Loving this center for my daughter! Her first day was so welcoming, and she took right to everyone. I loved that the assistant director took the time to make her feel comfortable at a new school by talking to her and showing her to her new classroom, and the director has been super attentive to any questions I have had. My daughter loves coming to school everyday to see her friends and teachers. She loves it so much she doesn’t want to leave her friends or teachers at the end of the day. I especially love the pictures I get each day of learning activities she is doing. Great center with great staff!

I have had the pleasure to call La Petite Academy my work home for over 2 years now. A young girl freshly out of college, far away from all family, La petite became my family and is honestly one of the main reasons I’m still living in North Carolina today. I have made so many connections while working at La petite and my confidence level has boosted tremendously. The staff is amazing, as well as administration. It’s really nice knowing that when I come to work I have support from so many people. This is a true definition of a team and we work hard everyday to keep the kids safe and happy, making learning fun.

I HIGHLY recommend this preschool to all parents from infant to Preschool . We toured and searched high and low for the right place for our girls.Then we found the PERFECT school. The director Ms. Justina and Janet, and her staff are extremely LOVING and EXCEPTIONAL people. They are always willing to go the extra mile for the children and families. My girls has grown so much since join the academy.They have an amazing curriculum based on learning through. My girls is constantly in a great mood, excited to go to school and see his classmates. He ADORES his teachers, it’s an amazing feeling knowing they treat him just like their own. It promotes a sense of relief knowing my girls is under the BEST care. They maintain an EXCELLENT line of communication and are constantly providing updates throughout the day. The center is always CLEAN and SANITIZED at all times, always in great shape even outside shade for play time. Plus, monthly activities for Overall, La Petite Academy Center is the most RELIABLE recommended school thus far to all parents!

La Petite Academy provides a nurturing and caring experience for our two children. They understand the challenges of working parents and go the extra mile to keep the children challenged and us informed. Management and staff have been helpful, accommodating, and are quick to answer any questions. The photos, videos, and messages from the teachers add a bit of brightness to each day.We are happy that we found La Petite and can’t imagine our children anywhere else.

As a first time parent I was very on edge at the thought of leaving my 7 month old at a daycare. Will they take good care of her? Will they provide a good learning environment for her? When the first daycare didnt work out I went & revisited here. This was my husbands favorite of the ones wed toured & we decided to give it a shot. Best decision. The director is wonderful & both she and staff have been super quick to respond to any concerns or questions. What I like the most is the app they use. I can track when and what she eats, sleeps and is changed. I can also see pics during the day showing books read, songs sung and games/learning activities as theyre done. So happy we went with this daycare.

My two year old son has been at La Petite since he was three months old. He loves going to school every day and I am impressed by the curriculum in the twos classroom. We are so appreciative that La Petite has remained open throughout the pandemic and gives us a safe place to send our child while we work. There is a decent amount of staff turnover - which frankly is the case with most day cares - but weve found the overwhelming majority of teachers to be friendly, kind and helpful. The rates are also reasonable when compared with over 5-star day cares.

Our family has had a great experience at La Petite. Our Skylar enjoys spending time with her friends and teachers everyday. The staff is actively engaged and invested in her growth and development. We are comfortable dropping her off everyday because we know that she is in a loving, caring, and safe environment. We are so thankful to Justina and her staff navigating the uncertain times of COVID-19 and making sure that all of the children had a healthy and safe place to come and learn. Her leadership was key to making her staff feel safe so that care could continue and consistency could continue for the children and parents.

I absolutely love it here! The staff is great and the biggest concern is helping the children to achieve not only standard goals for each age group, but also helping them to soar past those goals, allowing them to go and above and beyond! The children love coming, often dont want to leave, and look forward to their next day of learning and play! Absolutely amazing!

As a first time mom, I thought it would be difficult to leave my baby at daycare, ESPECIALLY during a pandemic. But La Petite has made it so easy and my daughter loves all of her teachers and friends. It is nice to get app updates throughout the day so I can see how much she ate, when she napped, how many diapers, etc. Thanks for being wonderful and caring!!-C. Walsh

Both of our kids have been going to La Petite since they were 3 months old, and all of the teachers and staff have been amazing. It was so hard to send my babies to daycare in the beginning, but the infant room teachers have made us feel comfortable and confident that they are well taken care of. Our two year old loves going to school every day and seeing her friends, and she is so excited to tell me everything she learned each day on the way home.

