What parents say

Incredible. We have both kids here, infant class and PreK, the older one has been at La Petite over 2 years. Every teacher is sweet, compassionate and supportive of each child’s experience/developmental milestones. There’s excellent communication through the app and parent conferences to discuss how the child is doing. At any given time, the teacher and the leadership know exactly what kind of day your child is…

We’ve been taking our son to la petit in ventura since he was 10 months old. It’s been fantastic. It was difficult on my wife and I to come to terms with dropping him off somewhere when we had to return to work, the staff, communication and access to cameras made it easier for us. Teachers are very attentive and caring. The school makes it easy on parents, great hours and they provide food / diapers / potty…

La Petite has provided our family the best daycare experience. The structure and lessons that they implement have advanced our child greatly. The teachers are wonderful, the admin staff is approachable and flexible; over all, it’s so safe. I love the security and the ability to watch live video streaming. Thank you La Petite!

Victoria Cortez Gibas · 5/5 on Google · 2 years ago

Overcrowded and understaffed. The child to teacher ratio unmanageable. Classrooms are loud and chaotic. The staff are all running on fumes. They don't answer the phone or return messages. Communication with parents and amongst themselves is dismal. Until they can properly staff themselves, seek care for your child elsewhere.
