About La Petite Academy of Converse
Academic Preschool with Streaming Video
Operating in Converse since 1986, this 3-star Texas Rising Star accredited center provides a structured academic environment using the exclusive 'Learn from the Start' curriculum. The facility serves children from 6 weeks up to 12 years old, offering specialized programs for infants, toddlers, and a private kindergarten option. A standout feature for modern parents is the SproutAbout app, which provides live streaming video of classrooms and real-time updates throughout the day. The interior layout includes dedicated learning centers for math, science, and creative arts, complemented by a large outdoor playground. Beyond standard care, the center offers elective programs such as Spanish, Yoga, and Soccer. While the facility provides robust academic and technological resources, recent parent feedback has highlighted inconsistencies in staff retention and facility maintenance that prospective families may wish to evaluate during a tour.
What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
We have been apart of this daycare for about a year & a half now and we love it! Ms. Lea goes above & beyond for the kids. They have helped with potty training & transitioning of classes. My daughter’s teachers Ms. Jaelyn & Ms. Anna are amazing & very communicative. I love that I can check the cameras during the day. They do lots of crafts & my daughter has learned so much since attending such as ABCs and songs. Definitely recommend!
We have been bringing our kids here for about a year now and we absolutely love it. The whole center looks amazing, the teachers are so polite and sweet. Ms Lea, the director, does such an amazing job and answering our questions. Ms Danielle, Ms Zeli and Ms Alorah are always welcome with warming hearts. We always love coming in to get our kids, everyone is so welcome, they answer all our questions and concerns we love the sproutAbout app and the camaras. Thank you all! We love you guys!!
Love Ms.Lea!! She has been a blessing to my children for almost two years now!! She is selfless , understanding and flexible! She makes me feel as though my children are loved and seen! My kids are treated as individuals and she prioritizes their safety! Don’t get me wrong not everything about the staff/kiddos has been great!! But once Ms.Lea or the assistant director has been notified of the problems they are on it!! I love the cameras they are the reason I choose La Petite!
As a mother, finding a daycare that feels safe, loving, and supportive is everything — and Ms. Lea and her amazing team have truly become family. From the moment my daughter walked into this center, she has been welcomed with warmth, patience, and genuine care. Ms. Lea is a phenomenal director. You can see her heart in every detail — the way she greets the children by name, how she communicates with parents, and how she creates an environment where every child feels seen and valued. Her leadership sets the tone for the entire daycare. My daughter’s teachers are incredibly kind, attentive, and nurturing. They go above and beyond to make sure she is learning, growing, and having fun every day. I’ve watched my daughter become more confident, social, and excited about school because of them and my efforts as a parent. Thank you !
My daughter has been going here for the past two years, and everyone is so loving and caring, from the directors to the teachers, even some parents! My daughter always looks forward to going to school to see all her favorite people. This facility has cameras so I can watch what my daughter is doing at all times. It is a secure place with codes that need to be entered as you walk in both doors. I feel safe leaving my daughter here with the teachers. They always keep me up to date if she is ever feeling sick or if an accident happened. They've also helped me with keeping her potty trained, which I'm so grateful for. We love this location so much and I plan on keeping her there until she is able to go to elementary school.

The facility is currently a Texas Rising Star accredited 3-star center.
Parent Reputation

Parents frequently praise the current director and specific long-term teachers for being nurturing, but recent 1-star reviews cite high staff turnover, lack of communication, and a 'dirty' environment. Use of the SproutAbout and Brightwheel apps for real-time updates and live video is a highlighted positive feature.

Staff members have described being overworked and under-supported by upper management, though some employees noted a positive and collaborative environment among coworkers.
