La Petite Academy of Lake Mary

I really love this facility. My daughter Stella has been attending since July 2024 and from the very beginning Ms Wanda and Ms Salomie were patient with my strong personality of a daughter. Truly all the women are in there . Ms Megan, Ms Marissa &Ms Narissa run this place so well since the facility has undergone some staff and management changes. , Jessica ,Conner and Skylar &Nakita are all amazing women. They truly care about the littles and I couldn’t be more grateful for these women. Every issue I’ve ever presented them with they have always handled immediately and with so much grace. I’m a first time mom and am very particular about the care i want for my child and i always feel heard and seen when i’ve expressed any concern. Plan on keeping my baby here til she’s school age ready because she loves it that much. She talks so clearly from when she first began , her little brain is developing so much I love getting my sprout updates of her building things and having fun thru out the day with friends.

Our family loves La Petite Academy in lake Mary! Our son Roman has been going there since July of 2024 and has grown so much because of them. I honestly believe if he was at home with me he wouldn’t be as advanced as he is. He loves Ms. Wanda, Ms. Megan, Ms Skylar, Ms. Jessie, Ms. Cameron and Ms. Connor so much! You can truly tell they love your kids and care about them! Ms Marissa and Ms Narissa are great at running the place and wouldn't trust anyone else to do so. If you ever have concerns or see something you don’t like they address it right away. People are to hard on daycares. Us parents are the hardest to please! I could ramble on about how much we love them. Thank you La Petite Lake Mary for loving and taking care of our son!

La Petite Academy in Lake Mary has been an excellent choice for our daughter. She is now two and has been enrolled since she was 9 months old. The teachers in charge of the infants, toddlers and twos are truly wonderful and care for the children's well being. They are also extremely flexible with a busy mom's schedule. Miss Jessie is always so kind. I am happy to leave my daughter in their care.

**Disclaimer my child is 2** My child lost his tooth on HIS FIRST DAY. I decided to not let him go back until the next week. I have never had any issues with this ever before at his previous daycare. Well, his second day back he ended up getting a cut and a black eye basically from "falling" again. I decided to take that day off to watch the cameras to see if they were doing their jobs. I sat and sat and watched the camera. The teacher was grabbing the children(s) arms above the wrist as well as the upper arm and pulling them to sit down. I watch many times the teacher(s) not paying attention and I watched a younger child laying on the floor and then another little girl stomping as hard as she could on his hands, back, and stomach. If that were my son I would have drove down in a heartbeat. I was so excited to enroll him in this daycare however THIS location IS NOT IT. Those two days he was there my child came back home starving literally crying because he was so hungry and thirsty and every time I even drove in the parking lot he would start screaming and crying and saying no no no... I have never ever had any issues like this before. On top of that him being in there 2 days I still paid his daycare fee for the two weeks which is above 300 dollars and they did not offer any composition after stating to me that they would work with me while I got my ELC transferred. Not saying that I need it, but it would have been nice of them to accommodate due to everything that happened. Please mommy's be cautious.

I can not stress the quality of this school enough. The director Kristen, and assistant director Bianca are absolutely amazing. I have read some poor reviews from years ago, and I would like to assure parents this school has been completely reformed. I was a stay at home mom for almost 2 years and just enrolled my son, I was expecting like any child an extreme transition and on his very first day he adjusted so well and loves the school. He has 2 teachers, MS. Kendra did an absolute phenomenal job with my son and keeping me up to date constantly on the app. I didn’t even feel the need to send a lot of messages because they are constantly updating you and reassuring you that your child is adjusting. The pictures made my work day absolutely enjoyable and gave me the peace of mind I needed as a non working mom for over 2 years. The food menu is absolutely phenomenal, the schedule and curriculum is fantastic. A girlfriend of mine has worked for child care facilities for over 7 years and told me their schedule is the best she has ever seen. The tuition is not inexpensive, but you truly can not place a dime on the care of your child. I knew this school was the place for my son from the moment I toured with Kristen and 3 teachers came by and got down to greet my son. Their competitor, so we thought was ladybird academy on Rhinehart and we had a terrible experience after la petite lake Mary setting the bar so high. Parents want to know that their child is not only going to be cared for, but that their children are ACTUALLY cared about by staff. I want to thank la petite for putting my mind at ease and making this transition as smooth as possible for a mother who was terrified of day care facilities. Though it is considered child care, they are so educationally based I refer to it as school. Thank you to everyone at la petite you are angels, your kindness, your patience and their passionate for children is unmatched. I see my son here till he starts kindergarten. Thank you to all the amazing staff, teachers who work together to make this the most pleasant experience for my child. You guys are amazing!
