La Petite Academy of Chandler

Just stay away. My son was enrolled here for a couple of months in that time he was sent home with bite marks on his face and body. One occasion I picked him up and he was in different clothes they said he fell and had a bloody nose. Nobody called me. My final straw was when they told me another teacher was reported by someone else that she had pulled my son roughly by his arm and it was being investigated. They would not let me view any of the footage. And the director called me basically begging me not to make a big deal about it. Just stay away they clearly make poor choices and just let anyone work here.

Both of my daughters have attended La Petite over the course of the past 6 years, the youngest has been there since she was an infant. I highly recommend, ALL the teachers know the kids by name and personality. We tried other day cares prior to finding La Petite and there is a noticeable difference in quality of care. It costs a little more but it’s worth the peace of mind, especially when handing over your 3 mo old baby (probably one of the hardest things for a mother to do).

Our daughter just started in March and we already feel like the teachers are family. She is 5 months in the infant room and Miss Heather is great!! Being a first time mom navigating daycare is scary but Kelley, Tricia, and her teacher Heather all make it so easy. The Brightwheel app they use is amazing!! They will update you with pictures, fun activities, meals, diapers, naps, etc. Miss Amy, Miss Missy, and Miss Nora all spend time in the infant room as well and they each love these babies like they are their own. Someone told me “you know you found a great daycare when your child gets excited to see their teacher every day”. From the moment we walk in Carly is all smiles for her teachers and we are so thankful for them!

My daughter and son LOVE going to school at La Petitie Academy. They have lots of great activities and I can't believe how much they learn everyday. Mrs.Emily is our favorite and knows how to connect with our son Liam. But they all give a lot of personal attention to each child - which I think is so important. I couldn't be more happy with our experience!

We had a terrible experience with this daycare. Our daughter was consistently sent home for illnesses she did not have (fever, “contagious” diaper rash, hand foot and mouth) and was only allowed to return with a doctors note (costing us nearly $400.00 in copays for unnecessary sick visits) Her pediatrician actually laughed at the daycare for sending her home when we came in for the second time due to yet another “contagious” diaper rash she didn’t have. In all reality, our daughter was there for 8-9 hours a day and on some days was changed only 2-3 times which caused said diaper rashes. She was also bitten to the point of bruising by an unknown child. There was no accident report provided and none of the classroom teachers were even aware she had been bitten. The only positive thing I have to say about La Petite is that Ms. Tricia is truly amazing. After nearly 6 months at La Petite we moved our daughter to The Learning Experience and have never been happier. Our daughter adores her classroom teacher, is finally excited to go to school, and is diaper rash free due to being changed 5-6 times a day. I would recommend The Learning Experience to anyone with a 1-2 year old as their care has been far superior to that of La Petite.
