Parent Reviews at La Petite Academy on W. Sullivan Road

Families trust us to care for, nurture, and support their children during these important early years. Let them tell you why.

Familia inscrita

Overall, what has kept us here the longest is a combination of our family's interaction's with the staff, overall safety, and location. My daughter is currently in preschool, but started here in the Infant 1 classroom. She knows all of the staff members and they all take such great care of our daughter. We now have a second child now enrolled in infant 1, and I was much more at ease with her starting in Infant 1 because I know the teacher from her previously caring for our older daughter.

Familia inscrita

We have had an excellent experience at La Petite and have recommended La Petite to any of our other friends and neighbors who have asked. We greatly appreciate all that the teachers do to make every day fun and engaging. Thank you for taking such excellent care of our children. We sincerly appreciate all you do!