As a first time mom that suffered from PPD and separation anxiety I cannot fully express just how happy and truly satisfied I have been since my first interaction with these wonderful individuals. My 5 month old daughter has been in school, as we call it, for 2 weeks now and I can already tell a huge difference in her willingness to steer away from shyness, which during a pandemic was a concern. I pick her up every day with a smile on her face, a full belly, and a clean diaper. I chose this facility because they offered live steam, which I have logged in a few times out of curiosity but am in no way concerned or have felt the need to watch behind the scenes. Her teacher, Ms. Joy, is exceptional as what she does on a daily basis and her teaching lessons are on point; I can say the same for Janet and Mariam. The communication among the team and to myself is of top quality in respect to daily child needs, activities, and quick notes throughout the day. Right now we are only going half days, as I am able to work from home in the afternoon but I am anxious to go full time because I know this experience will only get better and my mini will gain such a great atmosphere. I would 100% recommend this team to anyone and am so thankful that this was the right decision for my family.

My wife deals with the school the most, so I dont know much about it.However, I do like the app they use to notify me of what my kid is doing throughout the day. I also like how active my kid is now that shes back in school, shes been talking more and playing more and loves going to school to play with her friends.

Being a first time mom sending my child to daycare during a global pandemic has been so anxiety provoking. La Petite in Cary has made it so much easier to send my little one to school everyday. Every day I know that everyone is doing their best to keep him safe, cared for, and given an amazing opportunity to learn. Their portal system allows me to see updates on every diaper change, bottle, food, change of clothes, activity done, and they even post multiple pictures daily. It’s made me feel like I’m not missing out on the 40 hours a week I’m away from my baby. My biggest compliment is a bittersweet moment for me. I went to pick up my baby the other day, and he reached back out for his teacher and cried. Although it hurt my momma feelings, I was so happy to know how loved he must be all day to of done that! If you want to feel at ease, to feel like you’re part of your child’s day, and want to feel heard this is the daycare/school to pick!

La Petite - Baines has been 5 stars since the day we enrolled. We moved our little one here after some issues at other locations. The entire staff was so involved and hands-on helping us to acclimate to a new school. Since then we’ve enrolled our 2nd little one and the care is just as superb. We’re happy to be a part of the La Petite family and so gracious for the care and attention they provide to our children.

Review №16

The staff especially the director always seems to have an attitude and gives off unwelcoming vibes. I saw one child go inside one day and the teacher mumbled something to kid. Like who does that? If you don’t have the patience to manage a day care where parents trust that you will treat their kids well, then just don’t run it.

Both of our kids (a toddler and a baby) are enrolled at La Petite and we couldnt be happier. The staff is outstanding and we feel incredibly confident that our kids are going to have a great experience every day, including learning new skills, socialization, and having fun. We would highly recommend La Petite.

This center rates my highest approval of 5 stars. I started my kids both here at an early age of 6 weeks and couldnt be more happier with the transitions of going back to work at ease. My 4 year old comes home excited and overwhelmed with all that he is doing and learning at the center I believe he is well prepared for kindergarten next year. Since he has been in La Petite my son has partaking in Soccer, Spanish, Yoga, Cooking class, and Martial arts. My 2 month old is adjusting so well, love being able to track his day on the app and seeing the videos of his smiling face doing activities at a young age. Shout out to Ms. Amber who my oldest son adores, and he enjoys Ms. Dana she has him prepped for Big K he is not afraid. I have to give a shout out to Ms. Joy who has been there since my first son started and is now taking care of my baby boy. I couldnt have gone wrong with making the decision to choose La Petite-Cary.

My son has been going here since he was 8 months old (almost 3 years old now) and has learned so much! They have a lot of activities and events for the kids and parents throughout the year. Since the start of the pandemic, they have taken extra safety precautions to ensure their staff and the kids remain safe. I highly recommend!

My son loves all his teachers at La Petite. The school does all kinds of fun activities to make sure the kids are always learning and having fun. The school has also done a very good job adjusting to the COVID-19 precautions.

Strongly recommend this place... My kids are 5 and 3, and the staff at La Petite Academy of Cary have truly cared for them. My kids been attending for almost 2 years, and its by far been the best facility weve been through (our third due to relocating). The staff really cares and it shows. Even during COVID, they reserved an area to keep our 5yo (and others) starting Kindergarten to do virtual learning. THAT IS COMMITMENT - and its not easy. 2020 wouldve been a VERY different vibe if we had our 5yo at home. My hair wouldve been GONE. So I am LEGIT thankful for them.They also use an app called Brightwheel where you can get updates about your kid(s) throughout the day regarding meals, diapers, naps, activities, and PHOTOS. The staff can also direct message with you on there for streamlined communication.If youre looking for childcare, look no further. Great place.

