La Petite Academy on Mason Road

"I am happy that my two grandsons are attending La Petite Academy School. In addition to increase their learning abilities to excel the staff and Management are doing an exceptional job with the children. As a grandmother, I APPROVE. Thanks again"

"I recently worked here. They are very unprofessional not only to the staff but to parents. It is a toxic environment to work in and a lot of mess/ drama. They don’t often follow policy or the rules put in place by the company. They try to cover their own tracks and do what’s best for management and not the center as a whole by pushing things under the rug except for Ms.Mae. She tries her best to keep things together for that center. Nadine Salmon the head director will sell you a dream during the enrollment process and never offer the services that was delivered to the parents prior to starting! Learning is not seriously enforced here!! They are not transparent with parents like they should be when things go wrong and I could keep going! Overall this center is not the best environment for your children if you are looking for a place to help the grow in all aspects."

"It seemed okay at first, but there are so many kids per teacher that you don't get very much info about their day. They do have the app updates, but not much info on how your kid is adjusting. One day, seemingly out of the blue, (after about 2 or 3 mths of attending), I got incident reports 2 days in a row that my son was hitting. Then the next day he got sent home. He was only 3 years old. It seems fine to take your kids here if they don't have any problems, but staff and admin don't seem to know how to handle a little problem behavior. I think most kids would do fine here, but my son tested as having a high IQ and gets frustrated easily. I put my son in a different daycare with more experienced staff and he did much better!"

"My three children (6, 5, and 4 months) attend La Petite on Mason Rd and they love the Director Mrs. Nadine, the management Mrs. Alley & Mrs. Kim, all of the teachers, and the cook (Mrs. Tasha)! My 4 month old just started attending and is happy to arrive every morning to be greeted by a smiling Miss. Hannah or Miss. Sommer. Everyone is friendly and great with the children. This daycare is a perfect fit for our family and we can’t imagine attending anywhere else. Plus the summer activities are amazing!"

"Please look at the department of family and child services website. This day care has had over 14 inspections in the past year with 29 deficiencies noted. This La Petite Academy, Directed by Nadine Salman, dropped off my 5 year old at the wrong elementary school and tried to cover it up with a lie and could not explain how the incident happened. When I contacted the district manager she assured me that her polices and procedures were effective. Really???? If they were then how did my child get left alone a different school? Both the director and the district manager tried to tell me that the principal of my child's school and myself were lying about the times that he was left at the wrong school."
