La Petite Academy of Trussville - Birmingham, Alabama

Do not take your kids to this daycare!!! I witness on many occasions them not feed my 8 month old baby because she wasn’t holding her bottle yet, she also stayed very sick at this place to the point she was very fragile and weak. During this time when she was weak and barely eating they would try to force her to hold her bottle or didn’t feed her they would try to force her to walk or crawl or they’ll leave her on the floor by herself crying or throw her in the crib. The director “Jenny” or Jennifer whatever her name is is very disrespectful she told me my child was under developed as if she had the credentials to say so all while looking like a ex drug addict. The only thing that saved her from putting my hands on her was my child and the rest of the kids around at the moment please don’t send your child here this was months ago and I see she is still there and receiving more complaints. Also I had a family member who attended this daycare years ago and her mother sued because she picked up her kid one day with a busted face and no explanation I wasn’t aware until after our incident here

My daughter attended this daycare for a months 2 or 3 days a week

My son was attending this daycare for a whole year. When he first started it was a completely different director who was very sweet and didn’t play about the kids at all. She would go and read books to the kids and actually comfort the kids. which the new director “Janay” doesn’t do at all She walk around with an attitude all day everyday she have an attitude about running the classroom when a teacher is out. I wouldn’t recommend any kids here at all. If something happens to your child she will not report it to the parent. So if your child is attending this daycare please watch the cameras at all times! Something might happen that is serious and you won’t know cause she won’t tell you. She will go about her day. My son was unenrolled because a situation with a teacher named Andrea who call herself putting my non verbal son in timeout during lunch time like I wasn’t watching her on camera, I immediately left work to go see about my child to see why he was in time out “isolated away from the other kids” during LUNCH. I finally get to the daycare to ask why is my son in time out her response was “I was trying to help him out” how isolating him away from the other kids is helping him? DO NOT PLAY WITH MY CHILD! This is not only the 1st incident that happened there are several.. the director (Janay) still haven’t addressed the issue about an incident that happen with an ADHD kid slapping my child the reason I know about that because of his teacher informed me about that! but she wants to jump in the conversation with me and the teacher Andrea. Now my son is unenrolled which is fine because I stood up for him! And just imagine if I wasn’t watching the cameras. I wouldn’t know she put him in time out honestly. she looked as if my child was bothering her. Which would be so crazy if you deal with multiple kids everyday seems to me that being at a daycare might not be the right career for her. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE. The director do not care about you, nor your child. She is there for the money maybe and also the maintenance man for sure that she seem to be seeking. Very disturbing for the kids.

I seriously do not understand who in their right mind would willingly allow their child to go this facility. Read the reviews….the only good reviews are from years ago. My child attended for all of 10 minutes. “something” told me to go and get my child. I never left the parking lot before going back in. I go back in he is sitting a table by himself on his first day, crying his eyes out while being stared at by the (horrible) teachers and other children. No one tried to console him, comfort him or anything. It was his first time in daycare and they basically just threw him to the side. I understand the school is full of children, but on his first day you don’t do anything to make him a little comfortable? I pulled my child out and never looked back. I’m not sure if the center director is the same but she needs to go into another field. Disgusting establishment I’m convinced the parents who take their child there have no other option or simply do not care. My child is THRIVING at his current school. He needed no consolation whatsoever. He went inside of his new establishment happy and content. La Petite is a sad excuse for child care.

I have been looking for a daycare for my two children. I have a 5 year old and 2 year old. We had our tour scheduled here and my kids were super excited about since they have never been to daycare. Our tour was scheduled for 12 but we got there a little early about 10-15 minutes early. We were let in and the lady at the desk was eating and seemed a little bugged about us being early but hey I get it every one needs to have lunch. So I said we will go wait outside till she’s ready. She comes out and get us, we sit down and i fill out some form on a tablet. Then after filling it out she says “ He’s two right”. I said yes then she says “ oh that class is all filled up” like what ? Why not tell me that over the phone 3 days ago when the tour was scheduled. It was extremely aggravating that I got my children ready loaded them up in the car and drove 25 minutes and waited outside to go in there for 3 minutes just for her to say it was full. A complete waist of my time and gas. They knew how old my kids were because I gave that info while scheduling the tour.

I would never send my child here again. The daycare is filthy your child comes home with dirty clothing, socks, nails. The workers do not care for children as they should. Would give 0 stars if it was available. I gave them a chance despite their reviews but that was a HUGE mistake. 3 incidents occurred within 4 days of my child being there. Totally unacceptable!

I went a few weeks ago and me and the kids were so excited especially since it was in Trussville when we arrived no one was in the front to do the walk through someone finally came so we were still excited baby no all the kids face were dirty not one or two or three but literally everyone the place smelled like it looked no one was teaching the kids I was very disappointed even the teacher were dirty

My child has only been attending a few weeks now, but wow what a great environment. My son started when he was six weeks old and I've had no problems. Just yesterday when I went to pick him up (now 9 weeks), he was smiling away at the teachers. Wanda is absolutely wonderful! She is in the infant room and I'd trust her with my kid any day. My son also seems to really like her. Just stop by and look how happy the kids are in the infant room. That's all I can speak of as of right now. You'll love Wanda once you meet her.

My son was here for about two weeks. He never received his mailbox, cubby, or assigned teacher. I feel he was labeled and the staff treated him accordingly. My mom overheard staff members encouraging physical violence between kids to one of the child's parents. One of my son's teacher was extremely nonchalant! I watched a child hit my son, my son told her, and she did not address this until I made my presence aware. I am grateful he was not there any longer or didn't stay long. My son will not be defined by society stereotypes especially at a child learning center. He attended in August 2015, and whenever we will drive by he speaks on his experience...3 year old. God bless, no way!
