PLEASE READ!!!!!My daughter started this daycare six months ago. She was in toddler one and obviously it’s hard when they start and we have to leave them there.. all was great the girls in Toddler one are amazing, but as I kept dropping off my daughter and picking her up I had to cross through Toddler 2 to get to toddler 1. The teacher in Toddler 2 was extremely loud and very passive aggressive with the kids, didn’t pay mind to it. My daughter turned 2 and the staff start transition her into Toddler 2 I explained to the staff/Manager Jessica/Kristian All they said was give her a chance and that they will keep there eye open. I said no problem. I work from Home and I watched everyday the cameras to ensure she was safe and happy.
Well on Oct 26th I witnessed on the camera in Toddler 2 the teacher was placing all kids to sleep and I noticed one child running around well she grabbed him by the arm lifted him off the ground and took him lifted in the air to his bed, I couldn’t believe what I saw she could’ve pulled his arm out the socket. Then a girl also got out of her bed and she goes to her and slammed her on the cushion where they sleep. When I saw this I immediately went to her Day Care and told Manager what happen. Teacher ended suspended than fired.
Point is my experience with this Day Care was so concerning and frustrating I DONT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY. The place smells terrible and it’s extremely dirty. My daughter ALWAYS came home with a runny nose and dirty. If you care about your children please don’t visit or leave your child in harms way.

Our Daughter started going to La Petite on Mapledale when she had turned 1 yr and 5 months. Hardest decision we had to make as parents since we were so used to having her with us while we worked from home. From day 1, Jessica was very welcoming and sweet not only with helping me with his transition but also with our daughter. The teachers she has had so far have been nothing but supportive and all hands on deck. You are able to stream live and make sure that your child is being taken care off. Needless to say the first few months were tough because she would cry and didn’t want us to leave but the teachers always made sure she was not alone and felt love which is important not only to us but our girl too. She doesn’t cry anymore and feels happy to be there, sometimes makes it hard at pick up because she doesn’t want to leave. Jessica assured me that things would turn around for our daughter and here we are. We want to thank Jessica and the staff for always making sure our daughter is taken care off at all times. I can always count for a quick response when I have a question. Thank you ??

Worse daycare I experienced they price high for no reason its nothing caring or compassionate about this facility. They all about the money. Everytime I went to pick my child up her nose was always runny and she stayed sick. They let big kids come in the area where only babies should be. All in all I found a way better and reasonable price daycare that actually care for the well-being of the children. They won’t be in business for to long with the workers they hired at that facility. Rate is 2 out of 10. The only good thing about it is they kept you updated through a app about your child and you could watch your child on video throughout the day.when I did watch the video the staff picked up the babies like they was rag dolls. They carried the babies by one arm clutching the child stomach. They let your child cry for over 30 minutes and walk pass the babies like they not there. It was a horrible thing to watch. I found my child a way better daycare quick
