La Petite Academy of Lake Mary

I absolutely love this daycare/school!
I started taking my daughter there and she was 18 months old and we stayed every year until she graduated VPK at four almost five years old. The classroom teachers do so well with the kids! Love all the crafts and learning preparation they do for the kids. The administration team is phenomenal, Kristen B. and others work so well with my daughters particular needs! The facility is always clean and everybody is amazingly friendly and always willing to help. I can’t believe my little one is now in kindergarten and I don’t get to see what has become like friends along the years anymore.
I recently had a new baby girl and I look forward to her starting at La Petite Academy in Lake Mary. I wouldn’t choose any other daycare/school!!

My kids started La Petite Academy at the beginning of this year and I couldn’t be happier! The Director Ms.Kristen is the absolute BEST and her staff is as well. Everyone is easy to talk to, always helpful and very nice. By far the best daycare center my children have attended. The facility is always clean, which is a huge plus for me. You have camera access to check on your babies throughout the day if you want to which I love! I truly appreciate this center so much for their patience and the attention they give to the children who attend it ❤

I can not think of enough kind words to describe this school. My granddaughter Amyra has been in the care of these wonderful ladies since she was 8 months old. They love her like their own. Amyra will be 3 and she has excelled. She knows all her colors and her alphabet, shapes and is counting. They have already begun teaching her days of the week.i have read some of the bad reviews and this has just not been our experience with these professional ladies. Just yesterday when we arrived at school my granddaughter ran to one of her teachers, Miss Liberty and hugged her legs. I feel compelled to add that Amyra is mixed race due to that completely false claims of racism that have been made against Ms. Kristen. Amyra beams at all her caregivers there. Ms. Kristen, Ms DonnaMs. Salome, Ms. Kim Ms Wanda and Ms Raphaela feeds them so well!!! We were truly blessed to have found this school for our most precious little girl. Ladies, you have a job that is often times thankless. Which is unfortunate because you love and care for othe peoples children as if they were your own. From my family to you all THANK YOU for LOVING AMYRA THE WAY WE DO. Keep up the good work.

My son has been coming here for almost a year now, and we absolutely love them! His previous daycare was turning into a nightmare, and from the moment that I first spoke to the daycare director, to my son’s first day, it was a complete 180. My son was 1 when he started here, and went from having separation anxiety, not walking, and not very social, to an outgoing, talkative toddler, who RUNS, and loves to play. Every teacher, and staff member goes above and beyond, and show concern for every child. They treat us like family, and I am more than thankful!

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!

My grandchildren go to this location and it is GREAT! We have new office staff who have made amazing changes with the facility and new teachers. The updates on the app put my mind at ease when the children may not be having a great start to their day and are a little crabby when they are dropped off. Any parent would want to be reassured that their child has adjusted and are happy after you leave them. The staff does a fantastic job of posting a picture in the app with a quick note to reassure us that they are fine. The new staff has done a great job of making the appropriate changes that have created a caring learning environment for our families!

I love this place and both of my kids also love this place. They have great learning activities fun activities and have great employees from the front desk to the teachers. Shout out to Ms Cynthia I see her putting such a great effort for her students she’s wonderful I know my daughter is in absolutely great care also shout out to Ms Salomie for making my son feel right at home. You are all doing a great job and I have no complain Thank You All for everything I appreciate all of you it’s been a wonderful experience I rate this place #1 (;

The care that our child received at La Petite Lake Mary was unparalleled. The teachers as well as the director were so wonderful and helpful. The nurturing and warm environment was very inviting. I would recommend La Petite Lake Mary to anyone who is in search of a quality child care program.

My son has been going to this school for 2 years, he loved it :), he received speech therapy, the staff at La Petite are very helpful and support his therapies by encouraging him. It has been a great journey, I hope he continues here until he turns 5, ready for Kindergarten!!

Thanks for everything.

LaPetite is a great preschool, they go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. My child has been attending this school for a little over the year and the experience has been great. The school year 2016/2017 will be her last year and we will miss this school very much. Mrs. Carmen will do whatever she can to accommodate your needs and we greatly appreciate everything that she has done for us. The teachers at this center are phenomenal, they know every child's parent by name and take very good care of your child. Ms. Salomie and Mrs. Francis work together with the VPK students and the are wonderful, as a matter of fact the kids in their class scored a perfect 100 on their test once they entered elementary school. Every teacher in the building is great along with the Assistant Director and the Team Lead. I want to thank everyone for their dedication to all the students at the school. If there is a problem with a child the work to rectify the issue immediately. I am currently a Nursing student and I have flexibility in my school schedule and I do drop in at the center at anytime of the day weekly and they are always on point. Again I want to say thank you to all the Staff and especially the people that I come in contact with daily Ms. Carmen, Ms. Cristal, Mrs. Catherine, Ms. Salomie, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Stephanie, Ms. Tanesha, Mrs. Jessica, Mrs. Melanie, Ms. Yamaley, Ms. Shamika, and Ms. Tiffany you guys do a fantastic job everyday. I genuinely feel like these people love my child and want to see her be great, Ms. Salomie is a true gem.

From a very appreciative parent. Your guys have a wonderful team over there at LaPetite Lake Mary.

I moved back to Florida from Texas a few years ago to be closer to home. My daughter was 2 and my son was just 7 months old. My daughter is now 5 and graduated from LaPetite's VPK program and my son is 3 and thriving in the PreSchool program there. All the teachers (there are too many to name!) have been beyond phenomenal. I really feel the teachers love and care for my children. They are always willing to talk and get to know the parents as well. When my mother passed away, the teachers got our family a card and flowers. So very thoughtful. I am already dreading the day my son graduates from VPK because I will miss all these wonderful ladies. Thank you La Petite for all you do for my most precious possession.

My son has been at La Petite since he was 6months old. The staff and administration cares for every child as if they were their own. It is the best day care in the area. I checked out a few others before registering and La Petite far exceeded other programs in the area. They are stellar at everything they do.

Thank you La Petite!!!

Excellet daycare AND preschool, I have not found one better!! Every single one of the staff is beyond amazing. This is the first place that my oldest daughter brags about going to. Its safe to say I will be taking my children here for a long time and recommending it to anyone who wants a good daycare or preschool.

I have two children that attend La Petite and all of the teachers here are amazing, especially Ms. Tenisha. When I drop my kids off in the morning I know they will be taken care of until I return. I highly recommend this daycare.

Satisfied parent for 13 years! Have had 4 children through this daycare ranging from ages 6weeks to 12 years and always had full support by management. They take staffing and procedures seriously. Peanut Free Facility! Willing to work with kids of special needs :)

My son loves the staff here and I love the constant updates of his day on the app. They always post pictures and detail activities your child does throughout the day(even meals and diaper changes). It is a bit pricey but it includes everything all you have to bring is blanket and a change of clothes.

My daughter just started and the only daycare I felt so comfortable!!! Happy I enrolled my daughter at this school! Highly recommend
