There is a lady there that doesn't like me and barely even respond when my son talks to her and now she is making it hard for me to get my daughter in and I'm at risk of loosing my job because she wants to lie and say that my paperwork has the wrong provider number but it has had the same provider number for the last year that my son has been there. My daughter is mixed so I feel like this personal issue she has is something to do with my daughters race. When I asked nicely for info of w supervisor she wasn't trying to give me the info so I had to ask nicely again and she got mad and rolled her eyes and said they gonna tell me the same thing. If the provider number was wrong why would she wait till 530 pm when I pick up my child knowing now it's too late to call dcf? She always have a additude twords me and my kids and I don't know why. She also called child protective services on me months ago all because I had car trouble and car could of caught on fire. But she still wanted me to pick up my child and put him at risk for being hurt. She kept threaten to getting him picked up. This is so unfair

We have had a wonderful experience at La Petite Academy! Our daughter started as an 8-week old in Infant 1 and is just getting ready to move up to Infant 2. My top motivation for giving this establishment a 5 star rating is the staff. It is clear to me that each caregiver my daughter encounters at La Petite truly cares for her and genuinely wants the best for her. It is very comforting for me to know that she is in loving and capable hands each and every day. In addition to the high quality care that my daughter receives, she also is able to take part in numerous activities to enhance her development. The staff are very creative, and come up with unique curriculum (even for infant 1!) including the arts (painting), music, social, etc. I also greatly appreciate the organization and structure of each day. The system that La Petite has in place to track individual infant schedules and communicate that information efficiently to the parents (through an app) puts me at ease. I know my daughter will be fed and have her diaper changed at regular, dependable intervals. Overall, I highly recommend La Petite Academy for an exceptional childcare experience!

We switched to La Petite of Shawnee in July 2019 and it's been a perfect fit for my 4 year old! He runs to the front door at drop off and he's so excited to be there! They have an app which allows for quick communications and pictures to be sent privately. All the staff are friendly - they say hi" at drop off/pick up. The facility is bright and CLEAN. My son is having fun and he's learning. They also offer soccer on-site, and will hopefully have an additional music program starting soon. He's no longer stressed about school days and I wish we would have moved him sooner.

LaPetite is awesome! I have two kiddos in the West Shawnee location and I must say, the teachers are amazing and the directors are too. They genuinely care about my kids social, emotional, and cognitive abilities. We re so lucky for these caregivers in our family’s life!!

I am surprised today when my kid reminded me how badly she was treated in this Shownee Mission's la petite day care. One of the worst experience with my little one who was just 3 years only. Please make sure that you ask lot of questions to your kids about how they have been treated in school each day. Give your child comfort and teach them how they should tell you regarding misbehave in school. Specially Indian parents pls think twice before you put your kid in this location. Don't go with all thes 5 star ratings these could be fake or written by their staffs.

My children LOVE La Petite! They are both learning and growing developmentally and have made amazing friendships. They love their teachers who care about them as if they were their own children. We are so looking forward to our older son continuing to go to La Petite for before and after school care now that he is starting kindergarten so he can stay with his little sister who will remain at La Petite for many years to come.

Like any mother's life, this past week has been crazy, both at the office and at home. On Friday, I picked my 17-month old son from La Petite as normal. I talked with the teacher about how my son's day was, as normal. She handed me some artwork he had done that day, as normal - although this artwork included a Mother's Day card. I didn't think anything of it until late that evening, after dealing with more craziness and finally putting my son to bed. I sat down for the first time in hours and noticed the card sitting on the table. I opened it, not expecting anything extraordinary. But inside the envelope was a darling card with flower petals glued on...and A CHOCOLATE BAR. (Best. Surprise. Gift. Ever.) I opened the card to see a photo of Max gluing the flower petals on (with his teacher's help) and a sweet little "I love you" message.That card just made my day.And that's my experience with this branch of La Petite Academy, every day. The teachers - especially my son's teachers: Ms. Jenna, Ms. Julie, and Ms. Cyd - are extraordinary in keeping him happy and healthy, in teaching him songs and his ABC's and 123's and animals and all sorts of things, in engaging him with games and art projects. It's hard and heart-breaking to work long hours at the office every weekday and leave the thing you love most behind, but it's a tiny bit easier when I know that my son is in such good hands. Ever since he started here at 3 months old, my experience with this particular La Petite has been outstanding. It is an extremely well-run school - bright, cheerful, attentive, clean and hands-on - with a staff that is caring and always - ALWAYS - doing what they can for the kids. Tara, the director, seems to be everywhere and to know everything (like any good mom), and when I've ever had a concern, she has gone above and beyond the call of duty to investigate and make sure things are set right. I truly appreciate all of that, and I am so grateful my son - and my daughter, who will join him at La Petite later this year! - have this school - and especially this amazing staff - in their lives.

