La Petite Academy of Madison

"Our little one went to La Petite and really enjoyed her experience there. My favorite part was how consistently the staff enforced standards with teachers and parents. I think it creates a great atmosphere for the kids and teachers where they can all thrive. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking childcare in the Madison area."

"We started off really liking this daycare a lot, but over time things changed. Some staff are genuinely very friendly and lovely, but overall there are too many cons to the center to keep me from recommending it to another parents. Kids are tossed around from classroom to classroom frequently throughout the day. I can name at least one time that a teacher lost track of my son -- I walked in to see him sitting by himself at the front of the building with no supervision. The staff turnover there is really bad, except for the genuinely kind staff that I previously mentioned. Additionally, parents are not informed about extra charges and classroom changes. The video and app that they provide is nice, but overall, more consistent communication about my child from the teacher and director is what I was looking for. Overall, the center isn't a bad place (and it's "reasonable" for childcare in the area), but it's definitely not the best."

"My four year old daughter has been attending La Petite for 2 1/2 years and she and I both LOVE this daycare!!! Every class my daughter has transitioned into has always been an easy transition and each set of teachers in each class loved my daughter as their own. I have not ever felt concerned or worried that my daughter was not getting the appropriate care that she needed. Another great resource La Petite offers is 'The Bright Wheel' app, where the teachers send you the activities they do throughout the day, what they eat, at younger ages, the potty training or diaper changing information, pictures and videos of the activities and lessons for each day, messages and reminders about various activities. You are free to message the teacher in your Childs room at any time and they get back to you fast! I feel in constant communication with La Petite and my daughter and I love that! I could be having a challenging day at work and I get that sweet picture or video of my daughter and that rough day fades away. La Petite just launched the newest app called ' Watch Me Grow ', where you can see a live video feed of your child's class and see what is going on in their class room in real time. That says so much about the confidence and integrity of the daycare that they want you to see what they are doing all day with your child. I love it! You will not be disappointed choosing La Petite to care for your child or children. They will be so loved and so well taken care of. They will learn so much academically. They will be so well behaved; there have been times, I tease some of the teachers that I want to take them home with me because my daughter listens to them so much better than me! LOL! ;-) It's GREAT!"

"I absolutely love La Petite in Madison!! All of the teachers and staff are so wonderful and they truly care about all of the kids!!! The educational programs they use are fantastic which is very important to me! They have an excellent pre-k program, and I have no doubt that my daughter will be MORE than ready for Kindergarten next year!! My 4 yo daughter has been going here since she was 8 weeks old, and my son will also attend here once he is 8 weeks old! Highly recommend!!!!"

"Well I will start off saying that I love La Petite. I'm a very protective parent. It was important that wherever my child attended was as close to home as possible. My daughter has been there for the last 8 months and I have never had an issue. Each teacher treats her as if she is their own. Most days my toddler doesn't even tell me goodbye when I drop her off because she's in the arms of her teacher. When I pick her up each day she is clean and laughing. There have been days she has spilled food on her clothes and the daycare actually washes her clothes for me. I always receive photos of her via email and seeing her smiling face assures me she is okay. As a working mom you need peace of mind while your children are out of sight and La Petite gives me that peace! She isn't two yet and she is singing songs and teaching me something knew that she has learned in school each week. Great daycare and great management."
