La Petite Academy on W. 66th Street

We have had a wonderful experience at La Petite Academy! Our daughter started as an 8-week old in Infant 1 and is just getting ready to move up to Infant 2. My top motivation for giving this establishment a 5 star rating is the staff. It is clear to me that each caregiver my daughter encounters at La Petite truly cares for her and genuinely wants the best for her. It is very comforting for me to know that she is in loving and capable hands each and every day. In addition to the high quality care that my daughter receives, she also is able to take part in numerous activities to enhance her development. The staff are very creative, and come up with unique curriculum (even for infant 1!) including the arts (painting), music, social, etc. I also greatly appreciate the organization and structure of each day. The system that La Petite has in place to track individual infant schedules and communicate that information efficiently to the parents (through an app) puts me at ease. I know my daughter will be fed and have her diaper changed at regular, dependable intervals. Overall, I highly recommend La Petite Academy for an exceptional childcare experience!

Both of our boys attend La Petite and we have nothing but great things about the staff, cleanliness, communication, curriculum/development, social activities and overall appreciation for them. They take care of our boys 5 days a week for 40hrs+, which is a lot of trust and comfort you need that your children are well cared for. A++

La Petite has been an amazing place for our children. We have been going here for over 3 years and have been very impressed with the quality of teachers and the director staff is top notch. You can really tell that only good, caring employees are hired at this location. The teachers are so fantastic with the daily classroom work and dedication they show. They do a wonderful job keeping parents up to date on daily activities and providing a fun, safe and educational environment.We feel really good that our kids are going to such a wonderful caring place, having so much fun and learning every day!

I switched my son from an in home daycare to La Petite Academy in March this year. I was very nervous because I wasn't happy with the in home daycare. From day one it was as if a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. The infant room is an amazing place to start your child. I can tell they are so happy when I drop off my son. I find it hard to leave myself everyone is very personable I feel like they are part of our family. I know my son has a great time doing all the arts and crafts he is so happy when I drop him off and pick him up. I am a first time mom and scared to try new foods etc. The teachers are great with feeding him new foods and letting me know what he likes and dislikes.

My daughter has been at this La Petite Academy for 1 year or so. My husband and I are so pleased with the care my daughter gets daily. The entire staff really cares about the kids and it shows because my daughter is happy and learning so much. The director, Tara, is always willing to listen and work with you no matter what you need for schedule. I would recommend this La Petite to anyone looking for child care. I am thankful for all the teachers and staff in this building because they take care of my daughter so well.

This place is fantastic and I can not recommend it enough! I had a really fussy baby and was nervous leaving her with anyone however I eventually had to return to work. The staff immediately made me feel at ease with her care listening to every little detail I had for them before she even started. Our daughter has done very well since day one and it has been the most positive experience for a first time mom. Every day I get a full report of how she did and even get surprised with a text picture on occasion! Now at just 5 months when she hears her teachers say hi in the morning she starts wiggling to get out of her car seat....I take that as the best sign that she is happy! The teachers treat my daughter as their own, and I know my daughter couldn't be in better hands.

My daughter just recently started here in the early preschool program. This La Petite is very well managed with a friendly, helpful, communicative staff and a neat and clean facility. Her teachers have been wonderful helping her transition into the program and making her feel welcome and nurtured. We are very happy with them!
