Parent Reviews at La Petite Academy of Ventura

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

Familia inscrita

We love La Petite. The lead teachers are fantastic. I feel confident and comfortable leaving my child in the hands of others. I know that she will be cared for and loved. She has learned so much from her teachers and her peers. Deciding to put my child in daycare as an infant was VERY HARD. But the staff has always taken good care of our baby. She is so happy when we drop her off and so happy when we pick her up. Enrolling at La Petite was one of the best decisions we made for our child. It is also a plus that food and diapers are included in tuition.

Meals, snacks, rest, and plenty of opportunities for choice and play are built into the day, providing a familiar routine while keeping each day engaging.

How do you track my child’s development and share their progress?

Each child has an individual portfolio that grows with them as they progress from one age group to the next, capturing their development and learning along the way. Teachers use developmental checklists, work samples, photos, and observations to understand their progress and support continued growth. Families stay connected through SproutAbout updates, family-teacher conferences, and daily conversations with their child's teachers.

How does learning progress as children move into the next age group?

Our Learn as We Grow curriculum follows six core concepts throughout the year. Children explore these same concepts from Toddlers through Pre-K, but how they experience them changes as they grow. Each program introduces developmentally appropriate activities that build in complexity, helping children deepen their understanding and build new skills as they progress from one classroom to the next.

How does La Petite Academy support children as they transition between classrooms and developmental stages?

Moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone at La Petite Academy of Ventura. Children gradually visit their new classroom, meet their teachers, and become familiar with new routines before the transition.

How does La Petite Academy support children with special needs or individual developmental needs?

At La Petite Academy of Ventura, we recognize that every child learns and develops differently. We encourage you to talk with your local school about your child's specific needs. Our team will work with you to understand how we can support your child and discuss any accommodations or additional support they may need. Open communication with families helps us create a nurturing, inclusive environment where each child can learn, grow, and feel supported.

How often will my child have opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity?

Outdoor exploration happens more than once a day, weather permitting, giving children time to run, climb, jump, and explore nature. These experiences encourage curiosity, movement, and a connection with the world around them.
