fresno and Clovis and La Petite met all of our expectations. They talked with me and cooled my concerns when I would freak out (I had really bad postpartum) and they always reassured me and sent me pictures and updates with the app. I absolutely love the teachers!!! They are soo amazing with my little one and take video or pictures and do arts and crafts and it is just amazing how great they are with all the kids and make them feel so special. I love this place and soo grateful for the women here.

I went there for an interview and I thought the idea is pretty great to have kids interacting with each other and all but I didn't think the place was as clean as it should be for kids... I'll try again in a couple of months to see if they improved Their cleanness otherwise I'll look for someplace else. Bummer not to be able to give 5 stars.

friendly staff, the app is a major plus, and my daughter loves the ladies there. Was apprehensive about day care in general, but I'm glad we sent our kiddo here

My Child went to La petite for a few months. She was in the infant room and we loved it! The teachers were amazing and they always went above and beyond for the babies! The room was super cleaned and my daughter loved going. Once the pandemic hit, my husband and I both started working from home so my daughter stopped going. If it wasn't for the pandemic my daughter would still be there! Their director Monica was always so friendly and she would always addressed any questions or concerns that we had.

My son has been going to LPA since he was about 4 months old, stated in the infant room and is now in the school age class. Feeling comfortable enough to leave my child in the the hands of the staff for 6 years says alot about the school, their program and staff (wonderful). My son was ahead of the game as he entered kindergarten thanks to the dedicated staff.

I do not send my kids to la petite, but I do work across the parking lot and the kids there are constantly crying while the employee just walks around with her clipboard ignoring them. I've been in this neighborhood for one month now and it's everyday. They don't hug the children or comfort them. They just leave the toddlers to handle it themselves. I would want to know that my child is being ignored if I were trusting them to care for my child. When she does speak to the kids it's with an impatient tone. I'd strongly consider looking for a new place to care for your child. I'm here all day and there's always one or two children crying while it goes ignored. Toddlers need comfort and security during difficult moments. They shouldn't be left to handle it themselves.

I started La Petite in the infant room at 6 months. I was beyond happy with the teachers and love for the children. However, the toddler room was different. I had to quit and pull my child right away. I was hoping to stay there until they could be with Tiff, but I needed to make sure she was growing from the program instead being fearful.

My child attended La Petite Academy when my wife went back to work and we were so happy with everything about it. Denise who is the head of the school is so caring and I really felt like she treated my son like one of her own children. The teachers were all really great too.
