If I could I would give a negative star. My kid came home telling us he was a bad kid. We pulled them soon after.

Our child went there from infant to Toddler 2 when the daycare hired new caregivers for that room. Video showed the kids pushing hitting pinching biting. I took my child out of class for weeks, and often only took them a few days during a week when I had family help. We had no problems at home with the behavior. When they got to the room they went to survival mode. Four toddlers on the stairs no one monitoring caused pushing, falls, bites, and scratches. At reading time the children would sit almost on top of each other and the caregiver which would cause more fighting. I got regular pictures and updates through out the day in all the other classes and video showed children being monitored on the stairs and being taught how to sit in a group without tackling their neighbors to get to the front. They weren't swinging toy's around and hitting the others in the face or knocking each other down in the previous room. I paid a premium amount and feel that I couldn't continue to put my child through this. To be fair the previous rooms caregivers we're great.

You better get your kid some self defense classes before throwing your money away at this payper view cage match. They are awful and way too expensive to be this bad.

Incredibly bad first impression. I scheduled on a Friday for a tour through their call center because this is a franchise. Therefore, I don’t know where the communication error originates, but the call center stated their was availability in the 2 year old classroom and scheduled me a tour for Monday at 9am. I get a confirmation call on Saturday and confirmed. I show up at 9 am and am informed that they aren’t doing tours due to COVID and they also have no availability until September. The director, Melody, stated that “she saw me on the schedule but was SO BUSY she couldn’t call me.” To me, this is extremely inconsiderate and unprofessional. Also, I know that COVID is very much real - but she responded very strangely to me offering a handshake, but then turned around and was touching on my two year old. If COVID is your excuse, then I would at least want to be consistent. I didn’t appreciate the lack of coordination that ultimately wasted time and a trip to town for me and my daughter. I wouldn’t suggest wasting your time either.

La Petite in Joplin has been the best place for both my sons for the last 4 years! The directors and teachers are so incredibly loving and knowledgeable with all the children in the center. The staff engages all children and makes sure they know they are welcome each day. My husband and I trust everyday that our boys are getting the best possible care! As a teacher myself, I am also a huge fan of the curriculum from an early age! The amount of time and energy they put into providing the best education for each kiddo is amazing! The technology, top notch daily communication, and security are also huge reasons we love La Petite! I can’t imagine taking them anywhere else. We love our La Petite family!

We LOVE La Petite!! The staff are absolutely incredible. The curriculum for the kids is excellent. I can tell my kids are learning so much every day. I always feel at ease dropping them off. The staff are so loving and caring. They keep us updated on everything that's going on throughout the day. I couldn't ask for a better place to look after my babies.

My 7 month old baby girl attends La Petite academy in Joplin, MO. And everything about this child care facility has exceeded my expectations. Melody, the Director is extremely friendly, organized, and professional. All of her employees have been trained exceptionally well and understand the importance of going above and beyond to care for your children. I highly recommend La Petite to anyone searching for high quality child care in the Joplin area. You will not be disappointed in the services that they provide!!!

We have had an amazing experience at the Joplin La Petite. Our child has made friends and learned so much. There is also a great variety of healthy foods and snacks. Safety has never been a concern of ours and it really feels like family.

Completely and totally trust this staff with my kiddos daily. They not only provide a secure and safe environment but also prepare them with the skills they need to learn and be ready for school and life. They have become family and provide love, education and safety for my kiddos daily while we are away from them. Love, love, love them!!!

Very inattentive staff bad customer service. Didnt even make it in the door. Was greeted outside by a very rude annoyed staff member who infromed me that the front desk would let me in when there was no one at the front desk. Rang the doorbell twice after standing outside in the cold for at least 10 mins. Decided that they would not be an appropriate fit. If you cant be attentive to a door or a paying customer then im not going to trust you with my child. Bad first impression!

My son has just started in their Pre-K class and absolutely loves it. He can't wait to go back. All of the staff is extremely friendly. I would definitely recommend.
