La Petite Academy on Rio Vista Dr 3615 Rio Vista Drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80917

"I tried reaching out to see get more information, couldn’t even get a reply back. Yet I get promotion emails from them all the time. If I can’t even get a simple response and no one ever contacts back why would I feel safe sending my kid here? Yeah I’ll pass. I wouldn’t send my kid here."

"First time picking up my grandchild and I was NOT identified. I even asked three different times if they wanted my id and no one said yes. They allowed me to walk out with her and I didn’t even have to sign for her. Needless to say after 2 days there we pulled her out. We won’t leave her with someone who has no regards for her safety"

"I wanted so badly to like this childcare! Unfortunately my child’s SECOND day at this facility my child was sent home with an adult without being checked out or having an ID checked. They were asked 4 times to check the ID and then just said “she was busy” I guess enrolling new students is more important than keeping current ones safe! I called to disenroll and Amanda said my child was released because they recognized the baby the adult was holding. Great, now two children are with an adult who you have no idea of. This is unacceptable. I have worked in childcare, my kids have been enrolled in care at another place since 6 weeks old and there are ALWAYS ID checks no matter what. I am so disappointed. If you care about your child’s safety do not send them here. It’s not mom anxiety your feeling on the tour, it’s the bad vibes of this whole building!"

"The district manager has a sense of entitlement and thinks what she has to say is more important and will overtalk you regardless. She demands respect. Respect is earned. We all came into this world the same and we leave the same. At the end of the day you Alexandra are no different than anyone else outside of your little title. I am glad my kids are no longer enrolled at a center based off the 20 minute conversation we had. I am even more grateful my husband found employment elsewhere. The director of this facility text my husband Tuesday 7/26 after he no longer worked there and asked if we could keep the kids home because they were short staffed. Your staffing issues aren’t our problem as paying customers. There is no integrity here. I even told the district manager on the phone today about Heidi’s inappropriate request. And this isn’t the first time we’ve been asked to keep the kids home because of their staffing problems. As a director FIGURE it out….. that’s your job. The only thing I’m grateful for is the opportunity for employment for my husband during this in between time until he found something in his career field. And that was only after being asked on a weekly basis to please apply. Deuces!"

"I have nothing but great things to say about La Petite. My son came from a school where he wasn’t truly progressing, because there wasn’t much of a curriculum. After going to La Petite, my son has made leaps and bounds. He is so knowledgeable, above his age level in many aspects, and he has learned to use his words when upset all because of the guidance and help of his teachers. I know without a doubt that my son will be kindergarten ready all thanks to the hard work and extensive curriculum that La Petite has. The director, Heidi, is always a joy to speak with, and she always addresses any questions I have. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone for their kiddos in early childhood education!"
