I have given this center so many chances because I understand that it is a human enterprise and no one is going to be perfect. But unfortunately, the way that this center is run is not focused on making sure your child is comfortable and happy. Instead La Petite does just the bare minimum to collect your money and the director Mary is so rude and dismissive when you try to bring up issues with the care they provide. \n\nWhen my child was a newborn, I frequently saw them ignoring the ratio of adults to newborns that is required by law and would only correct themselves if you brought it to the attention of the director. They also don't enforce whatever sick policy they have or disinfect their facility because my child was constantly sick. I ended up pulling my daughter from the center and just staying home with her. I tried them again when my child was a toddler but it was just a different set of problems. They take the kids out to play in the 97 degree heat in the afternoon when the sun is the brightest. I would pick my child up and she would be starving and thirsty, and I would get different stories from every employee on what their snack policy and times were. I tried to work around this just by picking my child up an hour earlier so I could make sure she was fed an afternoon snack and not exposed to the heat. And once again, even though I took my daughter to La Petite only 1x per week almost every single time she got sick.\n\nThey then changed policies on diapers and sippy cups and raised their prices by $5/day. I am not sure how dixie cups and 5-6 of the lowest quality diapers you can find warrant a $5 increase. My child has a very sensitive bottom and cannot use anything other than the diapers and sensitive wipes that I currently use. The center will allow you to bring your own diapers and wipes, but it is a coin flip if they respect your wishes and actually use the diapers you bring in. So today I bring home my child and she has terrible diaper rash and one of their cheap center provided diapers on. So now I get to deal with a nasty rash for the next couple days and probably a new cold or flu because La Petite does not care about providing quality care to children."^^ . . "1"^^ . "6"^^ . .
