La Petite Academy on S. Post Road

We love La Petite! My son is in the infant room and they are very communicative about everything. They have an amazing app that lets me know when he eats, has his diaper changed, or if they need to change his diaper. They even send me pictures and videos through it. For a first time mom, this is huge! I love being able to check in and see what he's been doing before I go to pick him up. They are very willing to work with non traditional things, like cloth diapers. They let me know about any questions or concerns that they have in regards to anything. I always know what's going on and who is in the room with him.

If I could give negative stars, I would. I've had nonstop problems since they changed directors. My 4 year old came home with a scratch on his arm, no incident report. I asked him what happened and he said his teacher scratched him. I called the director and she said she would investigate. The next day, they said his arm got stuck between two poles on a swing set. Said there was a screw sticking out and he got scratched. My son told me that never happened. He said he wasn't in line when he was supposed to be and his teacher grabbed him by the arm and put him in line. I told them I wanted the investigation to go further and I wanted him placed in a different class until everything was resolved. Since then, they have hit me with multiple fees, my oldest son has been in trouble more than usual, he's cried because he says they're not telling the full story. Not to mention, my son still says goodbye to the teacher who scratched him and she completely ignores him every time. This place is ridiculous. I would not recommend it to anyone. There's no communication, the directors never know what is going on with any kind of documentation. My sons have lost multiple jackets/sweaters and none of them know where they are. I went to pick my sons up one day and my younest's teacher didn't know where he was. I went around the whole daycare and couldn't find him, he was in the corner, playing in the sink. My 4 year old was clearly not being supervised. Like I said, nonstop problems. This isn't even half of them.

my son has been at this daycare since he was 6 months old and now the last to months he is supposedly a safety hazard and won't let him attend but still sure make me pay the full copay amount for the month. we used to love this school now they are just picking on him to get him to not be there anymore. so disappointed on how this school has turned out.

if I could give it a -10 horrible place for kids, the only time you need to take your kids there is if you do not care how they are doing or what they are doing all day. They are not structured at all, my child would come home i dirty they are always facing away from the children or on the tablets. i was promised a very structured environment i gave suggestion but because they never had enough staff they were not able to do anything for the kids other then let them run wild.

My grandson went to this daycare and one of the best things that happened was my daughter pulling him out. I picked him up on a regular basic and mentioned numerous times how they were out of child ratio. He would be picked up with a scratch or bruise and of course no-one knew how he got it or even told my daughter how it happened!! His teacher thought it would be nice of her to call him a cry baby to there employees, then the director wanted to move my grandchild back to a class he had outgrown due to his teacher having an issue with him and not doing her job!!! Ok it is your job as a child care provider to comfort a child and stay off your phone. There was numerous times I would walk in and there would be kids sitting in the front receptionist area against the wall with no adult supervision then someone would walk up there when I would go past the coded door. When I called to talk to the director she stated she could not discuss it with me as I was not the parent, however they had not problem discussing other things with me even other children, then I was hung up on as she said she was trying handle the whole situation was but so stressed out it all and could not handle it. Very unprofessional place. I would highly recommended ensuring you have audio and video on your child's room at all times!!!

The first experience and I've only been taking my 2 daughters here since the 15th. The director informed me that I needed a specific type of labels on my babies bottle. She is only 3 month old and I was told they would not be able to feed her due to "incorrect labels." My daughter requires a special formula and giving her anything else would make her sick. The director was very rude and not willing to compromise with the Labels I provide with the exact information she required on the bottles. I also have a 1 year old who is a really happy and really loves playing with other kids, but has never been happy here & cried all day everyday. Today was the icing on the cake and not to mention how humiliating and embarrassed I was on how I was treated! When dropping off my 1 year old this morning, which I walk right by the directors office to get to her classroom, an area where car seats are dropped off, a classroom & then another classroom. I dropped my daughter off & spoke with her teachers for a minute then as I am walking out the director is calling out a name behind me but since it's not my name I'm assuming she isn't talking to me. She continues to call out a name a little louder and more aggressive (inside if the daycare) and I still have no idea who she is talking too. She continues to walk behind me but of course I don't respond or stop. She follows me all the way to my car saying do you NOT hear me saying your name to which I finally respond & say I hear you saying somebody's name but that isn't my name & then she proceeds to tell me that I need to go get my child because it was past 9am and that is their cut off (which it indeed was not) I told her I wasn't getting my daughter because she made it in time & then she tells me she's going to call DHS on me saying I'm abandoning my daughter and she will also call all of my emergency contacts to come get her. My recommendation is stay FAR AWAY from the place. I give it 0 out 10 and would give it a (-) if I could. Stay away from any daycare with Bailey Kleeman as a director. She makes the place an awful place for your kids. They even have cameras where you can watch your children all day & I still don't feel comfortable.

Our family absolutely loves LaPetite Academy! This academy has been so wonderful to both of my children. My children have learned so much and love their teachers. The director and assistant director go out of their way to be warm and welcoming to us everyday. So thankful my kids are well taken care of while I am at work.
