Rusty Morecraft: Great place for kid and families

Naviah Traci (Lochemet): Closing tomorrow at 4:30.

Linze Aya: Awesome place! Doing great things!

Danae Tyus (DJ): It's not a doctor's office anymore but a place for kids to explore different subjects such as; music: guitar and saxophone, strategy: chess, and much more. The CAC is also am after school program for near by schools.

Marilyn Dredge: My 10 year old son did both the Dog and Cat vet camps a few weeks ago. He had a blast and I loved when he came home and started inspecting our dogs teeth and paws. He also loved making cat toys for his friends cats. I highly recommend for the animal lovers in your life!

Casey Jacobs: Great program for kids

Bill Reich: Great summer camps for kids!

Jerremy Strassner: Went to a veteran birthday party for a 5 year year old. Kids had lots of fun.

AnnaMarie Ogunmola: I had my 6 year olds party here, because she loves to investigate gross things. She loved her that's gross class, even though most of the kids didn't try the first activity (drinking sparkling water until you burp). It's a little pricey, but a good activity.

Leslie Jacobs: This is the best childcare facility I have ever been to. It's so down to earth and all of the staff takes the time to get to know your child AND you. Meals are prepared fresh everyday, toys are cleaned throughout the day, and if your child has an accident they are sweet enough to wash the soiled clothes! They also provide diapers for you to take home every month!As a parent of a toddler, I know he is a tornado and he is going to run into things and bump his head. If anything happens while he's in their care I immediately get a phone call explaining what happened. My son smiles when I drop him off and runs to his teachers!This facility is also SUPER affordable. Income based but it never feels like it. The United Way truly cares about the youth.All in all this facility deserves 10/10. Thank you so much for all your love and support

Karley Berard: This place has new management and the transformation has been unbelievable! They have a set weekly curriculum based on play and exploration for my 18 month old. He is so far ahead of other kids his age that don’t attend “school”. The school is flexible and they really understand the needs of working parents. To top it off, the staff is so kind and loving towards my son. They greet us every time we come in the door. Also they have a great playground. Great place!

Tammy: There are no review's for a reason

Andrea Albert: My son just turned 3 and has been going to La Petie since he was 2 and a half. This place is amazing! The teachers are super sweet and take good care of all the kiddos in their care. They provide them with lots of play, educational and learning so it's the perfect environment for anyone looking for a preschool for their little ones. My son has made so many new friends and has learned so much from them. I highly recommend such a great preschool! They also have an open area which is nice instead of the separated closed off rooms. They have an app where you can check up on your child to see how they're doing throughout the day which I feel for me gives me a sense of relief to see how my kiddo is doing. 😊

Cheyenne Ray: My son went to La Petite for 2 years. If he was not going to school this year he would still be there. He loved going here and made so many friends and had amazing teachers. It was awesome to see him grow in his education and his love of learning. I never had to worry about him while he was here. I knew he was being cared for and having a blast. I cannot say enough good things about this school. After months of searching I am glad we found La Petite so my son had a safe, fun learning environment that he was excited to go to everyday.

Alex Ethridge: Our daughter has gone here since she was 9 months old and we couldn’t love La Petite and all the teachers there more. We had a very bad experience with our first daycare setting and we were very scared and worried to send our daughter anywhere else, but La Petite made it so easy to trust them and made us feel like we were right at home. They also send us pictures and updates throughout the day that just put your mind at ease.My daughter has learned so much, I am amazed every day when she comes homes because she has learned something new. Everyone there loves and cares so much for each of those kids. Even our daughters past teachers still show her so much love when they are passing through her classroom. We absolutely love la petite and everyone there and could not be happier knowing our daughter is somewhere safe and loved.

KAREN B: My daughter loved La Petite! The director, teachers, and even the families who attend are exceptional beyond words.

Brie Banks: Director acted very nonchalant, my son was sleeping on a bare mat for a month straight and supposedly he was using the extra daycare sheets. But he wasn't. They lost his covers and his sheet. I will be filing a lawsuit because of this.

Emma Jean: It’s with a heavy heart I write a five star review for my favorite daycare and preK facility! My children have learned SOOO much in such a short time. I was nervous because my children have only known me and they got my youngest son to loosen up and get comfortable and he even stopped throwing tantrums for nap time. The Director at the time and the new Director, Jessica are and have been so kind and gracious! I wish we didn’t have to relocate but I can say my oldest son Maher is ready for kindergarten and the year isn’t even over yet. Thank you all for everything! The burritos meals and having access for parents to check in our babies through camera and through chat. You all are heavily missed.

joshua wooden: Critical:Professionalism,Quality,ValueFailure to communicate....

Amela Talic: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Reliability,Responsiveness,ValueWhen your 5 years old says “he learns more then he plays” you know it’s a perfect school! The directors are extremely nice and very professional. The teachers are very sweet, very involved, and so good with the kids. You can hear in their voices how much they enjoy being with the kiddos.

Eric Volmert: La Petite has been taking care of my wonderful granddaughter for close to 2 years and the staff there has been amazing!Brittni Deterding & Stephanie Fiondella are awesome directors & are not only very pleasant,they always keep me informed!I also love the children there! They are very well mannered,pleasant and very happy.Special shout out to Miss Jessica & Miss Janae!

Andrew Doeschot: La Petite Academy of St. Louis was a fantastic school for our child to attend. He learned many great skills in his time there. The teachers and staff were outstanding and were great at communicating with us any time it was needed.

steve crawford: Great child care provider with caring staff.

