I love La Petite, my kids love it! The teachers are observant and caring, and know all students by name. They do all kinds of art projects, play outside and interactive learning games. The best part, that eases my mommy heart, is the sprout about app. I get updates on my kids and what they are doing. From class time to nap time to lunch, you have everything in the palm of your hand. You can even look in on your kid during the day for piece of mind and it’s affordable. Definitely send your kid here, fully recommended!

I have a lot of concerns of this place. The only reason that my niece is go there is because my sister doesn’t have another daycare to go to. They Already booked No spots left. There’s a lady African-American In a ponytail and glasses in the two year-old class She is so rough with the children, I’ve seen her grabbing kids hard in the arms and the kids cry. My mother sometimes goes pick up my sister Children, She said there was a time that there was A kid(white girl two years old) bleeding And she told her that she didn’t even know what happened to her, And she supposed to be the one taking care of her. She Should not even be working With children because she has a nasty attitude. I can even see it and I don’t even know The person But I always check up on my nieces Through the app And you can’t Screenshot That’s the only reason why I can’t have the proof to show you guys. Be careful with your children there I’ve seen the other ladies in the preschool and they’re so sweet But the ones that are working with the The two year-old the lady with the glasses She is so mean, It’s sad because the children can’t talk They’re only two years old. I can’t stress the fact that It hurts me. I’ve seen her always grab children like animals, And one time I saw her even let a kid fall. That’s the only time I saw her hug a child because she knew it was Her fault. That’s because because she was changing His diaper. She’s just lucky that I’m never caught her Messing with My niece.

This daycare has helped my children grow exponentially. They work with potty training and they do fantastic with the kids. My children have been attending for a year and I've had no complaints. They also have an app with camera access that I think gives lots of parents comfort. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the Shelby area looking for childcare.

My son was enrolled in may of 2023, I was regretting my decision to change his daycare shortly after he was enrolled! Fortunately they are under new management and the place has done a complete turn around! My son and I are very pleased with la petite!

Our daughter has been attending La Petite the last 2 months. She thoroughly enjoys attending the school and always looks forward to her time there.
No they aren’t perfect but no one is but I most certainly happy to hear and see the improvements they are making!

Enrolling my infant in daycare initially filled me with apprehension, but La Petite and its exceptional team in the infant room swiftly alleviated any concerns. Their warm and welcoming demeanor, greeting us with cheerful "good mornings" and saying “byes" every day, immediately put us at ease. The care and attention extended beyond just the infant teachers; it was heartening to see other staff members take the time to interact with my little one, affirming the sense of community and love within the center.
In just a few short months, our child has flourished in ways we hadn't imagined possible. From engaging in finger painting to participating in creative crafts, he's experiencing milestones that we hadn't anticipated until his toddler years. His joyous expressions and eager reach towards his teachers each morning serve as a testament to the nurturing environment provided by La Petite. We are reassured daily that we made the perfect choice for our child's early education and care.

No one is at the front desk when you walk in, chaos every morning and afternoon when you walk in. Majority of the time, the cameras aren’t working.. they don’t keep you updated. Some teachers don’t care about your child. My child got injured there and ever since then, they have made him out to be the worst kid.. claiming his biting other children, but wouldn’t show me proof. He showed how much he didn’t like the teacher who hurt him, they wouldn’t pull the cameras. They just didn’t care, I get a call saying he’s unenrolled from there, they only tried one suggestion to help with the biting.. and then it didn’t work so they just went to corporate. Instead of informing me. Most of the teachers in the afternoon don’t know what’s going on or who the kid is. This is the worst daycare.. they don’t want to work with you at all.. my son is 2.. not everything is going to be perfect but instead of working with me they just went straight to corporate and got them involved and still refused to pull up the cameras to let me see exactly what happened that day the teacher grabbed him and pulled him up by his arm resulting in an occult fracture and nursemaids elbow.

My son (blank) began the preschool program last Tuesday the 2nd, and has been enrolled elsewhere since this last Monday but I needed to reach out to LA petite to let you know why we will not be returning. On Wednesday the 3rd of last week I asked my mother to pick up my son from LA petite, she was let in the door by another parent and never had to input the door code, and when she said she was there to pick up my son no one even asked who she was. She has never been to this facility. She could have been anyone taking my son. Both myself and my mother witnessed the absolute chaos everyday at pick up and drop off, there seemed to be no adult in charge, one morning as I was leaving I had to turn a baby around from following me out the door. The second morning my son was having a meltdown during drop off and he was terrified, which hasn't happened before or since, and not one teacher offered any sort of help of encouragement to him to let me leave, it was emotional for both of us. This all occurred BEFORE apparently half of the staff quit and his classroom was suddenly shut down halfway through the day on Thursday and now indefinitely. Luckily I was able to find a daycare last Thursday or I would have had to miss work this entire time. I'm a self employed single mother, had I not followed my gut feeling to get him out of there when I did it would have meant bills didn't get paid. I was also left paying for a registration fee for 2 schools and 2 tuition fees this last week. This whole experience has been entirely unacceptable, I will be copying this email to leave a review in order to prevent others from coming to your business in the future. Children are not safe or cared for in this establishment.

The best childcare facility in the area! So professional and kind. My daughter could read short books when she was four thanks to their great program. I would use their after school care but they are full. Hopefully they can expand and get more staff do they can accommodate more people!

This is a great childcare center. It is very affordable. The live steaming gives parents comfort in knowing we can see our children at any time of the day. The director is very knowledgeable and understanding. The assistant director is also knowledgeable and very nurturing to the kids. You can tell that most of the staff have a passion for working with the kids. My kid's teachers are great. With Covid being a thing, this childcare center has been on top of things and ensuring that each kid is entering a safe environment.
