    We have absolutely loved our experience at Dancing Moose. The teachers are so intentional with the…read morecurriculum, and we've seen our child thrive not only academically but socially as well. The campus is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. From the secure fingerprint entry to being greeted by an administrative team that knows every child by name, it's clear they truly care. Each day I feel confident leaving my child in such a peaceful, welcoming environment. I recommend Dancing Moose to anyone who will listen. If your child is close to preschool age, get on the waitlist now!

    If I could give zero stars, I would…read more My son started attending this location in 2024. On his second day, I received a message from his teacher stating that he was disrupting nap time, being noisy, and causing other issues. I understood that adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for young children, so I took their concerns seriously and worked with my son to reinforce quiet time. However, I continued receiving messages from his teacher daily, and it reached the point where I was anxiously anticipating another complaint. One day, I noticed his nap blanket was covered in leaves, as if he had been outside. When I asked him, he told me that he did his "quiet time" outside. When we inquired about this, the school denied it. Later, I was called into a meeting with the behavioral technician, Jessica Triptow. At the time, I had no idea about her legal troubles (you can google it) but in hindsight, knowing she was involved in my child's education is deeply unsettling. During the meeting, we were advised to enroll our son full-time to help him adjust to the routine. He was later moved to another class with a more patient teacher. During another meeting, I had the opportunity to review the classroom cameras and witnessed a disturbing incident where a teacher forcefully picked up a child who refused to go inside after playtime and dropped him roughly. Thankfully, the child was not an infant, but it was still highly concerning. Eventually, the school suggested that my son be evaluated for possible autism this recommendation was made by Jessica Triptow (which by the way, made it to the news for very disturbing reasons, you can google it) Shortly after, we were informed that he could not return unless we provided a classroom "shadow" at our own expense, so basically paying another person to do their job . This entire experience was frustrating, stressful, and deeply disappointing. In retrospect, I am relieved that we decided to remove our child from this location. I have since spoken to other parents who shared similar concerns about this center. While I hope other locations uphold higher standards, I cannot in good conscience recommend this one. I initially had high expectations, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing like what we had hoped for. Another shady thing is that they hide their google reviews, I guess I should've seen those red flags.

    La Petite has been JUST what I have needed in a pre-school program…read more I am a single mom and because I share custody of my son he is only there certain days. The La Petite staff has always been extremely accommodating with my schedule with my son. Sometimes he needs to go extra when I have him over spring or over fall break and they have always been willing and able to work with me. I cannot say how nice that is! Along with the schedule, my son genuinely looks forward to going to preschool/daycare. He wakes up in the morning and asks, "Can I go to school now?! I don't want to miss Ms Linda." (Who is his absolute favorite) I'll admit, after a few changes in ownership over COVID I was really worried about what would happen. However, I have been extremely impressed by all of the staff members at La Petite Academy in East Lehi. They genuinely care and love my son. They serve healthy (but yummy!) meals, have a clean atmosphere and have amazing curriculum that makes school fun and a good environment for learning. I don't have anything negative to say. I guess if I really tried hard to think of something to say is that we want more Ms. Linda! Thank you for providing a safe, fun and loving environment for my son, La Petite!

I never had an issue with them or saw staff doing any mean stuff to the kids. (They have live streaming). Now I moved to SLC and comparing with SLC academy, they were far better and passionate about what they doing. From director Tony to toddlers & infants staff, every one was awesome!!

    My bonus baby's time at La petite in Lehi started out well and progressively went down hill since…read morethe begining of this year. I am writing this with dads agreement. There was a change in management earlier this year and since then the issues started. Incident reports went for weekly to daily occurrences. Communication from the teachers (and I use the term loosely) was not happening. Daily questions from dad and mom of how our sons day were, was answered of it was good, he had a good day nothing happened but here's an incident report. About a month to a month and a half before we dis-enrolled him a teacher stated that every child was placed on a behavior plan and it was started a few days prior to communicating it to the parents. Later that week another teacher said it was just our son due to his behaviors after giving me another incident report. I asked why it was not communicate to us prior and what was going on. I then received the run around and no real answers except to speak to the front desk person. There wasn't a front desk person when I went in but I did run into her on the way out in a hallway not at the desk. Same questions and again no answers. I did let dad know and we began watching the cameras more closely. There is also another problem that escalated into restraining and secluding our son with out supervision. The teacher stated that they would strap him into a high chair so he didn't eat off of other kids plates or the floor. After watching the cameras we saw where he was strapped into the high chair pushed up against the wall under the coat cubbies and not checked in for over 10 mins at a time. He would throw a fit and try to get out and almost pull the chair over but no one would check on him. This was the teachers way of time out. Again nothing was communicated to his parents, dad or mom about him being in time out. This is restraining and secluding a child and child endangerment. We did attempt to speak to management which they said they weren't aware of any of this going on. They took the high chair out of the room after our meeting and stated that the teacher was also bringing moved to a different classroom because she couldn't handle it in the toddler classroom. This was in place before we even spoke to management. Management also stated they would schedule time for us to discuss what was happening with the teachers. After a week nothing was scheduled so dad and I addressed concerns with the teacher that was moved when we picked him up. The teacher said he was hitting kids and that's why she started the behavior chart. She would chart that he had incidents 20 times or more a day but couldn't tell why it was happening. She said she tried time out and hugs. Again questions of why nothing is communicated to the parents, why other things like redirection was not tried and if those punishments weren't working prior to the behavior chart then why continue them were asked but weren't answered except with I'm not a behavioral therapist. He did also receive an incident report that day as well. Management did talk to us again that day and admitted that they did know what all was going on and when questioned why they didn't tell us when we spoke the last time about it she shut down and stopped communicating with us as well. The next day they called dad and stated I was not allowed to come back as the staff felt threatened and parents were concerned. I never threatened anyone, never cussed at anyone or wasnt disrespectful. Yes we were frustrated and upset by the neglectful treatment of our son which is completely understandable. I asked questions about what was going on and didnt allow the teacher and management to run around the issues Like they would do with dad and mom. We did watch closely after that while he was still attending until we could find another daycare. But the last straw where we dis-enrolled him without another place to go was the day dad got a message asking if he knew about the scratch on his thigh that they saw at 8am but notified dad at 1pm. He said no he knew nothing. His day went on as usual. Picked him up signed the incident report and went home. At bath time we saw the scratch. It was more than a scratch. It was in fact a bite mark that was so hard it bruised his thigh and broke skin in 4 places through his pants. This happened with in an hour of him being there with one other child in the room and a teacher. The teacher wasn't watching the 2 kids long enough for it to happen but could tell us the 20 times he hit another kid? We received a total of 11 copies out of what feels like a hundred incident reports as well. We've requested copies of all of them multiple times. Answered with yes we will get them to you but only 11 were provided. We do plan to report the faculty as well. If they are doing this to one child i would imagine it will happen to others. If your child is in La Petite in Lehi I'd use them with severe caution and advise to look else where for childcare.
