I had my son in this daycare for maybe a couple of months and decided to pull him out because of…read morethe manager Stacy. I have never encountered a daycare manager with such a bad attitude like she would have. On different occasions she's been extremely rude to me for just trying to ask simple questions. The first time was because my sons father had picked him up on a Friday so Monday morning I needed to do my swipe for that Friday he had picked him up and I noticed that my sons name wasn't on list for missed swipes so I waited for Stacy to come back to the front so I could ask her what time he was picked up so I could do my swipe and she replied extremely rudely and said "that's a courtesy, we don't even have to post it" and I was completely taken back by that response so I responded "I understand that but his name isn't even on here". Which mind you if you miss a swipe and a few days go by you owe them $30, which I already had to pay them a couple weeks prior because they didn't put him on that list before and I didn't know. The second occasion which ultimately led me to take him out of the daycare was because my sons father went to drop him off at 8:30 in the morning and because he didn't have the dhs card (which he isn't even allowed to have because it's my case) she turned him away which has never happened before and wouldn't allow my son to go in the daycare, my sons father wound up bringing him to my job because he had to go to work, so I left my job to take him back up to the daycare to check him in and do the swipe and she turned him away AGAIN, this time because it was 9:05 and they're "suppose to be there by 9" which he would have been if they would have just let his father drop him off and I could have came and done the swipe as soon as I could. She then started to argue with me that he couldn't come without swipes so I proceeded to look at the swipe list and point out the EIGHT other kids who have been dropped off without a swipe in, she laughed in my face, was trying to belittle me and was talking down on me because I have dhs assistance and don't pay for the daycare. I had to miss work that day because she turned my son away and I tried to explain to her that I was a single mother and couldn't afford to miss because I get paid commission and she did not care. I had to file a formal complaint through corporate and decided to pull my son out of that daycare. It said a lot about Stacy's character that day and about the daycare and the type of people they chose to be in charge.

I'm usually not one to post negative reviews. I'm not posting this for any other reason other than…read moreto warn others. My daughter, Ellisyn, started daycare at La Petite in Norman on Alameda St. in September of 2021. Things started off okay. Fast forward to December, we watched the cameras and saw that a worker was letting her cry for 20-30 minutes in the floor without consoling her. I talked to management about it, and they assured me that it would be fixed. I get a call Monday, December 20 stating that Ellisyn won't stop crying and has a rash on her face and It would probably be best if I could come get her. I came and picked her up, took her to the pediatrician for the rash, and we went home. When we got home, I noticed she had two bruises on her eye, two bruises on either side of her mouth as if someone grabbed it, and the inside of her top lip was busted. I took her to her pediatrician the following day and had it checked out. Under his recommendation, I also filed a police and DHS report. La petite told me it was probably another kid, but they could try to get the video footage from that day and look it over, but then went back and said it is deleted after 48 hours. (It hadn't yet been 48 hours from the time of the incident.) Since the video footage "mysteriously gets deleted" there wasn't enough evidence to file anything against the daycare. I have a hard time believing it was a kid, considering she was in a room with other infants and she couldn't even sit up on her own at the time. It is absolutely heartbreaking to me that someone hurt my child, and is getting away with it. How someone could hurt an innocent baby is beyond me, it is a sad & scary world that we live in. I am sharing Ellisyn's story to warn others against sending their child here. I don't want anyone else's child to go through what Ellisyn had to. We are so grateful that her injuries were minor and there will be no life long repercussions from them... but who is to say that the next kids won't be worse? Please think twice before sending your kiddo here, it is not a good place.

I would say avoid this place at all costs. The amount of money you pay for what you actually get is…read moreridiculous. Our girl was in Pre-School and didn't learn anything new the entire year. She stayed at the same level as she was when she entered in August. Also the fee for "books" for a pre-school age child was a joke. They act like this is a private school instead of a day care, but your child does not receive the education that one would expect from a private school. And I agree with the above comment, if you complain about anything then your child and you are labeled a trouble maker making it impossible to keep the "teachers" accountable. Don't waste your money here.

The trouble started back in the fall when I was supposed to have a parent-teacher conference with…read moremy son's Pre-K teacher. It was cancelled, along with all of her conferences because she was sick. Totally understandable but they never rescheduled them. A week or so later, I get an email from the school administrator saying they thought my son needed to be screened for autism. Uh... all this without talking to ME first. But wait, things just got worse. In the beginning of January (2016), they sent home a survey asking parents to indicate whether their kids were returning to Trinity for the 2016/17 school year. At the bottom, they asked parents to list any suggestions or comments on the back. So, I did. I wrote that I was disappointed with the lack of communication back in the fall regarding my son and his supposed need for autism screening. I said I wished that my cancelled parent-teacher conference had been rescheduled so I could have been in the loop for this discussion. That very day, I got a note home from his teacher saying my son was being disruptive and causing problems. I also got a call from the school administrator about my son causing issues. From then on, it was notes home just about everyday. The worst part is that my son began to HATE going to school. Up until then, I had no problem taking him there in the morning. He never cried or put up a fuss. But from the day I wrote that note, he never wanted to go to school again. He would scream and beg me not to take him. And in the afternoon, a note home about his behavior. So he would then get a punishment and a lecture from me. Something was WRONG with this whole situation - and it wasn't my kid. It became so stressful I decided to withdraw him. So, I sent an email to the administrator (because I wanted it in writing). Still have NEVER heard from her regarding my son's withdrawal. Not even to acknowledge she received my email. Unless you're willing to never complain or offer criticism about your child's education and also have a perfectly behaved child, I would avoid this school. They enroll too many children in the classes and then if a child gets overstimulated or seeks attention (as I suspect was the case with my kiddo) they try to label him/her a problem or special needs child. I don't know what they were doing to make my son hate going there so much so suddenly, but I'm glad he's out now.
