Worst place ever . They do not communicate and the call center sucks . I Schedule two virtual tour and no one showed up when I called the call center again to let them know The rep didn’t even give me a chance to explain about what was my issue she just told me that the call Center is down and she cannot help me without even asking what I was calling for it or what I needed. Then I finally scheduled an appointment the same day at 5:30 to come to their daycare and when I get there that’s when the woman tells me that they’re not doing any tours in the place and they don’t Do tours in the place. Which is very inconvenient because now this is the three times that I’ve tried to schedule a tour and it’s giving me the runaround for no reason instead of communicating. I would give a zero star if I can. I do not recommend .

La Petite Academy is an amazing place! My daughter started going there when she was 8 weeks old and the staff has become like a second family. I would highly recommend this daycare to any parents. If we werent moving she would continue to go here until she was in VPK. Absolutely love La Petite Academy and if I could give them 10 stars I would.

My daughter is now 4 years old and has attended La Petite in Boynton since she was 3 months old. Being a first time mom having to go back to work, the teachers as well as the director gave me great comfort in knowing my baby was in good hands with their open door policy and also giving me updates whenever I called.Not only was she in good care, she was always learning something new there. As soon as my daughter started talking, she was able to identify colors and say her letters. They are excellent teachers. I love how they pay attention to the learning style of each child. Once they saw that my daughter pretty much mastered what her class was doing, they let her spend time with next class so she can get started on the next level.My daughter surprises me all the time with her vocabulary and her knowledge of what things are and how they work. It really pushes me to make sure I do lessons with her home as well because she is so interested. La Petite makes learning fun for the kids. Its the best decision I made for child care.

My daughter started attending La Petite Academy at 13 weeks old. From the moment she began in the infant room we knew we were home. My baby was taken care of by people who started as strangers, but soon became like second mothers to my child since some days she would be there 10-12 hours due to work schedules.As she got a bit older and moved out of the baby room, she struggled a bit, but the morning teachers helped her each morning when she didnt want to go to her class. She was also able to work at the front desk each morning until she was ready to join the group. Little things like this make it so much easier to drop off your child and continue on to a full workday.Fast forward three years, and that little baby now thinks she is the queen of La Petite.All of the teachers and office personnel know her and stop to talk to both her and me about a crazy thing she said or something funny that she did. We truly appreciate all of the love and attention that she gets and we enjoy hearing about it. Thank you all at La Petite for the hard work you do and the patience you show everyday, we truly appreciate you!

My daughter has been going to La Petite for over a year and she loves it! It is so comforting dropping her off in the morning seeing a big smile on her face as she walks into her classroom. All of the teachers are super sweet and really care about the children. My daughter has learned a lot at La Petite as well, which is very important to me. Ashley, the director is really friendly, helpful and does a wonderful job running the school. I am very happy with La Petite and highly recommend them.

The staff here are amazing. It was a haven for my husband and I while at work. Ms. Ashley the director welcomed and treated us like family from the very first day my daughter attended La Petite Academy. I recommend this school to parents that are looking for a great daycare!!!

The teachers are awesome. They are professional, caring, and communicate well with parents. Ms. Angel, Ms. Yvonne, and Ms. Nicki are especially amazing. My daughter has learned so much and grown socially at this location. The director is also very good. She communicates well and solves problems quickly. I love this school and would highly recommend it.

My now 2 year old son has been attending La Petite Academy in Boynton Beach since he was 8 months old. We are so grateful for the consistently positive experience we have had with the teachers, director and child care. All of the teachers (even from other rooms) have always been attentive, caring, and straight forward about my son. I initially had a good feeling here when touring daycares and went with my gut. I am glad I did. My son has done great here and they have always helped make drop offs a little easier. We unfortunately are moving out of the area but I am thankful for the experience we had here.

