Our son was cared for, nurtured and educated at this school since he was 6 months old. The staff at La Petite went out of their way to make sure he was given enriching and fun activities to help him develop. The teachers were knowledgeable and genuinely cared for our son. Unfortunately, changes in my husband's work required us to look for a school closer to our home. The Director and Teachers were heartbroken when we told them we had to move to a different school. They became a second family to us. I always knew my son was cared for, simulated and kept happy. They also make sure to send plenty of pictures throughout the day to put parents at ease. We had a 10/10 experience with La Petite Academy of Vista!!

This is the best La Petite location that we've been to! Our kids are enrolled at 5 schools around the country to accommodate our travel schedule. The kids love it here. They have developed so much since starting at this location. The children do tons of activities, spend a lot of time outside. Staff upload many pictures and updates throughout the day. Staff are easy to work with and represent the brand well. We really appreciate leadership and how they work with our schedule and support our kiddos.

Our son has been going to La Petite since he was 18 months old. He is now 4! The staff have always been very professional & caring and our son is very happy there. Michelle, the director, has always been very open, approachable and helpful with all of our queries. Most recently she has organized a number of events to bring all the families together! We very happy with La Petite & would recommend without hesitation.

Would give zero stars if I could. Went on a tour and planned to enroll my two year old son here using CDA. Spoke with Michelle the director prior to my son's start date and explained that my son had just gotten a physical. I said I already had paperwork signed by the doctor and asked if that would suffice or if I needed to take him back to get another signature on the form La Petite provided. She assured me it would be acceptable as long as it is form by the state, which it was. When I came to drop my son off in the morning, she was extremely rude saying she could not let me drop my son off without the correct paperwork. I told her she is the one who assured me it was okay, and she claims she "would never say that". Looking at previous reviews, there seems to be a common denominator with her telling parents one thing and then going back on it. Anyway, I had to miss work since she would not allow me to drop my son off and then before I even got to work, Michelle called CDA saying she doesn't think it will be a good fit for my son and unenrolled him without even speaking to me about it. To top it all off, she is now trying to bill myself and/or CDA for $350 and put notes saying that I chose not to go to work (I am a single mom I CAN NOT miss work so that's a joke) and did enrolled my son. Michelle is highly unprofessional, rude, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.

If I could give zero stars I would, my child isn't even registered here but Michelle Mckim is a liar. I spoke to her about enrolling my infant and asked if there was any open spots she stated yes a few, went in for a tour she then stated they don't accept YMCA for infants so my case worker calls and she tells her they do take YMCA they just don't have an open spots. Lies lies and lies which one is the truth.

Choosing childcare can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for any parent, especially a first time mom. I am here to let you know that La Petite Academy in Vista is OUTSTANDING! My daughter enjoys going to daycare everyday and she has grown so much developmentally with the help and care of her teachers. Each teacher (even if not in her class) knows her name and truly cares about her growth. I can feel comfortable leaving her in their care everyday. Look no further because this place is amazing! Thank you La Petite for being so wonderful.

We have our two children enrolled at La Petite in Vista.One of my two enrolled at a later age after we had an in-home nanny. The socialization and staff really had such a positive impact.The staff is amazing and have done a fantastic job through the entire COVID situation. Both of our children have thrived and really seem to advance socially being around such a great group of childcare professionals. It is always a difficult and stressful decision around childcare and the people who will watch / care for your child.I never worry about the level of care, education services, or professionalism when it comes to La Petite.The office staff rocks too, great communication and always prompt with any changes.Keep up the great work everyone!P.S. - I might be the first Dad to review a Daycare!?!

I just need to get on here and say what a wonderful experience La Petite Academy has been. I have two daughters there now and I am so impressed at how careful, professional, and caring all of the staff is. Since the pandemic there has been not one covid outbreak or even scare. It’s always hard leaving your kids for any reason in someone else’s care but I can easily say I trust them 100% and I know both my girls are HAPPY and EXCITED to go to school. I love all of them and I am so grateful for what they do and how they love my kids!

Our kids have been very happy here. They love the teachers, other students, and fun, and we love that our five year old can read and write at a nearly 2nd grade level and our three year old is not far behind. We are thrilled with this program.

La Petite Academy of Vista sets the bar for preschool and after school care. The staff is well trained and consistently makes everyone feel welcome. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat. My son has been at La Petite for a little over a year and he truly enjoys it. He likes the projects/games La Petite provides. I would not hesitate to recommend La Petite to my friends.

My son has been at La Petite for almost two years. He loves it. And so do I. The teachers and staff are super friendly and helpful, and they all know all the kids! It's awesome. I have seen such a difference in my son's attitude, confidence, relationships(with other children and adults) and his knowledge base. Sometimes I am astounded by the things he learns and tells me when I pick him up. All in all, I have no complaints for this school, if I have another child, they are definitely going to La Petite. I am going to miss this school very much and I know my son will too when he has to go to kindergarten. YOU ROCK LA PETITE!!!!!