Matt Frauenhoffer: Incredible day care / preschool experience. We've had two kids (5 and 3) there for a long time, and all their teachers, child care providers and administrative leaders are warm, receptive and just amazing examples for our kids. Can't say enough great things about them.Also - their summer camp is very involved and our kids loved the activities and field trips.We toured / reviewed a lot of day cares, and this one is the best in South County St. Louis, by far -

Brandy Alonso: After visiting with several daycares, La Petite was hands down the most accommodating, friendly and appealing for our daughter. The director has gone above and beyond for us while transitioning our daughter into daycare. I was nervous for sending her to daycare for the first time, and the staff updates me on her progress with pictures, emails and phone calls. Not only does my daughter adore her teachers and new friends, but I enjoy helping out for their fun family events as well! The staff is so attentive and friendly...they greet every child by name and always show an interest in their life outside of daycare as well. I know that any concerns I have are always taken seriously and addressed immediately. My work schedule constantly changes, and La Petite has patiently worked with us to plan our daughter's days as daycare. She went from being shy and nervous to be dropped off to hurrying to get ready in the morning and see her teachers and friends. I am beyond pleased with the choice we made and grateful for La Petite making us feel like family. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare that is friendly and genuinely cares.

Mrs Ellie Roche: It has taken me a year to finally type this review!My daughter and son attend La Petite Academy. My daughter joined when Katie was the Director and Lejna was still the Assistant Director. Thanks to their upbeat bubbly personality, I trusted this facility to care for my children. I am SO GLAD I DID. Since then, there has been changes and they have all been for the better. I am difficult parent to deal with, honestly. I want things a certain way, I expect a lot and its mainly because my children spend 9 hours away from me on a daily basis. I feel like they spend most of their time there than they do with me. It's a VERY difficult feeling to wrap your head around, but eventually you have to. Lejna was an amazing influence in the facility when she was there. She knew how difficult it is for me to leave my children every day. She comforted me with pictures and updates via email on the daily. She called my office on days she noticed I felt extra terrible for leaving my children. As a parent, that is HUGE. Brittni D. is now the school director. I had my guard up from the beginning. It is difficult for me to transition with care for my children. She has a lot of dedication to what she does. She is very different compared to Katie, but she has turned out to be one of the most amazing individuals to run a child care facility. She understands the importance of keeping parents involved while at the same time keeping the facility running smoothly and professionally. She has taken the time to connect with the children more and more each day and has built relationships with them. It is such a heartwarming feeling to know that someone genuinely cares for the children attending her facility. The teachers; Ms. Elizabeth, Ms.Dawn, Ms. Miranda, Ms.Dana and so on are the cherry on top!! Most day care's or learning centers have individuals who went to school, got certified and work with children because it's their job. Well, not here. These ladies LOVE children, they really CARE for children and are striving each day to do better. They are raising little minds to be independent, loving, caring, joyful, powerful and well-mannered. I will never part ways from La Petite. I do want to say this; GREAT CARE is not cheap. It never will be, so it really depends on how you look at it. You can either pay more money for exceptional care, or pay less for intermediate care. Me? Money does not compare to the care and attention my children get. It is costly, but in the long run, no amount of money can repay the amount of education and care my children received from attending La Petite. Their meal plan is always something healthy and universal. They also do not mind accommodating your children's needs. It's all about communication! I hope this helps all of you future parents, best of luck to you and THANK YOU staff at La Petite! P.S the facility is ALWAYS CLEAN and well organized. You can thank Ms. OCD/ALWAYS on point with her process Brittni for that! ;) You don't get anything better than that!

Pamela Braasch: My children began attending La Petite last September and I can't say enough good things about this daycare! The director- Brittini is wonderful and very accommodating when I need to change the schedule. My boys love their teachers and talk non-stop about what they did that day at school. Their curriculum is great and I feel they really take the time with each child to make sure they are reaching certain milestones. Although, this facility is a little expensive and puts a strain on us financially, I would not take them anywhere else for I feel it is money well spent!

Kathleen Jenkins: I have a 3 1/2 year old and a just turned 5 yr old. My 3 1/2 is in the preschool program and the 5 year old is in the Pre K program. Neither one had been in a school setting before and eveyone at La Petite Academy made the kiddos feel comfortable from the 1st time they went. The Pre-K program has really helped the 5 yr old adjust to a classroom setting. And my pre-schooler has learned so much in the last 5 months. I cannot say enough about the teachers and the staff!! They know how to handle the kiddos. Miss Katie and Miss Stephanie are just amazing teachers. As director and asst director, Ms Britni and Ms Layna keep the parents informed with what is going on at the school. They also keep up with the education of the staff. I feel as it is a big family there.

Sarah Spaulding: Our family has L-O-V-E-D being a part of the LaPetite family this Spring 2012. It was the perfect place to help us transition from our son staying home with momma to him going to "school" full-time. This was my first semester as a full-time student as well, my husband just graduated with his associates of arts in teaching and has two more years to go! So, with us all three officially students LaPetite's professional and extremely helpful and loving staff made the difference for our success. We are all looking forward a great Summer together and then coming back to LaPetite for a wonderful Fall! Thank you all so much for all you do every day for every child - our son has learned so much and has grown in his abilities in math, english, art, and science!!! I love hearing him tell me what the weather is doing, it is wonderful =) Thanks again - WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND LA PETITE ACADEMY ON TESSON FERRY RD
