I don't know why people are calling this place sketchy. My daughter has been going here since she was 8 months old and she is now 2-1/2. She loves it here as well as us. It was the best decision we have made to enroll her here. She has learned so much and she loves her teachers.

My daughter transferred here from a Montessori school and we love it here so much more!! I love the facility and the staff is great. They’re always available when I have questions. I highly recommend La Petite. Our daughter has learned so much in her year and a half here.

It's a sketchy little preschool and the workers have horrible attitudes. Tyreisha in particular is a miserable young lady that has no idea how to treat people and should not work anywhere near children.

My son is happier here than he was at another place that I was taking him. The people are all very nice.

Under new management and the new director is great. She cares about the kids and the school. She is doing a overhaul of the school and it looks like a real learning facility. The teachers are great and love the children.

Not impressed. Legally this place shouldn't be open. Their staff is a line of questionable people just based off first impression. Very scary.

A teacher here tested positive for covid and the facility has done nothing to inform parents. They do not care about the kids.. only making money.

We have loved having our son at La Petite Academy! He has attended the school for almost 4 years and we love the teachers and directors. Any issues we’ve ever had the director has always dealt with quickly and kindly. My son wakes up every morning excited to go to school. I hate to see so many negatives reviews but have to remember that most people only write down the bad things that happen and never post the good. There’s seriously some amazing teachers at this school that any child would be lucky to have! We love Mrs. Tammy, Mrs. Emily, Mrs. Hailey, Mrs. Janice, Mrs. Susie and Mrs. Mollie.

As a first mom I am very particular. They have been patient and accommodating to my every request. I feel like my little one is safe and happy at La Petite. I like their brightwheel app for daily updates as well. I would recommend!

I would never recommend to anyone to take their children here. It is dirty. It is loud. It is chaotic. My poor 18 month old was so sad to be dropped off here and could not wait to leave. She was constantly sick because it's unclean. The teachers rotate continuously. We were there a month and I didn't even learn a single teachers name because it was always someone new.This was a terrible experience. I feel so ashamed that I ever took my little one here.If you care about your children's well being and emotional happiness, do not take them here.

Unfortunately I ignored friends & reviews but DO NOT GO HERE.It started with my son (who was then 3) being "talked to" for bringing a water gun to school for show and tell. I found out when I picked him up & it was locked in a closet. He proceeded to tell me how he isn't allowed to bring it to school because it's bad. They then went to make an addition to the monthly calendar on the day of "Show & Tell" to put "NO TOY GUNS". I personally thought this was a bit tacky seeing as it was really an easy conversation to have with the parent (whether that be myself or others). Multiples times my son had other kids clothes and vice versa, but that was honestly the least of my concerns. I told them he is smart and would need to be challenged & they told me we could look at moving him up early which never happened because he wasn't 4. They were learning shapes, colors, letter recognition.. basic things which he had long known. I asked they challenge him with SOMETHING new (which never happened). He hadn't napped since he was 2, but they still never did anything to entertain him in other ways. He finally moved to the older class and things were better. I did like his teacher, but the management needs some work (which the ONE positive thing I will say is the assistant director is now moving to Bentonville). There were several occasions Whitney would say insanely rude things and back track the moment I questioned her comments. For always used the most negative words: issues, trouble, problems... She even went as far once to question me if he was in counseling. We DID NOT have a relationship to warrant that. Fun times!To make things better, out of nowhere my son started getting 3+ "incident reports" a day. When I asked about the details of the situation, no one had an answer. These are basic questions such as "What happened leading up to this?". Some examples of reports: tossing his socks/shoes during nap time, climbing into the sandbox and dumping sand on his head, climbing on things outside, calling someone a 'poopy head' ... Again, maybe I'm more laid back than some parents, but it sounds like typical 4 year old boy things to me! His teachers would apologize to me every time I would pick him up and say they were sorry and didn't think these were big things or "write up worthy" but that management was making them.The final straw came about 2 weeks after the initial write ups started. My son started getting written up for yelling, walking out of the classroom, hitting and throwing things. He may do a lot of things that "annoy" some people because of his energy level, but yelling out of anger or hurting someone is NOT like my son AT ALL. I'm unsure exactly where to pin point the issue because his classroom teacher watched him at my home and agreed with me that it was completely out of character for him. My very intuitive guess is management, which unfortunately I can't prove because I can't sit in the school all day to supervise. They then began to ask ME what to do to correct it. I explained to them that he doesn't act out at home like this so it's not an issue I ever have to deal with, but if there are times that call for it we do time out (which they don't do). I put the ball back in their court and asked for some sort of direction since this is supposed to be their area of expertise (there's a reason I do not work in childcare), but nothing was ever given. It just escalated to more write ups and eventually calling me at work all the time and even making me pick him up. It was pretty obvious they wanted to wash their hands of him, but I still am bewildered at why or how it got to that point. I'll be very transparent, I am not management's biggest fan and unfortunately I think they took that out on my son.He has been out of this school less than 2 weeks and is already back to his happy, NORMAL self and is loving his new school. Do not go here. It's a huge waste
