I wanted to share my heartfelt gratitude and positive experience with the Montessori daycare my…read morechild attended. From the very first week, I have been consistently impressed by the nurturing and stimulating environment that the daycare offers. The staff at the Montessori daycare are nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication to each child's growth and development is evident in every interaction. They create a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes every child feel special and valued. It's clear that the educators are passionate about their work and genuinely care for the children. It's truly heartwarming to see the bond they build with each child, fostering a sense of trust and security. One of the standout features of this Montessori daycare is its commitment to fostering independence and curiosity in children. ICM provides a lot of hands-on activities. It was wonderful to see my child so engaged and enthusiastic about learning every day and seeing the updates through brightwhell. The summer program has themed days which was so fun for my little one to look at the calendar and get excited (water days, field trips, ice cream trucks, etc). The communication from the daycare is excellent. I appreciate the regular updates and the open lines of communication between the staff and parents. It's reassuring to know that I can always reach out with any questions or concerns and receive prompt and thoughtful responses. They pay close attention to the children's behavior and actually noticed and brought to my attention that my child may need behavioral therapy, which she is in and has thrived. Overall, I couldn't be happier with our experience at the Montessori daycare. It has provided a strong foundation for my child's education and development, and I am incredibly grateful for the positive and enriching environment they gave my daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing, stimulating, and caring place for their child. Thank you for all that you do!

He stayed at La Petite until he started kindergarten and built such loving and supportive relationships with his teachers over the years. He was well prepared, even ahead of the game, when it came to kindergarten readiness. My daughter started attending at 6 months old. She loves the friends and teachers she has here and looks forward to coming to see them each day. I feel so comfortable knowing my kids are happy and thriving in this environment. Teachers genuinely care about the kids, practice conscious discipline and Montessori techniques, and guide children through play-based learning to achieve new skills and knowledge at each level of development. Kids get plenty of outside play time when the weather is nice and even have their own garden! As a professor of child development and as a mother I can't recommend La Petite of St. Joseph enough

The teachers dress like they don't have jobs (sleep pants, yoga pants, tang tops, and slippers). There staff turn over is ridiculous! They never have the same teacher in a classroom for very long. They leave themselves out of ratio all the time and never have the amount of staff they need for the amount of children they have. They will always sent kids home sick to maintain ratio so the director doesn't have to step in. The building is very dirty and ran down. The overall feeling of this place is negative!
