La Petite Academy of Norcross

Tebo The Tooth loved visiting La Petite of Norcross and teaching all of their little friends how to care for their teeth. We can't wait to visit again next year!

This school was the first daycare we tried for my daughter at 8 months and was a short term solution due to the location being far from my home but they had an opening. This was my daughters first time outside of my care so she had a tough adjustment with separation anxiety, even though we eased her into it. I really appreciated that during the early days when she only wanted to be held, the teachers would just hold her until she became comfortable enough to go play. I realized this because in many of the first pictures they sent she was being held or at least holding on to one of the teachers. This was really comforting to me to see that they were being so patient with her, and allowing her time to transition. Her infant class main teachers were Ms. Frida, Ms. Alexis, Ms. Dominique and Ms. Candace, although other teachers cover the class from time to time. I never had any issue with them. I felt like they actually cared like for example they were so excited to share with me small things like when she finally would eat all her food or when she finally smiled at them. They also did a good job of keeping brightwheel (the app the send pics and updates on) updated and they sent pictures and videos while really helped me get through the day while I was at work. If my home or job were closer (I was driving 1.5 hours each way mainly due traffic) we would still be there. I actually cried a good bit over having to leave because my daughter was comfortable enough that she reached out the go to the teachers at drop offs and that eased my worries.

On behalf of Mariam and her whole family, I would just like to say: You’re awesome!Thank you for everything you’ve taught Mariam this year. It’s remarkable how much she’s learned, and how excited she is to tell us about each new discovery. From djibril Thanks

This school is a great learning experience for all children from ages 1-12. The teachers are very nice and they help give that friendly environment whenever you walk in.

The director is nice and willing to work with the family but the assistant director is horrible. I appreciate her for always trying to step in and handle certain things. BUT......when the director is away the assistant is not professional. and has a track record of not having any compassion. She turned away my grandson who was 15 minutes late one day due to their policy. since November and this was in May. Other parents had been bringing their kids in late all the time since the policy went into effect but the assistance decided to make an example week the director was on vacation. My grandson had been going here for a year and then that happened. I had to take off work due to them turning him away that day. I won't ever forget this because it truly hurt me. Luckily I was not the one dropping him off but my daughter, who is a first time mom had to experience this and be shocked. When I called the director she said it was a policy and had just heard about the incident that day (5 days later). Money was wasted because they got our full tuition that week (173 dollars) and he had to miss a day and I had to miss a day at work. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!! We pulled him out ASAP.