I’m not one to leave reviews, but this school left such an impression on my child that I felt compelled to do so. My son, Michael, attended La Petite in Boynton Beach where he started in the two’s classroom. Prior to him starting La Petite, I had him in a different school (not mentioning name), that his father and I weren’t too pleased with. As soon as he started at La Petite, we noticed a huge improvement in his vocabulary and speach. I could tell they were actually teaching him there! The teachers were always very welcoming and friendly and when i was struggling with his behavior at home, they would always help and give me useful advice! My child had a tough time with potty training and within a week of working with the school, they helped me get the job done! Michael stayed at La Petite for almost a year and a half and sadly had to be taken out because our family relocated. Every teacher in that building was amazing and i felt like my child was always taken care of there. They have an awesome app called brightwheel that enables you to track your child’s daily activities, meals and even potty breaks. They would even send pictures multiple times a day, which we loved !!! This school is in a great, safe location. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for an excellent place to put their children!! The director, Ashley, ms. Angel, ms. Deana and all of the other teachers in that place are awesome!!!!

My daughter Bella and I love La Petite Academy! Everyone is very pleasant and friendly during drop off and pick up. The staff is very tentative to my daughter and actually takes the time to pay attention to her needs. La Petite is more like a family than a school or daycare. The facility is always super clean and tidy. My daughter loves the decor and festive imagination stations for reading and pretend play. I cant imagine ever finding a better fit for my daughter. Thanks La Petite!

Every morning is like dropping my daughter off with family. The teachers and staff are amazing. As a new mother, I struggled with sending my daughter to day care. However, I know deep down now I am not sending her simply to day care, I am sending her to her second family. My daughter smiles from the moment we walk through the doors till the moment we leave. We have had some health issues with my 10 month old which have scared this new mom. The Director and Teachers have been a huge support and been there for my family and I beyond anything you would expect. I WILL be keeping my daughter here through VPK. Highly, HIGHLY recommend La Petite of Boynton. If you are looking for a place to confidently and happily take your child to every day, this is the place.

My son has gone to La Petite Academy since he was 3 months old. I cant say enough GREAT things about the teachers and the director Ms. Ashley. The communication and guidance they have provided makes the biggest difference! They are the best and have always made me feel like my boy is in good hands.

My daughter has been attending La Petite Academy of Boynton for about 2 years. My mother and I fell in love with this place the first time we walked in! Classrooms are not as large as other schools I have seen and the staff is extremely friendly as well as willing to go over and beyond to meet your childs needs. I like the efficient check in / out process as well as how I am kept abreast of all my childs activities throughout the day. My daughter is 3 years old and is already so excited about writing her letters and numbers! The staff has done wonders in my daughters life including getting her totally potty trained!

My son joined the infant room at 3 months, and has loved every minute of it. Even through the rough getting to us and our scheduling process the Director and her team listen, and acted on all needs. You are silly not to have your kids join the La Petite family they are warm and kind hearted hard workers. My son would tell me bye and push me away which means he loved his friends and teachers. The infant room has a strong balance of the three teachers all with different roles in how they help your child grow. Best decision we made!!

Im not one to usually write a review but after reading Kelly Thomass review I had to. La Petite Academy in B.B. is fantastic. My Child has been going there for over a year and a half and everyone is fantastic. I was vary hesitant at first as I dont trust people, especially with my child as Im a first time parent. But after being there and seeing everything going on over the time weve been there, I couldnt be happier with the staff and facility. My child is learning so much and is happy to go.If there was ever and issue or concern it was addressed immediately.I really dont understand this Kelly Thomas person, they have to have a personal grudge against someone there. My Wife and I couldnt be more pleased with La Petite Academy and there staff.

Our son attended La Petite Academy in Boynton Beach this year for VPK. I was nervous to send him, because he had never been in any type of daycare/school setting before. When I went on the school tour, my anxiety was put at ease. The staff was wonderful, the school was clean, and the kids were happy. I got to see the classrooms, and I was given an overview of what the kids would be learning to get them prepared for kindergarten. The school works with an app, and we got to see updates and pictures throughout the day of what the kids were doing. Our son learned so much this year; from writing out his full name, using math, learning science and reading sight words. We were really impressed and are confident that he will be ready for kindergarten in the fall.Ms. Ashley and Ms. Jamie were always friendly and said good morning/afternoon whenever I came in, and they were always helpful if I had any questions. Ms. Nicky was our son’s VPK teacher and we absolutely loved her. She was kind, sincere and loving. You can see how much she truly loves and cares for the kids. We’re so happy that we found La Petite!

