La Petite Academy of James Island

"I went here myself as a toddler, during the mid-2000s. Many core memories from this place. I have been searching for it for ages, and I finally found it. Phenomenal daycare, shoutout to Mrs. Cathy!"

"We have been going to La Petite on Nabors for over 7 years now. I don’t think I could ever say how much this facility and these people mean to us. They have taken care of our babies from 3 months old to now 7 and 3. Ms. Shannon and Ms Rebecca are amazing and are always kind and helpful. Ms Shaquana, Ms Lela, Ms Lois, Ms Khadijah, Ms Ashley, (to name a few) have handled all the stresses and responsibilities of wrangling a class full of littles with complete grace and composure. They make the days fun and are always greeting us with smiles and care. They make an extremely difficult job look easy. To us, it’s the most important job. We started our time at La Petite dropping off our 3 month old and crying with worry in the parking lot. Now we’re leaving (we’re moving) wondering how we’ll ever find a place as special."

"The children have better management experience than the director. There is no structure and the director seems to only be there to get childcare for her own daughter. The worst daycare experience we have experienced. I highly Recommend looking elsewhere until the management has changed. We pulled both kids because of safety concerns given the current director."

"A lot of turnover of teachers due to poor management. Minimal communication from the current director. Late notices of school being closed the next day(ex: 8pm and 10pm). Same day notices of the classes being closed (ex: 4am). Do not recommend taking your child here."

"Our 2 and a half has been at this location since he came into the world. Each stage he’s transitioned to has been met with great caring people and educators. I highly recommend them all."
