I truly think it's the best place in Richmond for kiddos 2-5. I wish my kids could go here forever. We are so thankful for the amazing staff and incredible care at this school. The kids get to learn by playing, being around other children both older and younger than them, different rooms set up for them, and the year is sort of made by the kids interest, they play outside, parents can volunteer and see how the days go, and we know all the kids and their families. It's a very safe, welcoming, and comfortable space to be. Couldn't recommend it more!

Our son has learned so much over the last two years, and we feel very prepared for kindergarten. This is such a unique environment as it's a smaller preschool but inside is full of so much for the kids to discover. Each day is truly different with the imaginative activities borne from the children's ideas. Our son always came home happy (and tired!), having had a full day each week. I can't say enough about how sweet these teachers are, and how respectful and kind they treat the children. The teachers send pictures so you get to see what they're doing each day. We will miss robots and mud pies, and would highly recommend it.

I love that it is smaller than other centers and has a more close-knit feel. The new playground for toddlers & 2's is lovely with a shaded cover and no mulch. There's a large multipurpose room that they use like an indoor gym when the weather is poor. There was a lot of staff turnover the past 1-2 years, but they are now in a good groove and all seem to work well as a team.

Their flexible scheduling is incredibly convenient and I often marvel that everyone on staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. I really appreciate how conscientious everyone is about allergies and food sensitivities. Speaking of food... sometimes I look at the kids' menus for the week and wish that they could cater my meals, too!

Each billing period has something wrong with it. We have been charged over $800 in bogus fees. We gave them proof and they say it's fixed. Yet the next bill shows no changes. The front desk people are horrible. They can't do their job. The manager is never their to answer questions. They have an after school program but no bus for the children. My daughter got excepted to public pre-school but the daycare won't accept her to the after school program because she is four. They want to charge her as a full-time student. They have eliminated many programs that we pay for event though they have raised the rates. She has suffered a broken leg and a concussion since attending. DSS investigated but found no neglected. I gave them two stars because the teacher that work with the children are actually very good and teach them a lot. She is learning to count, read and speak Spanish. However, I do not recommend this school. It is a corrupt business and they don't care about the children.

They have come so far with her and Miss JaVonne, and we feel so lucky that our boys are in her class.

My son made friends and he actually is sad that summer camp is over, who could believe I am writing this now?... his fears are GONE and he's so ready to start school next week. He learned how to write his name, oh and perfected his English skills (we ONLY speak Spanish at home). Thank you, Thank you and Thank you!! Money well invested.

Pam, the director, clearly cares deeply about the kids and makes every family feel welcome from day one. The teachers we've worked with have all been excellent: very professional, communicative, and organized, but they still keep things fun and playful for the kids. We came from another daycare in the area and can say with confidence that La Petite is a massive upgrade. In just a few weeks, we've seen marked improvements in our son's behavior and how he interacts with other kids. There is a strong emphasis on the classroom as a community, and it really shows--children seem to learn how to play well together, take turns, and be considerate classmates. The structure and expectations in the classroom feel age-appropriate but still set them up for success. I can very easily see our son being more than ready for kindergarten in a couple of years. They keep the kids busy in the best way -- every day our son is learning something new, with lots of hands-on activities and exploration. The app is also fantastic; we get tons of updates and photos throughout the day so we always feel connected to what he's doing. My only (very minor) gripe is the parking lot -- it's a bit small and can get chaotic during peak drop-off and pickup times. But honestly, that's a small trade-off for the level of care and education our son is getting. Overall, we're extremely happy we made the switch and highly recommend La Petite of Glen Allen to other families.

The building is small and dated, but inside the walls of the classrooms the magic that happens makes the narrow halls and small facility seem like a very small afterthought. The learning that goes on in each classroom are lesson plans that are well thought out, delivered by teachers who pour their heart and soul into early childhood education. I would HIGHLY recommend this center to anyone looking for top notch childcare with a world class early childhood education. The staff and management are warm and friendly and DO THEIR VERY BEST to make each child and family feel welcome. Cannot say enough nice things! 10 stars if I could give it.
