The teachers and leadership staff at this Des Moines La Petite is the best place to find loving and kind educators. They are such a wonderful team and make me feel confident that my son is being taken care of in the best way possible. I see them interacting with my son and teaching him things such as math, science, and emotions even at such a young age. They communicate all the time and throughout the day. Even when my son has been out due to sickness, they reach out to see how he is doing and say they hope he feels better. Ms. Jenny, Ms. April, Ms. Carol, Ms. Miranda, Ms. Janie, Ms. Luchua, and everyone else at this location are some of the most knowledgeable and loving teachers you will ever meet. Des Moines La Petite is the best place to enroll your child.

My four and a half year old son currently attends La Petite. I am much happier with this center than with his previous center. Everyone is friendly and acknowledges us in the mornings and afternoons, which I appreciate. Most importantly-my son seems to really enjoy going there and always seems happy when I pick him up. Overall, happy with the director and teachers at La Petite. No complaints :)

My two kids go to La Petite Academy in Des Moines and I can't say enough about how good this daycare place is. All the daycare teachers are so nice and helpful. My 2 kids are 6&7 now and they have been going to La Petite since they where 18 months old. The sad thing is that they don't take baby's the youngest is 18mo. I have a 7 month old daughter I take down the street and can't wait tail she is 18mo so I can transfer her to La Petite. La Petite interacts with the children in such a positive way they teach them new things everyday and help them grow in every way. They will work with you to get things done such as potty training, winging you kid of the bottle if that's a problem or just simply teaching them how to talk. If this daycare is in your area I recommend you try it out.

My oldest just started kindergarten this year. She has learned so much at La Petite SW 9th I know that she has an advantage over kids who attend other child care programs. Both my children have so much fun and learn in the process. Records are kept on their progress and the teachers are always helpful in any way they can be. The staff truly love their kids.

I love La Petite. My brother and I attended when we were younger and my now 4th grader has been attending since he was just a toddler. I think it says a lot that several of the teachers have been there for many many years. I feel safe leaving my child with their care.
