She seemed to like it. I know there's a long wait list to enroll in my hometown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197404 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 04:15:21 +0000 mediagirl 2197404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like the one near us because of their open floor plan. All of the rooms are open and flow into one another. We toured at nap time and walked through all of the sleeping children. There was no way not to distribute then as we went through. That part just wasn't for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197288 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 21:13:04 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2197288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Good to know!</p> <p>@FaithFertility: Definitely sounds like a good sign! :wink: </p> <p>@avivoca: Thanks! I know the individual centers might vary a bit...but all of the kids, parents, and teachers we saw today (near the end of the school day) looked very happy. That, in addition to the actual philosophies and protocols, made quite an impression! Which class is your LO in?</p> <p>@sarah.clarisse: Very cool. :happy: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197253 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:28:03 +0000 sarah.clarisse 2197253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't use them because they didn't have openings when we moved near one but are at another similar center. My brothers girlfriend is a teacher at one and she is always doing so many fun things with her class (preschool age). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197222 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:02:47 +0000 avivoca 2197222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H is in a La Petite center! I really like it there. We toured it and a Bright Horizons center and La Petite felt very homey and fun. The Bright Horizons looked like a school and was so sterile feeling. It's not cheap, but We are very happy there and H is learning so much.</p> <p>ETA: Wall me if you want more info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197199 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 19:47:18 +0000 FaithFertility 2197199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a local one and they pick up many students from my school for after care! They have a packed bus :) So must be popular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197198 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 19:46:17 +0000 mfa_lady 2197198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a well-respected company in my area. My friend's son attends one, and they absolutely love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/la-petite-academy#post-2197190 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 19:36:26 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2197190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I took a tour of our location today and were favorably impressed (good child:staff ratios, very clean and secure environment, "family-style" meals with all but the tiniest kids sitting in chairs)!</p> <p>Does anyone have any personal experience with this company (now part of the Learning Care Group )? According to Wikipedia, there are a total of 460 centers in 34 states and D. C.! :shocked: </p>
