| - I did not realize how bad this place was until I took my son out and put him in a new daycare. My son started acting up at home before I would even leave my house to take him to daycare. I didn't think much about it because of his age I thought it was just an attachment issue. I was so wrong, he was trying to communicate to me the only way he knew how and I'm so mad at myself for not taking it more seriously earlier. This review is going to be a bit lengthy but I really want other parents to know.
1st sign of concern... I picked up my son early one day and when I walked in the teacher was yelling at one of the other kids.
2nd... The school always sends updates to your email on what is going on with your child. They serve lunch which I thought at first was a good thing, they would always send me notifications that my son ate 100% of his food, which kinda seemed weird considering that my son never eats 100% when he is with me but I know kids are different in different circumstances. One day I brought him to school as they were serving lunch. I was so disgusted by what they were serving.. It looked like dog food. When I looked on the menu to see what it was because I could not identify what it was by looking at it, it was Salisbury steak... Knowing my child I can't imagine he would ever eat something like that let alone 100% of it, and after seeing what they actually were feeding the kids I questioned wether or not my kid was eating at all and if I even trusted what he was eating.
3. when I picked up my son the teacher had her phone blasting rap music so loud that when I spoke to her she couldn't hear what I said, sooo if she can't hear me, how could she possibly hear the kids???
4.Another time when I picked him up I could not find which room he was in. One of the teachers said he is in the 2 year old room...my son is 3 1/2...I'm not sure why he was with the 2 year olds, and Im now not sure how many times they did that.
5. not long after he started getting upset when I would take him, his main teacher miss Brigette was all of a sudden gone. Dara the assistant manager did not give an explanation as to why she was gone, she just acted slightly agitated and said now we have to find a new teacher.
6. after his teacher was gone his tantrums at drop off went from a level 3 to a level 7, I could tell he felt uncomfortable with the new teachers in there and the teachers acted like they hated their job.
7. Not long after that I got a frantic phone call at work from Dara saying I have to pick up my son immediately because he had climbed up on a table and fell off trying to get down and his tooth went through his bottom lip. That ended up in an emergency room visit. The school did offer to have their insurance pay for it and took responsibility for not paying attention enough to my son to prevent it from happening.
8. After he got hurt his tantrums at drop off went from a level 7 to a level 15! I thought it may have been because of his accident (maybe he thought he was going to get hurt again) so i was willing to keep taking him to try to see if he would eventually calm down...he did not... Instead it got worse everyday , to the point where I had to call out from work because he started hitting the teacher in the face that was trying to pick him to make him feel better. After two weeks of hell when dropping off I finally decided to find another daycare.
I ended up putting him in creative kids, and the change in my child is phenomenal. He is a different kid. He loves getting ready to go to school. He has not thrown one tantrum. When I drop him off her runs and hugs his teacher.. she has fun kid music playing while they are in the playground, which I feel is more appropriate then the rap music with bleeped out cuss words. They don't serve lunch which I now prefer because I know what my child is eating and I know exactly how much he ate and that the things I pack for him for lunch are foods he likes. The staff is so much more friendly then la petite, you can tell the teachers really enjoy where they are employed. Creative kids is amazing!!! If I have any advice to parents through this experience it would be to listen to your childrens emotions. I should have taken him out of la petite along time ago and I regret giving that place the benefit of the doubt. I'm still not exactly sure as to what was going on in there on a regular basis to make my child have such an emotional response to being dropped off there. But seeing and feeling the difference between the two daycares, I know la petite is not a great place to take your child. I hope this review can help other parents make a better decision then I did.