This time last year I was posting reviews for this school and 5 stars werent enough because we believed they were fantastic. The teachers, Ms. Angel, Ms. Yvonne, Ms. Ruth, and Ms. Jamie are still worthy of a 5+ star rating.However, there are now personel there who have been negligent to the point that I fear for my sons safety when his regular teachers arent there. Each situation was brought to the director and each time it was dismissed as a misunderstanding and we were told it was being documented but that was all that she could do because its a corporation.The negligence cases include leaving our son alone and unsupervised in a room where my husband was able to walk in, take our son, and leave without the teacher noticing.Another time, our son was left in a pull up (he is potty trained) and at 6:30p my husband picked him up to find urine burns and feces caked on his rear so bad there were blisters rupturing and skin coming off as my husband tried to clean him up. We ended up having to soak him in a tub to get it off without causing agonizing pain. At this time our son was in the care of the same teacher who allowed him to wonder alone.In another case, there was a child who was very physically violent and aggressive to many of the students in his class despite the teachers best efforts. When it was brought to the directors attention we were told that she is documenting things and working on it but this particular parent can be difficult to handle so she has to be careful on how she handles it. Oh, Im sorry, youre telling me that because we are the nicer parents our son is going to continue being harmed by this other child? This only partially resolved when he was graduated to the next class and finally separated from the abusive boy. The teachers were blamed for not paying close enough attention despite the director knowing of the issue and the teachers really needing an extra hand with this particular student that they werent getting.In a nutshell, there are several more instances of documented neglect by this particular teacher and she is still employed there. The director is very quick to pass the blame to the other teachers who are fantastic and take exceptional care of our son. The director avoids difficult situations and takes the easy way out, never accepting responsibility for her own short coming. The teachers dont get the proper support they need. The assistant director will flat out say she doesnt like children and has said such things to several parents. When the core teachers are there, everything is fantastic but when they have a day off, take lunch, have a scheduling conflict, etc. I dont trust that my son will be safe and secure. That is a terrifying feeling. He has been removed for this school for his own safety. As long as Ashley is the director, Megan the assistant director, and Whitney is a teacher on staff here, I would strongly encourage you seek alternative child care.

Boynton beach La Petite Academy has a wonderful staff and we really appreciate everything they have done to make our daughter as welcome as possible. We thank her teachers Ms. Angelica Harris and Ms. Yvonne Valega.I know our Daughter can be a handful but Ms. Harris has always been right there to help her get back on track, her attentiveness to detail and staying organized is wonderful. With all the children and moving parts she has to manage. We recently misplaced one of our daughters favorite Disney dresses. Ms. Harris was able to locate the dress and get it back home to her. and now she can be Repunzle again,(YAY) thank you. I dont know where we would be without Repunzle, (maybe Darth vader, Spiderman or the Tin Man I dont know). THANK YOU Ms. HARRIS!Ms. Valega is always extremely upbeat and on point. She has made our Daughters class transition incredibly easy for her. I was dreading the transition due to previous experiences she had changing classes. It wasnt anything anyone did or did not do, but My daughter was hesitant to go to school because of previous class changes. I understand our daughter can be a creature of habit at times, and as that may be good for creating structure but at times its nice to get her out of her comfort zone and show her different things in life change. This last move to Ms. Valegas class went like clockwork and She loves her teacher. THANK YOU Ms. VALEGA!!I would also like to thank Ms. Jami Puglielli. Not to long ago, She took time out of her busy day and crowded lobby to listen to a concern of mine. Ms. Puglielli heard my consern and made a plan to correct it. She followed through and did exactly as she said and my concern has been put to rest. THANK YOU Ms. PUGLIELLI!!Thank you Ms. Woodbury for creating a wonderful team, managing structure and for sharing these that with our Daughter. I have always looked forward to all the pictures and our Daughters daily updates. I am truly a fan of yours and when ever friends or acquaintances tell me about their children or school issues. I have always brought up You and your team. Thank You all for being as great and wonderful as you are and going the extra mile for our Daughter. She could not be in a better school. Thank you again for creating the trust between us and your school and taking such great care of her.

My son was at La Petite from the infant room all the way through VPK. I could not have asked for better people to care for my child. It was a relief to know that while we were at work my son was in great hands.