My son has been attending LPA since he turned one! I am so thankful for all the wonderful teachers that have helped him enhance and master all of his milestones! (You made potty training look so easy!) He is currently in the preschool room and I couldn't be happier! He truly enjoys coming to school everyday! Just wanted to let everyone know how wonderful this school is and how thankful I am that my son is surrounded by these amazing ladies that truly enjoy their place in my son's life! Thanks to everyone at LPA!

We have had our 2 year old at La Petite since she was a few months old. We love the staff there. They are very consistent with our daughter, and they communicate with us about her growth and development better than any of the handful of daycares we have used before. We are regularly surprised by how well the director is informed about our daughters growth and development. It is like she is in the classroom every day! We would recommend this daycare to anyone looking for attentive and caring people to help your little ones grow healthy and strong!

This La Petite location is great. All of the staff are always very friendly and seem to really care about my child. This is my second child to attend this school. I highly recommend this location for anyone wanting to prepare their child for school. The structure and education program is great and they learn far more than what is required entering kindergarten. Great staff, great location and always very clean!

My son went to this location from 12 weeks old to 15 mo (2008-2009). Things may have changed in that time but I felt compelled to write a review given all the "Excellent" ratings. They were ok. I knew my son was cared for and safe, but I felt more like they were babysitters rather than educators. I did not want my son to have a pacifier, but they forced it on him and would stick him in a bouncy seat with his arms swaddled and let him sleep so much that he did not want to sleep at night. Also, they had the tiny babies in the same room as the infants who were approaching one and crawling and walking. Totally different needs. It was fine for what it was, but I found childcare at another center that is far superior and a little cheaper.

My son Jordan started in the La Petite Pre-School program earlier this year in March. I chose La Petite for my child's early education needs due to the competitive pricing, flexible schedules, opening of just part time care and location. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical when he started that it would be a good fit for him, but all the other factors were there so I had to give it a chance. Boy, the staff and directors really have me convinced now that I've made the best decision for my child's well being and education. This facility is clean, warm and inviting. The staff from the director on down to the housekeeping folks are absolutely amazing people to work with. The director of the facility, Tara Mervosh is large in part why I have kept my son in attendance at La Petite. Tara is motivated, friendly, professional and takes a genuine interest in each and every one of the children and their families. Tara has been a wonderful addition to this facility and keeps my business coming through the door. She is the type of person you can go to with any issue that may arise and expect results. The teaching staff is equally talented and passionate about each child and their personal well being and education. My son learns so much each and every day he attends La Petite. I am extremely confident he will be more than ready for Kindergarten come 2013 and I have La Petite in Western Shawnee to thank for that. Highly recommend this business to others looking for affordable, quality, friendly child care, early education, or whatever your personal needs may be. La Petite will tailor a program that best fits your the needs of your child and is complementative of your schedule. Give these guys a try, they are worth it!!

My son Christopher has attended this La Petite Academy for 6 years. He started when he was two years old and has continued through to the school age program. Christopher was more than ready for Kindergarten when he started school. I was amazed at the quality of the curriculum and his teachers who were dedicated to his learning. He now enjoys the school age program where he has many friends to "hang out" with before and after school. In the summer and over long breaks the field trips make it extra fun. I highly recommend La Petite Academy to anyone looking for a place where your child can grow and learn for a long time!
