My children started at La Petite at 2 and 3 years old. Prior to La Petite, they went to two other childcare centers. One was homebased and one was center based. Neither of those places were as good as La Petite.The kids were starting to potty train at home, but La Petite really helped to speed up the process. At La Petite both of my children practiced throughout the day with potty training. La Petite has small, flushing toilets next to short sinks - all perfect sized for toddlers. The restroom area is kept very clean. This is much better than having plastic portable potties that teachers must rinse out. La Petites entire facility is kept very clean. It appears there is a janitor for deep clearing. Also, the teachers are constantly sweeping up and wiping surfaces.One of my favorite parts is that La Petite provides all meals and snacks to the kids.Ms. Gill is the backbone of La Petite - she greets all the children and parents at the door each morning. She is calm but stern and my son and daughter both love her. During the day, she works with the pre-K kids. She taught both of my kids how to hold a pencil, recognize letters, and write their names.My daughter loves Ms. Gill and often talks about her at home. She tells stories about how Ms. Gill motivates her. My son just started Kindergarden and he said, I want to put a picture in the mailbox to Ms. Gill so she doesnt forget about me.Everyday the La Petite sends me reports about what the children are doing via the Brightwheel app. I was able to see pictures of them and read about what activity they were doing.Also, La Petite has added cameras to the facility that provides parents a livestream of the classroom and playground. However, I have not found the need to use the livestream video because I trust La Petite very much. I was able to determine the quality of La Petites childcare by how my children were acting.La Petite was a blessing to find. My kids are happy and have a positive outlook about school. The teachers at La Petite seem to really care about the kids. I have peace of mind each day that they are learning and being cared for in a clean environment.

My two kids went to La Petite and I am happy to share that my kids always looked forward to going to school everyday. Thanks to all the teachers for making their stay so memorable. I would particularly like to thank Mrs. Gill for creating a home atmosphere for my kids. She is such a caring and diligent teacher. She made sure that my kids learn enough to be successful in Kindergarten. Thank you again.

My son attended La Petite for 6 months and it was the best experience we could have hoped for. It was his first time at school and Ms. Desiree the two year old teacher was amazing! She was so kind and truly cares about all of her students. She was a great resource when we started potty training and really helped in the process. All of the other teachers are also so caring and loving. It is the friendliest place I have ever met. You and your child are truly family to them. My son couldnt have been in better hands. We switched schools so my son could start at the school that would become his elementary school long term but I really wanted to take everyone with me!

My daughter was in this school for after school program about 6 years ago. She loves the teachers here. So when I got my son born, my daughter pushed me to send my son to the baby room! My son started at 7 months year old. I was truly worried. All the teachers are CARING about the babies! Mrs Fatima is really patient and sweetheart. We can see all the little babies loves her and like to be around her. The teachers always works hard and try to teach these little ones more interesting things.My son can eat by himself and keeps every neat when he turns 18 months years old. He is so confident to see HI to everyone he meets. The manager Mrs Kamal is nice and is willing to help all the questions. Recently, the fancily got remodeled and most of the toys and equipment were replaced. My son likes all the new chairs , new books and the little sofa in the classroom. He enjoyed his time there and sometimes is willing to stay and asked me to wait in the classroom for a little bit!

My family and I love this place. We moved from the east coast, and the staff helped my sons transition happily. Ms. Danielle is an excellent teacher, with genuine kindness and dedication to the kids. The entire staff and the director are welcoming and dedicated to knowing the children, teaching, and nurturing them. I loved it here!!

If i could give zero stars i would. I would like other families to understand that if you have a gut feeling about something, do not let it go unrecognized. My 4year old was in ms gils class hasnt even been there for longer than 2 months, was smacked on the side of the head and was told to stop crying and lay down... During nap time. There would be days when i would walk in, in the morning and see how badly she spoke to other children. I can only imagine. I pulled my son out immediately following the incident & when i addressed it to kamal the center director she quickly defended her teacher instead of saying sorry and making us feel a bit better. I will be contacting the licensing company. Check older reviews other parents have dealt with situations like this. Trust your gut!!!!! They dont even have a book in sight, they have this app that lets you know what theyre doing throughout the day, and when i asked my son he said they never did any of that. Now i know why, he always said that school was boring.

We enrolled our son in the Infant daycare at La Petite Academy in Diamond Bar. Right from the first day, the staff have been nothing but amazing. They understood our concerns as first time parents and have worked with not only our son but also with us. Infant specific activities, daily reports from the staff at infant care section (Ms.Gracie, Ms.Deepa & Ms.Santosh) kept us completely informed on the progress of our son. We have personally seen every infant given the same special care. Ms. Kamal Gupta (Center Director) was very understanding when we had a personal emergency and have accommodated every adhoc request weve presented them. We feel completely secure knowing that our son would have a quality time at La Petite Academy under their watchful guidance. He just completed a year and we definitely would recommend anyone to give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

If you are looking for high quality family centered child care look no further !! The staff at La Petite Academy in Diamond Bar is absolutely top notch, and they really love your children as if they are family. I am a nurse who also has a bachelors degree in child development so I am picky in terms of my expectations to say the least. We drive almost an hour to bring our kids to this center, and although it is a sacrifice distance wise I wouldnt want my kids anywhere else. We tried another school closer to home (not a la petite) and had a terrible experience, it really made me appreciate that much more. The center director Miss Kamal really leads by example and you feel her warmth and care the minute you walk through the door. They really understand how hard it is to leave your kids in someone elses care and are willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel comfortable. I was encouraged to call and check in, drop in whenever I wanted to check in on my kids, and call with any questions or concerns. They have helped my kids grow so much in terms of both academic and social skills, have helped them share new experiences and try new things (including getting them to eat better). The school is clean, well maintaned, and the playground spaces are safe and age appropriate. They have a great pre-K program geared at school readiness, and my 4 yr old is really going to enter school very well prepared. So if you choose this school you can feel confident you are making the right choice

Better late then never... We had the pleasure to bring our little girl to La Petite for more then a year before we moved out of DB. Between Kamal in the front and Ms.Gracie/Ms.Santosh taking care of our little girl in the infant room, this place is AMAZING!!!Even after moving 20miles away from DB, I continued to drive there just so my daughter could be in the caring hands of Ms.Gracie and Ms.Santosh. We finally had to find a closer place just because the drive/gas was starting to take its toll, but I would not hesitate to take my daughter there again. In fact there are days I wish I could still take her there to be honest.Everyone there really does care for the kids like they were their own.Kamal is very understanding and will bend over backwards for you any day of the week. Ms.Gracie is THE BEST!The West family misses you guys!!!Cres-Anne, Kyle and Keira West
