La Petite Academy of Greenwood Village - Greenwood Village, Colorado

My two-year-old had been attending this daycare center for approximately six weeks, and unfortunately, I encountered several issues during that time. The center offers live streaming cameras for parents to observe, and on the occasions I have checked in, I witnessed concerning behavior from the teachers, such as tripping my son, blowing in his face while he was upset and sending him outside with no jacket even though he had one in his cubby.

Additionally, there have been instances where the daycare did not inform me that my son had run out of diapers and used theirs for a day, yet charged me for a full week. These small incidents were initially overlooked by me. However, the latest incident left me greatly dissatisfied.

Upon picking up my child, I discovered that the daycare staff had written the center's initials in sharpie all over the inside of his reversible $75 jacket. When I inquired about the vandalized jacket, their response was dismissive, questioning if the jacket even belonged to my son. I can confirm with absolute certainty that it is his jacket, as they can verify by reviewing the camera footage showing me bringing him in it daily. The situation with the jacket highlighted that the school has no lost and found policy in place and teachers claim items as the schools on their own accord.

I was faced with resistance and evasion from the staff when I brought my concerns to their attention. When I asked for the district managers contact information I was told they didn’t know it, yet when I called a different location they provided it to me immediately.

I removed my child from this location and was reimbursed for the jacket and diaper charges. The district manager was very helpful in resolving this issue. Overall I would not recommend this daycare center, there are several better options in the area and I would highly encourage families to look elsewhere.

Horrible experience just trying to get a visit set up. Sounds like everything is run centrally out of state. So they don't communicate with the local schools. Save yourself the hassle and find a school that's actually local. See how they respond with a 1-800 number. I would say before setting your kids up here figure out if you can ever actually talk to somebody who lives in Colorado. All of the information I've gotten from the national call center has been wrong.

La Petite Academy of Greenwood Village has been like family. My wife and I are from California so when we had our first daughter we knew we would need daycare. It can be a scary thing to bring your twelve month old to daycare. I remember being so sad in the parking lot after dropping her off. It didn't take long to realize how happy she was, even when she was so little. From that point on the teachers became like extra parents. They loved our daughter and helped us through parenthood.

We are moving back to California and just had our last day. We had tears in our eyes because our child would no longer get to come to this special place.

She grew so much during her year and a half at La Petite. She would always have new words and loved talking about her friends and teachers. I loved how much art they had the kids do, even at such a young age.

Daycare is difficult, but it is easier with a loving community. I would highly recommend La Petite Academy of Greenwood Village to any parent.

We could not be happier with our daycare choice. We chose it because it was clean, the teachers were open, helpful and respectful, and it was in our target budget range. We loved that meals were a part of the deal, as it took an enormous weight off our shoulders.

They feed my child nutritious food that she likes, keep her bottom clean, and have her engaged and happy. She has a huge smile when we arrive to the toddler room. We love their philosophy of open exploration and group activities.

Their tracking app is great, sometimes we get pictures of her day which we love, and they’re easy to get in touch with via the messaging portion. Highly recommend.

We have been taking our daughter to La Petite in Greenwood Village now for 5 months and we are so happy with the way we have been welcomed into this "family." The transition was very smooth, and they have been so good with developing our daughter. She has been with Ms. Dawn so far, along with other teachers in the later hours of the day, and it is very apparent that our daughter is happy here. Ms. Dawn has been great with communication and has been an integral part of our daughter's development. There is a definite level of care and pride, which we are thankful for. Drop offs are met with big smiles out of our daughter and open arms from the teachers, excited to greet her. Pick Ups are great as well, big smiles and more times than not is being held by the teachers! As time has gone on, our comfort level has improved, and drop offs aren't nearly as difficult as they were in the first few weeks. Thanks so much to the La Petite staff for making this experience rewarding for us!

My daughter has been attending La Petite for the past couple of months and it has been a great experience overall. I am a first time mom and I had a lot of anxiety about taking my four month old to day care. If I would have known how smooth the transition would have been and how truly wonderful the staff are, I would not have had such bad anxiety. They truly care about each child they care for. My daughter has grown so much in just the few months she has been there. I have to give a shout out to Miss Dawn in the infant room because she has just been so amazing and I am beyond grateful for her and everything she does!

Our children have been attending this daycare for over 3.5 years, both since 3 months old. One of the most important things about a daycare is the staff. Caring, loving, and kind teachers make it or break it. We have been fortunate to have numerous consistent teachers throughout our time here that truly love our children. Our children are smart, confident, social, adaptable, creative, and independent from coming here. At the end of the day they share joyful moments about their day, everyday. There is an app that keeps you updated about meals, potty, naps, and activities. Sometimes they even send pictures or videos. A bonus, our kids now have rock solid immune systems. Daycares have a lot of turnover, and this La Petite is no exception. It’s frustrating and hard for the kids when teachers come and go but when new teachers come, our children grow to love them too. We’ve seen a lot of management changes. We’ve had at least 5 different directors over the years. When issues have come up I had to address them head on with teachers, directors, and regional managers. It’s never fun to share concerns but it’s essential to help staff improve. This daycare isn’t perfect but it has been wonderful for our family. There have been a handful of 1 star rating moments, countless moments of 5 stars, and everything in between. We are moving away and our children are sad to leave the friendships they have built here and the teachers who have helped them thrive.
