La Petite Academy on S. Scarborough

"Joni and the La Petite staff have been nothing short of amazing. Leaving my infant for the first time was exceptionally nerve wracking, but Pauline, Joni, and the staff have made my daughter feel so loved, and in turn made me have full confidence leaving my daughter with them. I can not recommend La Petite enough."

"We have had 3 of our kids in their care over the years, but currently have 1 child there. We have had a few directors during our time, but staff turnover seems less than other daycares I've seen. The current and previous director have both been incredibly accommodating when it comes to schedules. I love the app they use to share photos, videos and information about the day my child is having. Getting those photos are a high point of my work day, knowing my child is doing something fun. The classrooms are kept neat and clean and staff are friendly."

"Best daycare hands down... AMAZING teachers/ staff. Caring, loving, Knowledgeable, and so darn funny! My daughter was ahead of her entire class when she started kindergarten and my son is on the same track! They have a really cute graduation when the kids finish pre-K and are about to head off to kindergarten. Never had any issues here like I've had at previous daycares. I would and do recommend them to everyone!"

"DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD HERE! Our 1 year old was alone in a room unattended and bawling when mom picked her up. She wasn't even stopped or questioned by any employee upon grabbing her child off the floor as there was simply no one around. We ran into a situation where we needed a 1 day sitter and had to pre pay them $500 dollars. We used that one day and opted never to return. Imagine how traumatic it must be for a mother to seperate from her child to go back into the work force with all the anxiety that accompanies, only to find their baby sitting in the middle of a room crying hysterically with no adults around. My girlfriend was so traumatized she refused to take our daughter to any daycare until she's old enough to verbalize if something is wrong. Stay away from this place because your child could get seriously hurt or worse! They do not keep proper staff to child ratios and refuse to refund any tender paid. I sincerely believe they should and will be closed down soon. We've reported them."

"You get what you pay for, usually. It's a decent place and they have nice features such as a learning program, computer system to stay up to date on daily activities, etc... Generally worth the money considering prices of other places. But they did not communicate well about up-front costs; they promised me a discount, but did not deliver when it was time to enroll. Enrollment was a pain, nobody seemed to know anything, and communication was poor."