I had to use my fiance log in, but we are please to have both our kids in this center since the early stages. Me being a daycare staff myself for 7 years now and we chose for our kids to attend la petite instead of where I work for the great quality, organization, and great staff. Both my boys are receiving awesome experiences and we couldnt be more pleased.- Antoine Holzendorf

LPA Cary has been our kids second home for four years. We couldnt be happier with the care, love and early education all three of our girls have received (and will continue to receive) at this center. Teachers and directors go out of their way to make the environment fun and friendly for children and staff with spirit weeks and dress-up days and awesome arts and crafts (our girls favorite).We are also confident about LPAs COVID protocols. They are meticulous with their procedures and we feel good about sending our young children to the center. We couldnt ask for a better place for our girls to spend their days!

Our grandson started at LaPetite at about 4 months old. He is now 4 years old and our experience has been phenominal. The staff & Director are incredible! Our grandsons growth & development has been beyond measure. We now have a second grandchild that is currently enrollled at LaPetite as well and we feel confident that our grandsons are having a great experience every day, even during these trying times in our lives with the pandemic. We would highly recommend LaPetite Academy to anyone who might be looking for top of the line, safe, & worry free, care for their children.

We started our son here during COVID. Working in public health, we sought out a childcare provider that was serious about COVID safety. Out of 11 facility tours, director Justina’s dedication to keeping the safety and health of the staff and children first, won us over. Our son runs to the door every morning and loves all the staff. We love getting updates (diaper changes, activities, meals) during the day through the Brightwheel app. I feel involved, even during COVID times. Our son’s development has exploded since starting. We love the school activities and parent involvement in school wide activities. Highly recommend.

This has been just a spectacular experience for our family. All of the staff is warm and welcoming from the time you come in. They are never too busy to say hi, even have a quick conversation. The teachers seem to truly care about each child and do their very best so that they have a good experience. Fun events are planned throughout the year. If you visit you will see how much everyone cares for the children, the classrooms, and about being friendly and welcoming.

My daughter has been at La Petite Baines Ct. for the past several months. She was welcomed with open arms and has had such caring teachers that have provided educational activities where I can tell she has progressed so much both socially as well as in her vocabulary. They have not only fostered her learning, but provided a safe place for her to just be a kid. She comes home singing new songs and doing baby yoga!? This has been a wonderful environment for her to learn and grow!

My son has been at La Petite Baines Ct since he was 3 months old, hes now 3 years old and in the Preschool program. I find it hard to believe the reviews of the teachers not feeding the babies, I never experienced that problem, nor did the other moms that have had their infants there (you know moms talk!), whom Ive become close with as our children have been growing together, at this daycare.The staff at this location are amazing, there isnt high turnover of teachers, so they know your child and you, they participate in continuing education, providing the highest quality of care and education for the children. At La Petite, my son is provided options to learn and grow, through soccer, Spanish, yoga, Sign Language, organized State certified curriculum, as well as, water play during the summer months, to name a few.At three years old my son knows, how to spell his first name, read numbers up to 10, count to 20, he knows his colors and the different variations (light blue vs blue), appropriate social skills, how to ride a peddle bike, and much more. More than what a three old has typically learned at this stage in life. Its because of the teachers and the education he is receiving.I visited five daycare centers before choosing La Petite Baines Ct. I worked in daycare for 4 years, as an assistant lead teacher of a two year old room, as well as 1 year in the infant room. This is a State accredited five star daycare, they exceed those standards based of my personal and professional experience, and my childs development.Bumps in the road happen at every daycare, but if you want minimal bumps, I highly recommend La Petite Baines Ct.

If you have an active child, an adventurous child, a child with developmental delays, or a child that does not otherwise fit into the box do not enroll them here. Staff did not recognize developmental delays for my child. When the new director Ms Shearing came in she immediately decided she did not want my son in her center. She kicked him out without any warning or notice putting me in an incredible bind as a single working mother. I asked if he could stay just until I found somewhere else as he had been attending over a year with the same issues and it had not been a problem until she came in. She refused and was very hateful and condescending.

Review №42

My experience at La Petite Academy was horrible. My daughter started there around 8/9 months; they were unsuccessful in having her drink her bottle- which led her to being hungry each day she came home. I sent extra food from home so that she could eat and the Director decided that she didnt want me bringing in food from home anymore and told the staff to not feed my baby without my consent. To make matters worse, we went on vacation and owed a balance of $400, when we returned we could only pay $380, and the Director Lauren Kipper told us that we could pay that amount but our child could not stay! Since then, I havent been back. The Director is unprofessional and has a NASTY attitude. Dont send your kids there!!
