this place is very unprofessional. Ive had a couple of staff members told me that they dont have the qualifications they said they have and overall i've witnessed mean ways the teachers speak to the kids.

Sent our 5 year old to this daycare for 2 weeks while on business and he had a great time! The daycare keeps the children busy through various daily activities and the teachers always seem to be very attentive to the children's needs. Thank you La Petite for our stay!

We have been using this facility for 4 months now and we have an infant that needs a special diet. The staff is so amazing and caring. They know every child there and always have the best attitudes even on tough days. My daughter loves them do much and I love watching her grow with the other babies in there. I feel good knowing the care she is getting is top notch.

We just started at La Petite this week and I already have so many great things to say! The registration process was easy and if you do have questions they do not hesitate to help you! The director Mrs. LaKeishia is amazing and very helpful! A few things I really like about La Petite is there curriculum, and how it focuses on academics for the little ones! In addition, I love the classroom set up and how the children are put into different groups! I also enjoy that they do circle time twice a day, and have a nice play ground area for them to play outside! There are many great things la Petite has the offer! I highly recommend her school for a little one or if you have friends that are looking for preschool or daycare! I would love to SHOUT OUT my sons preschool teachers who are doing a great job Amber and Jada! Lastly, one of my favorite things about La Petite is the sprout about app where you have access to the school classroom to view how your child is doing throughout the day! I'm very happy that we found La Petite and I cannot wait to watch my son grow!

We are thrilled with our selection of la petite for childcare. I started my daughter at only 3 months old and was so nervous with going back to work. She is well loved and taken care of here and the staff have done an amazing job at teaching her and caring for her. I feel like she learns more here than what I could do at home and she even has started making other baby friends. The staff are caring and responsive and an app helpa us stay up to date on her schedule and activities. I highly recommend!!!

I have 2 sons that currently attend La Petite of Eden Brook Drive. It was the best decision we ever made. Ms. Felicia and Ms. Jesse take care of my younger son who is hard of hearing. They are always wanting to learn more signs and how to better help his needs. Ms. DeNeisha and Ms. Abby are my older child’s teacher and he talks non stop about them at home and how he can’t wait to to go to school “tomorrow”. The love all of them give to my kids is absolutely felt through the communication given to me and my husband. I’m so lucky to have such caring teachers to teach my children. ❤️

Do they deserve a star? My baby attended this daycare for a few months. The DIRECTOR and teachers complained about my 2 year old and insisted us to pick her up early almost everyday. After a few weeks we gave up and found another daycare where she is thriving and haven’t received anything but praise since. I am not sure what their issue was, but certainly a two year old was too much for them to care for. And i second Ava Zhu’s comment that the teachers used to forcefully pull 2 year olds’ hands. I have complained several times when i saw them doing that to my baby and their response was that it may have appeared that way on camera ?. Unprofessional, rude, inpatient and definitely not child friendly.

My son was in this school from Oct 2020 to Aug 2021. I post review lately because many friends asked me to do it after they heard he suffered physical abuse.I watched the live stream in his classroom (toddler) ~2hrs a day and had seen 2 times a teacher caught my son's arms and forced him to sit still no matter how hard he was fighting. After got home on these 2 days, the scratches on his arms were obvious...He was only 1.5 years old and not able to tell us what's happened. We had reported to school the next day and the teacher and current director didn't tell the truth until we told we were watching. We had called La Petite company and reported to their district manager and child service in government. They did not take our concerns seriously as we didn't see their investigations. The teacher who hurt him was STILL working there before we changed school.Actually not only my son, his little friends had suffered similar experiences that I saw. That teacher disciplined kids almost EVERYDAY!!! I strongly doubt her profession, because kids were reading books alone just before timeouts.My son was very quite at this school and he became verbal 1 month after he got into a new place. We're so grateful to our decision!

Our son was in this daycare for over a year and I have nothing but good things to say. The management was always very helpful, nice, and listened to our concerns. The teachers were one of a kind. They were amazing with our kid and truly cared for him and kept us updated all the time. Felicia has the best personality and always made ours sons day and ours! We will miss this entire daycare.

We've had a great experience at La Petite! Our three children have been going here, and they love the teachers. Our oldest just started kindergarten, and she is thriving because of the great head start she got at La Petite.

We would still be at La Petite Academy of Columbia if it weren't for moving! The staff were so loving and attentive to my son in both the infant and toddler rooms. We appreciated the variety of educational activities that he would participate in on a daily basis, and the updates in the Brightwheel app so we could keep up with what he was doing. Knowing my son was in such good hands while keeping tabs on his day to day activities truly allowed me to concentrate at my job and not fret about his wellbeing. Additionally, we cannot express enough thanks for how seriously they took Covid-19, to include daily temperature checks, restricting classrooms to children only, shutting down classes when children were being tested for the virus, and regular handwashing for both staff and children. My son now knows how to wash his hands more effectively than many adults! We miss the staff there dearly!

We’ve moved to Maryland this summer and we are so lucky to enroll my 1 yr old daughter at La Petite Academy. Very professional and lovely team. My daughter is loving the place so much and she is having so much fun as well. I can’t express how happy we are and grateful to Ms. Martina and Ms. LaKeishia and all the team!

My son went to La Petite Academy (Eden Brook Drive) from the age of 3 months until he was 2 years old. If we hadn't moved I would have kept him there until they kicked us out! The staff at La Petite is WONDERFUL. They obviously care for each and every child, and give them their full attention. My son was very close to his teachers, and I trusted them implicitly with his care - they felt like part of the family.Not only are the staff wonderful with the kids, but they are very responsive to the parents. I always knew what was going on, and all problems were clearly communicated. During lock-down (due to pandemic) in Spring, although they had to close, they kept in close communication. Since reopening, they have kept good hygiene practices and I always felt safe sending my son in, knowing they took his health and well-being very seriously.My son hit milestones well with his teachers, and I know he would have continued to learn so much from them had we stayed. I will always wish we could have stayed here.I HIGHLY recommend this La Petite location to any parent looking for a great environment for their child.5 stars!

We love this La Petite daycare! Our daughter has been attending since she was 3 months old and is now 19 months. She has been loved & cared for by amazing staff at each level. The Directors are amazing people who really care about the kids & families. Now my daughter is excited to come to school each day & sad to leave! They have a ton of fun activities for the kids & my daughter is learning rapidly! I would recommend to anyone.
