La Petite Academy on Jameson N - Lincoln, Nebraska

Joanna Clay

La Petite Academy is a very special place for a lot of reasons, and our children have been immersed in its thoroughly educational and loving environment since we enrolled them at this location 2+ years ago.

I'll share what has been very impactful for our family:

- Room teachers are fantastic leaders and model healthy communication techniques. The go above and beyond to nurture emotional development.
- Activities and learning are both enjoyable and challenging for kids. Our children are excited each day to be with friends and teachers at school—always a good sign!
- I personally love the leadership at this school and how well they partner with parents in what's best for each child individually. It's clear that leadership makes great efforts in creating a work culture that’s supportive of caregivers professionally and personally.
- I appreciate the respect children are shown when they are coached through struggles/conflicts by teachers. I also highly value the dedication to transparent communication between parents and teachers/leaders.

For anyone seeking a safe, fun, and encouraging learning environment for little ones and big kids, I enthusiastically recommend La Petite!

After visting several other daycare centers in Lincoln in order to find the perfect place for our daughter, we selected La Petite. Their facility, teachers, and curriculum are far superior to any of the other places that we considered. The management and staff truly care about my daughter and their other children that attend there. They treat them like they are their own children. My daughter LOVES to go there everyday. She can't wait to get there every morning to play with her friends and teachers. The outside play area is wonderful, as well as the nutritious meals that are served there. I just can't say enough wonderful things about La Petite. I highly recommend this daycare facility for your child!

I brought my oldest here nearly 8years ago and now I have enrolled my youngest. They know both my kiddos by name when we come in and truly care for your children the way you wish a daycare would. I was notably nervous both times starting my kids but all worries were quickly put at ease. They have live feed cameras you can watch from a smartphone. Every time I check in on my kiddo my whole heart is melted because I can see my child's teacher treating my child with overwhelming love and respect. My child has a speech delay and after being at la petite for only a few months we have already made leaps and bounds in trying to communicate. They treat your child like family and strive to help them grow in a safe loving environment.

My daughters have been at La Petite for nearly 2 years. They both love La Petite and have been very happy with their teachers. My soon to be 5 year old is learning all the things she'll need to be ready for Kindergarten. She attends mon.-fri. all year round. My older daughter is currently a 2nd grader and attends during summer break. She truly enjoys the variety of summer field trips that are offered. The entire staff at La Petite creates an environment where my children are safe and feel loved and cared for. I not only appreciate the educational curriculum that La Petite offers but also the activities provided that promote social development. I highly recommend La Petite.

My daughter used to go there and always had good time with the staff and teachers. Not only the services they provided were excellent when we were there, but the director went extra miles to help us find new childcare facilities after we moved, and called us couple of time to see how my daughter is doing. They really care about kids.

Of all the things we missed about Lincoln, this La petite tops them all.

My infant does not go to La Petite Academy and will not after what happened to us during the enrollment process. We toured the daycare in July 2018 and were told the earliest opening was June 2019. At the end of the tour, my husband and I told the La Petite teacher that we wanted to pay the application fee and get a spot on the waiting list. She told us that we were first in line for the June opening and that there was no fee for holding our spot. We pressed her to make sure there was no way anyone could jump ahead of us in line. (We both thought it was strange that there wouldn't be any fee). The La Petite teacher assured us. No one ever called me about any changes since the July tour.

Fast forward to Dec 5, 2018 and I called their office to see if any thing has changed to allow us to get in sooner. That's when I'm told our spot got pushed back to Nov 2019!! That's 5 months! I couldn't believe it. I talked at length with the director, Nicole, about what we were told and she said there was nothing she could do because these spots are now taken. That left us very disappointed and now we're finding a different daycare because I don't trust a place that manages their office this poorly.

I love this place, it’s more of a school than a daycare. The faculty are always very smiley and upbeat, and clearly spend a lot of time making sure the kids have an educational and fun experience. Highly recommended!

VERY pleased with everyone and all the hardwork they put in for my little guy! Glad I found this place. Second daycare my son has ever been too and I am thinking it will be the last!:)
