La Petite Academy of Avon

We loved our daughter going to La Petite! I was so sad having to pull her out after being laid off from my job. From Miss Tiffany, to Ms Sue and the other teachers, my daughter thrived and did so much in her time there (infant to year and a half) . It was such a caring environment and I never worried when she was in their care. Would recommend them to anyone in the Avon area.

I searched far and wide for a nurturing, multicultural environment in the Avon community for my one year old, but not until I met Ms. Belita, Tyla, and Tiffany was I confident I had found the right place for my baby girl. They are always kind, patient and understanding. My daughter has flourished in their care! SO GLAD I no longer feel it necessary to drive 45 minutes EAST for quality childcare.

The staff at La Petite in Avon, IN are incredible. We trust them completely with the safety and education of our children. Please consider them for daycare services for all ages.

The website was easy to navigate through and the assessment was very thorough and I hope I get the job.

What a great and clean facility! My cousins love it there!

The most loving, clean, and secure environment I have ever found!!!!!!

The best teachers and security. 😍😍😍

So I actually worked here and I can honestly say that if I had any kids of my own they would never step foot in this facility. The management is absolutely awful. They have no idea what they are doing and lie on everything. They asked teachers to lie everytime state came. I started in the school age room but decided that was not for me or really for anyone except for Jamila the woman who claims to be the most powerful person in the building. I wanted to try a few other rooms so I went over to preschool because that lead teacher had just recently quit. So I decided i would like to take over that room. Which I did. I soon realized that taking over that room meant being by myself with 15, 3 year olds all day. I had zero support from anyone. I had no idea how to do the lesson plans the only person that showed me anything was the pre k teacher. Which is not okay because she was trying to help me out while she was alone in her class of 24 kids. I was offered a job at a new preschool so I put my two weeks in at la petite. They then asked me to stay if they raised my pay and got me an assistant teacher. I told them I would think about it because I did like my coworkers. In that two weeks nothing changed. I was alone in my room the whole time and I was not offered any help what so ever. Then the day after my last of the two weeks they started a huge rumor about me to a family in order to cover their butts for a mistake they made. This place is not safe and it’s not a safe healthy environment for any child to grow or learn.

My daughter comes home with bites and scratches and diaper rash daily despite my many conversations with her teachers and directors. I’ve even provided her own diapers and cream bc she’s allergic to their diapers. Their rooms are always way out of ratio and they treat their teachers very poorly. They make the older kids vacuum and clean the building at the end of the day and have kids running around all over the place. They threaten to take the children to the bathroom out of camera view when they’re not listening. As a parent I will not be letting my child back there and would advise against enrolling your children there. The directors lie to the parents about what happens with their children and promise to fix things but don’t actually do anything about the issues. As a former teacher there I advise against applying to work there unless you wanna be paid 13 an hour to take care of 20 kids by yourself all day with no help.

My Granddaughter was biten twice, a incident report was given for only one of the bites but not the other...they didn't even know it happened...she was scratched in her face twice with no incident report given....the next week when my daughter picked her up she had a knot above her eye...the teachers had no clue what happened....My daughter wasn't going to take her back after that but the Daycarel called several times asking for another chance....After keeping her home for a week...My daughter takes her back....the teacher doesn't even speak or acknowledge her....And then... NO ONE CHANGED MY GRANDDAUGHTERS DIAPER ALL DAY!!!! (from 6:30am-4pm) SHE CAME HOME WITH THE SAME EXACT DIAPER ON (They supply diapers which are a different brand) BUT HER DIAPER WAS SOAKING WET!!!!!! AND SHE ALSO WAS THE ONLY CHILD WITHOUT A CHAIR AT SNACK TIME!!!!!!! When my daughter confronted the teacher...SHE LAUGHED!!! When my daughter told the Manager - Her Response - What do you want me to do????? PACK HER STUFF UP... SHE AIN'T COMING BACK!!!!!!! VERY NEGELECTFUL AND NONCHALANT STAFF!!!!!!!! THIS PLACE GETS ZERO STAR... THEY TRULY SUCK!!!!!!!!!

I am only giving this daycare a 1 star just to write a review. This place is horrible! My son was there for 2 days in this facility. Never was I shown how to clock in/out. The door code did not work. Infants who can not turn, crawl or walk are on their belly all day long. Infants fall asleep on the floor and they take forever to pick them up and put them in their crib. Also employees are so lazy to walk to each child to their assigned crib that they make infants share cribs! Infants are not being stimulated in any type of way! What really bothered me was how employees show they careless about these infants. An employee walked into the infant room without her shoes covered, even though there is a sign stating to cover your shoes! She walked all over the carpet where infants are laid on. When I spoke to the director Tiffany, she didn’t care to even address the fact her employee are not following simple guidelines as covering their shoes. All she cared to say I’m sorry it didn’t work out. I saw all this through their SproutAbout live-streaming camera app. No wonder why they have open spots for their infant program, which they only take 8 infants as I was told by Tiffany. Worst place! Do not take your child here! Their $352 a week for an infant is not worth one bit! When your infant is not being stimulated to meet his/her milestones!

We paid 250 per week for my child to play all day at a level 4 center. I want to pay that for learning not to watch frozen and play on the playground all day everyday. I’m trying to teach letters, numbers, shapes and reading every night basically without the help of the center so most of the information wasn’t being retained. We got a price increase every 3-4 months without complaints and my child learned nothing from them. Then when I signed her out of the school I heard the teacher in the 1 year old classroom yelling at a 1 year old for crying.

Absolutely horrible daycare, have no respect for the children or parents, gang up on children and do not treat all children the same
