La Petite Castle Rock has been an incredible experience for us! Miss Tamara, Miss Sarah, and Miss Sabina are all an incredible team, ensuring the best care for their children. I always feel comfortable to express any potential concerns or questions to this wonderful “A-star” team, knowing it will be addressed with care, respect and fairness. The security is always intact, with double sign in codes, and the facility is clean. The staff are welcoming, warm and always seem happy to be there, which speaks volumes for us. Children are laughing, and learning whenever I walk in. My child is learning so much from a curriculum standpoint, but also socially and through the relationships there. I feel confident my child will be prepared for kindergarten! So happy here!

If I could, I would give it 10 stars. Everything starts well at the reception, the director Mrs. Tamara and the assistant Mrs. Sarah are super attentive and cheerful, a very good vibe! Security, transparency, organized. They provide food, which is great, one less thing I need to worry about, my son can't eat milk and they are super careful about that. Teacher Bella is careful and loving. Parents have access to the live camera, and the entire report of how the child's day went. I feel safe leaving my son with this school.

My daughter attended school here in the Pre-K class. The director Tamara is absolutely amazing and my daughter enjoys coming here to see her and always comes home saying how she was her favorite. I felt she truly cared about my family. The school is very responsive and does a great job sending out daily updates for activities as well as pictures to go along. The teachers are great and worked with my daughter to help her feel comfortable and have a great day as this was her first time being in a school setting. The classroom setting is educational and fun. The facility is clean and the curriculum is great. Not only was my daughter learning in the classroom but she was given a binder with work pages to do at home and she enjoys doing her work book every night! I love the location it was an easy commute between home and work. I always knew my daughter was safe when I dropped her off and loved being able to see what she was doing on the cameras that is definitely a great feature this school provided. I recommend anyone looking for new care or first time care to bring their kiddos here!

If i could give them 0 stars i 100% would. My son was there for 8 months and i felt guilty dropping him off there. Not only is the place absolutely disgusting, they have no curriculum to prepare children for Kindergarten and they have a high amount of staff turnover. Absolutely 0 consistency. I will also mention that teachers failed to check my child in after his grandmother dropped him off, so when i went to go pick him up, they told me he was never there. When i started to panic and my mother confirmed that she had dropped him off, the Director Heidi had told me "it would be a 5 dollar charge for not checking him in". 0 sense of urgency for my child's whereabouts, she was irritated with my concern of where my child was. District manager had her call for "an apology so we could build trust" and she actually called with the excuse that she just didn't see his face that day. They also let anyone in, they don't ID which is extremely unsettling as anyone can walk in. Due to never having consistent staff members, they let anyone check your children out. Please if you have kiddos. Take them anywhere BUT here.

I have one toddler attending La Petite - Mrs. Laura is fantastic with him and the other toddlers. She is so creative with activities for the kids and gives both updates on the app and in person on how he is doing. The love and care she shows is noticed is so much appreciated. She is meant for childcare and does an amazing job everyday with a smile on her face. We so much appreciate her.

Since new management, this place has really turned around! You can tell by just walking in that the kids and the staff love to learn and teach. I went in for a tour and decided to enroll right there because I was so impressed with the facility and new management. Ms. Megan is a great addition to the staff and you can tell that she loves her job and working with the kids. If you are looking for quality care for kids between infants to school age, enroll here!

Literally felt like a bad parent taking my daughter there. My daughter is 4 and came from a Montessori school with no issues. After less than a full week at this school I have decided to transfer her elsewhere. They have cameras that parents have access too and I would regularly check, and all I saw was chaos the teachers had zero control over the children and often weren’t paying very good attention or just didn’t care. I witnessed one child sitting on another child’s head for a solid minute and the teacher hadn’t seen it at all. Not the amount of times I’ve seen children unsupervised with small objects in their mouth. I wonder how I’m noticing thing while working my job but they aren’t noticing when it is part of their job. My main complaint is that I didn’t see what happened but I saw my child holding an ice pack to her face. When picking her up I asked the teacher if anything happened and how her day was, all I was told was that she didn’t nap, I then mentioned that I SAW her with an ice pack and that’s when the teacher decides to tell me my child and another girl got in an argument and scratched each other. But that she asked my 4 yr old if she wanted to let me know and my child said no so she didn’t feel the need to tell me. -.- I was then informed by another teacher incident reports are only made if the child has a mark on them. When I told her that my child did have a mark (a tiny cut on her cheek) I was told I could email the director who was on vacation regarding the teachers error. Not to mention they lost my child’s blanket and I was able to find it but for some reason the people who work there couldn’t and when my child came home with no shoelaces I asked the teacher and she had no idea my child was even missing shoelaces (another perfectly safe object for children to play with unsupervised 🙄). I feel very lied to by the director megan about what kind of a “school” she was running. My child didn’t learn anything the entire time she was there all the kids do is run wild and maybe 30 minutes of craft time that is also very chaotic as the children are in control and not the teachers. I also witnessed the teachers updating the parent app inaccurately for example my child had barely gotten her food and was marked “age all her lunch”. Did not trust my child there at all. There’s also a blonde teacher there (don’t know her name) who must not have seen me walk in to pick up my child because she was yelling at all those kids so loudly and so rudely I would have lost it if I wasn’t scared of my child getting the repercussions. As you can tell very very displeased with this childcare facility. Very grateful to be removing my child.

Our son, Ethan, loves attending La Petite in Castle Rock! When we were researching day cares, we visited this La Petite, and Ethan immediately took to the teachers. A year later, he still loves his class and talks about his teachers and friends on the weekends. When the firefighters visited the school, I attended, and the directors took photos and sent them to me. There are always new projects and art on the wall. It's proof the children are learning a lot and enjoying what they are learning. The directors and staff are not just good at what they do, they also show true compassion for the children and parents.
