La Petite Academy of Thornton

This daycare overall is a joke. They do not have the best interest for your children. The director kristen is Beyond stressed, she has people working for her That don't even have their teachers license NOr their early children education license. Yet she tells the parents that they do! One teacher In particular.... Renee WAS verbally abusive to my child and dramatically change Him as a person. he is spiteful, he is angry. He is nothing that he used to be when he started there. Going through multiple different therapies highly recommend you run from this center. If you have hopes for a better future for your child. And you love them dearly. Don't even walk into this place.

Renee and misty you guys do so well in your class with your kids thank you so much

I went here when i was like 6 or 7 (im 15 now) and it was awful. Seriously i dreaded going every single day, i saw everything first hand. I had a learning disability and had to eat special food and they treated me very poorly compared to the other Kids. The teachers definitely had favorites. There was this one teacher who would make spoon flowers and shed give them to her favorite student but when i asked for one because i found them beautiful she was very rude about it. One time it was my birthday and they did this thing where they had us make cup cakes and other fun things. they gave me a book that i read to the class and then they took pictures and put it into a little book. it was made of printed pictures and construction paper and you had to pay for it. I think its was around $30. The whole time people were very rude to me. I also remember getting bullied by this one girl hard core, she would beat me up and when id tell the teachers of this they would say i was lying and ignore me. I would get bullied by lots of the other kids and anytime id tell the teachers they would ignore me and say i was the one causing problems. I was a difficult kid yes but either way bullying is entirely unacceptable within a learning facility. I was constantly outcasted by the Students and teachers because of my ADHD which apparently made me lesser of a person even though half the kids there probably had ADHD as well. The staff were very aggressive, dismissive, disrespectful, and rude. It was very rare there was an actually decent teacher there and they would usually quit really fast due to not being able to handle the rude staff members. I wouldn’t recommend this daycare to anyone honestly… im not sure who its run by now or if they’ve made changes to the rude and insufferable staff but the owner when i went there was an absolute jerk. I was treated very poorly and I hated every second at this daycare and hope it closes down from a rat infestation or something anything really that would make their lives difficult lol.

We’ve been a part of the school for just over 4 months now. Ms. Annette is great teaching structure with my toddler and he’s doing well in a social setting with kids his age. We are thankful we found the center. The Director Kristen and admin staff is great at responding to questions through the day.

We absolutely love this school! Our kid has excelled, and rave about ALL of the teachers. Everyone is so nice and you’re always greeted with a smile. Very clean and safe environment, they update you throughout the day, and attentive to anything you ask. 100% recommend La Petite Thornton.

My grandchildren have been going here for almost a year. They are ages 9 and 5. The social skills they have learned and just the growth in general have been incredible to watch. My shy grandson is now in Kindergarten and thriving because of the skills he was taught at this school for pre-school. My granddaughter is so mature and nurturing, always thinking of others and wanting to help because they are taught to treat each other with respect. I just can't say enough about the facility, how it is set up and how well they have dealt with the whole Covid 19 with kids of all ages. They were one of the few schools I believe that did not have to shut down due to the attention to detail this staff uses with cleanliness. I would highly and gladly recommend this school to any parent of any aged child. Your children will be taken care of with the best of care and they learn so much while having fun. Best school/daycare/camp EVER!!!!!

NOT INCLUSIVE!!! The teachers have favorites and my son was mostly ignored. My son was enrolled part-time here for 1.5 years and was in the toddler program. I loved walking into his classroom and seeing the beautiful artwork, but always felt depressed when I checked the names and never saw my son's name on ANY of it. I was told that my son doesn't like art. Ummm... excuse me? He's 2. He doesn't know what art is. In this age group, it's about the process (getting dirty, trying new textures), but because my kid doesn't talk he didn't get to do art. Supposed to be STEM based, but I have no idea because unless I literally watched the video feed all day, I had no indication that anything was done other than diapers and meals (which were often not documented). Noticed one day that he had fresh wounds on his hand. Went back inside to ask about it and was told that the bookcase did it. Was given an incident report the next time. A number of red flags with that experience, especially since the wounds were 3 FINGERNAILS!! Don't know if they were a kids or an adults, but decided to pull my kid out. Today was his last day and Birthday party. $30 for 4 printed pictures (didn't even get them through the app) and some teacher-made booklets. Cute, but I had specifically asked for extra pictures today. Got NONE! Asked how his day was and was told for the millionth time "I don't know. I wasn't with him." (The teachers don't work as a team and there's been an extremely high teacher turn over with his class) Asked to speak to a director/manager and was told no one was there. I'm so upset that I don't imagine my family ever recommending La Petite and I will not do business with them again.
