La Petite Academy of Orangeburg

My rating is based on their services overall. I placed my daughter here last year (Aug 2015) in their 2's class and she just moved up to the 3's class. Here you get that level of professionalism and yet heart warming care for the kids. When ever I had a concern and brought it to their attention they were quick to clarify any confusion or remedy the issue immediately. My daughter loves to go to "school" and I'm positive it's because of the continued care, support and learning she gets from this place. Diverse staff, open space and open door policy is what also sold us. More recently they introduced their Precioustatus App which gives us live updates (activities, photos, naps, eating habits, potty habits...). So if you happen to tour and see the staff walking around with an ipad/smart phone, don't judge so quickly :-) It's part of the job to update using those devices. Their summer camp is set up with activities and it always seems like playtime 24/7 which is fine with me. During the school season (Sept-mid Jun) they have a set curriculum you can review yourself. Our daughter is thriving beyond our expectations. They helped her during potty training. They won't push a child into potty training if the child and/or parent is not interested in early potty training, they have respect for your preferences....but no bottles for nap time, this is for ALL daycare centers and for the kids safety! My husband and I had our daughter iwth a Nanny since birth so placing her was tough, REALLY TOUGH. I had a few hiccups along the road but most of them were attributed to my fear of leaving my little girl in someone else's care other than her Nanny! Express your concerns and the staff will help reassure your decision was well made. Trust me, I was losing my mind lol, they were able to console me. P.S. While I have yet to enroll my infant, they have a great infant center with the most awesome staff members! Good luck!
