Our experience at La Petite Academy, Gibson location, was extremely concerning over the course of enrollment from Spring 2024 through August 2025. Physical Abuse: In August 2025, teacher Miss Hilary pulled my child around by the hand squeezing in a painful grip. My child broke free and ran away out of fear and hid in the bathroom. Miss Hilary tried to physically block me from searching and was terminated the following day. Neglect / Food Issues: The facility participates in a food program but consistently served inadequate... read more
Horrible staff unprofessional and incompetent> Abusive with kids.
THE ENVIRONMENT IS NOT NURTURING TO CHILDREN AT ALL!!! My grandson attended this daycare for one day only. If your have children with developmental delays or autism, or any other emotional/developmental issue, DO NOT USE THIS DAYCARE. My daughter was convinced to use this daycare because they had cameras. I watched my grandson all day. He was visually (the camera has no audio) crying and having a meltdown in the morning. No one approached him to try and console him or calm him down. He was obviously upset. He didn't ... read more
In the description of this “daycare” the adjective “nurturing” is used. Evidently this daycare’s definition of “nurturing” is far from the correct one. I would never recommend this daycare to anyone who wants their child nurtured, because the times I watched the “live” video footage, no nurturing ever took place. Children were upset and crying; they were never approached by an adult. The other children in the class approached the upset children to console them. I’m so glad that my niece took my nephew out of this so-called d... read more

This was a great center with great staff until about 3 weeks ago. The long time director left and a new director was hired, Toni. She has created nothing but chaos in this school for parents. She has un-enrolled at least 2 students for no reason. She did not work with the students or parents, gave no notice and just un-enrolled them. I have seen her very combative, especially with fathers. She is rude on the phone and does not want to hear anything. As a single father, this is troubling, and that is why I pulled my child.

I live behind the building and work outside all day. I would never send my child here. All the kids do the entire time they're outside is fight and cry, literally non-stop. I put in earbuds and blast music as loud as I can tolerate to try to drown it out. The teachers either do nothing but let them cry or yell at them to stop. I've heard teachers verbally abuse them in the past as well. I even called CPS at one point. I've lived here 14years and it's been going on the whole time.
My daughter has been at La Petite Baines Ct. for the past several months. She was welcomed with open arms and has had such caring teachers that have provided educational activities where I can tell she has progressed so much both socially as well as in her vocabulary. They have not only fostered her learning, but provided a safe place for her to just "be a kid". She comes home singing new songs and doing baby yoga!? This has been a wonderful environment for her to learn and grow!
My daughter has attended this center since the infant room. She will now be a PreK student and the love she has received in each class has been wonderful. The teachers and the Director are amazing.
