Absolutely amazing. Ms. Lisa is a phenomenal teacher and caring person. She is always the first one at daycare and our child is too. She is always so happy to see our child and is genuine at all times with him. She cares for the children so very much as do all the teachers in the school. When we pick up our child, the teachers in the infant room always tell us how his day was. Smile and greet us and again, show genuine care and love for our child. The director Julie is always supportive of the teachers which is shown daily though interactions, smiles and joy throughout the school.

La petite is very responsive to all my questions and concerns. They help me get the best care for my children for the summer. The location is great, the staff is great, and the kids don't usually even want to go home when I get there to pick them up.
Thank you, La Petite, for everything you have done for our son! The director and teachers partnered with me from the start, helping me overcome first-time-mom nerves. Now I'm completely confident knowing his teachers love and care for him.
