La Petite Academy of Ventura, Ventura | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I cannot say enough about how WONDERFUL this school is.

My children are absolutely happy, healthy and thriving here.
I have had several experiences with other care centers, and they fall very,very short of the care, and dedication to learning- provided by La Petite.
They have an app that updates me -straight to my phone via email-each time my child basically does anything, also it sends me pictures and keeps me in the loop of daily activities.
The food they provide for the children throughout the day is wholesome and from what I can gather -organic, and GASP my SON who is the world’s pickiest eater- actually EATS it with enjoyment!!!

From day one-Tina, the administrator, has been genuinely caring, patient and is always willing and open to discuss any concerns.
Miss Monica as well as all of the teachers actually, are excellent with my children, and have been more of a teacher and friend -vs just someone who simply “babysits” the kids.

Main thing is- It is a huge relief while working to know that my children are safe, well looked after, and LEARNING.

I absolutely love La Petite and the staff. They provide such a safe, educational, nurturing and active environment at every age group. My daughter walked in to kindergarten so well prepared and it had so much to do with the structure that La Petite provided for her. She learned to develop friendships, she bonded with all of her teachers, she looked forward to going every day. She was full of new fun information at every pick up.
My son has been going since he was an infant and I couldnt imagine takimg him anywhere else. They really take care to correctly transition children from one age group classroom to the next. They are so receptive to emotional or dietary differences and are very willing to work with parents on what their children need. I love the daily updates and I get to see that my sons day is filled with fun, activities, structure, and care.

My toddler daughter started going here only out of convenience – her father urgently needed childcare, and this facility was within his price range and right next to his work. She started part-time.

We increased her to full-time after her part-time nanny became unavailable. As I started to see more of La Petite over the course of two months, I decided to find a better fit for my family and withdraw my daughter from this daycare center. I’ll reserve my criticisms – that are mostly in regards to management – out of respect for my daughter’s kind and hard-working teacher, Ms. Beatriz.

It’s fine for what it is, but parents seeking a different caliber environment and an enhanced experience for their child(ren) may be happier with places such as Ventura Montessori, Children’s World, and The Little Tree Preschool. We certainly are!
