My children have been going to La Petite since June 2018. A previous director that shall remain…read moreunnamed seemed to cause quite a bit of drama and turnover among the staff.

Meh. Rates are going up in January. I absolutely loved my child's first teacher at Big Apple but…read morethe new one isn't very friendly and is just not as great as the first experience here. There was a surprise 80.00 annual fee that I just found out about when it hit my bank account. Overall its been pretty good, but all of these recent changes have me wanting to look elsewhere.

First, let me say we have a lot of experience with daycares, and I must admit that we are picky…read more So, it is saying a lot that we were blown away by this awesome school. My son has lots of energy, and other places have shown zero patience, but Mr. Mark and Miss Lauren were excellent with him from the beginning. Miss Lauren is now in the office with Miss Sheena, who is also awesome, but you could still be lucky enough to get Mr. Mark as your kid's teacher. I will detail below what we loved most about the school. 1. The curriculum was good, and my 4 year old son knows a ton of sight words. There is a detailed report that comes out every day about what the kids are learning, and they even started teaching them chess. I also love that there is structured learning without the classes being so ridged that a large portion of the kids can't sit through lessons. We've experienced places with no patience that have caused me to lose my patience based on the way my son has been treated. Not here.. great education while still understanding the needs of small children. They also have a large gym for the kids to blow off steam in bad weather. 2. The staff and owners go above and beyond to make this place special for kids, and make parents comfortable. My husband even observed one of the owners helping another parent change a flat tire. They had a Santa for the kids at Christmas, hosted Trunk or Treat for Halloween, and provided a free session with a nutritionist to help parents with picky eaters. Never have I felt so confident that we had partners in the process of raising up our son, and I have never known a daycare where I felt more confident that they actually cared about my child. 3. The children are happy. You can see it in all the pictures. You can see it in their attitudes. My son made good friends here, and still asks to see them. There is also a ton of parent involvement. We ended up moving for a job, and I actually cried over pulling my son from this school. When you've had bad experiences, you truly appreciate the really good ones. I am grateful for our time at Goddard Verona and would encourage any parents reading this review to enroll.

It's not a struggle to get him out the door and to school. He knows where he's going and looks forward to it. The teachers are great and the lesson plans are creative, educational and FUN. There's a great variety of things for the kids to do. The facility is brand new and with exceptional amenities and security. The Director and Owners are on-site and very involved. They've even got my son eating his vegetables (since snacks AND lunch are provided). Lots of pros. I have not encountered any cons yet. As of now, we could not be more satisfied with ALL the school has to offer!! I would refer, and have referred other parents to the school.

A lot of great experiences at this La Petite Academy! Our daughter started at this childcare center…read moresince she was an infant and grew up with these amazing teachers! She learned so much and also had a lot of fun with her friends there! More recently, our son who was born prematurely also started to attend the nursery at La Petite. His teachers made sure he receives the best possible care and we were really happy to witness the enormous progress he made since he started there! In addition to the classroom activities, there are also tones of fun activities throughout the year for the little ones as well as their families, including family picnics at the center, trick or treating for Halloween or ice cream socials. We liked the caring, loving and fun environment at this childcare center and felt lucky that our kids were able to be a part of the Big La Petite family!
