What Parents Say
5 reviews from parents
This daycare is the best place to have my three year old son at. We love his teacher Miss.Laura she is so nice and caring and is amazing with the children and her co-teacher Miss.Faith is also wonderful with the children and steps in whenever she’s needed. We love the staff and the amazing environment they provide for the children. Would highly recommend bringing your kiddos here!
As a dad of four kids ranging in age from 3 to 12, choosing the right school was incredibly important to me and La Petite Academy has exceeded every expectation. All four of my children attend here, and I couldn’t be happier with the care and education they receive. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and truly invested in the kids. My children are learning so much, and it shows every day. Miss Becca and Miss Katrina are absolutely amazing they go above and beyond and genuinely care about each child and family. The teachers as a whole are outstanding. One thing I really appreciate as a parent is the ability to view the cameras with no time limit. It gives me peace of mind knowing I can check in on my kids anytime. I also love how well they balance outdoor play with indoor learning, keeping the kids engaged, active, and happy. I’m incredibly grateful for La Petite Academy and would highly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, caring, and enriching environment for their children.
La Petite on Guilbeau Road has been such a great decision for my family! Six years ago I found this location with my first child before COVID-19 changed everything. It was wonderful then, but the pandemic forced us to relocate. Returning a few months ago after a bad experience with a care provider has been such a stress reliever. They are the most warm, competent, & compassionate group of educators! This Mom has peace of mind leaving her little in the best care!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my daughter Adelina receives at La Petite Academy. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about each child’s well-being. My daughter always looks forward to her time there, and I’ve noticed so much growth and happiness since she started. The environment is nurturing, clean, and full of engaging activities that keep her excited to learn and explore. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her!
My son started attending La Petite since he was 4 months old and the school staff has been wonderful with him. He loves Ms. Alondra and lights up every morning to see her. I love how engaged they are with the kids and would definitely recommend.
Web Report
Aggregated insights from public records & parent discussions
Safety Record
No major news-making incidents or closures were specifically linked to the 9401 Guilbeau Rd location. The facility holds an active state license (License #219807) and is not listed among San Antonio centers flagged for high-risk violations. However, verified parent reviews have cited specific safety concerns including injuries in the toddler room due to perceived lack of supervision and privacy issues regarding the open design of children's restrooms.
Parent Reputation
The academy has a generally positive reputation, with a 4.27-star rating across 46 reviews on ResellerRatings and positive mentions on Winnie. Parents highly value the SproutAbout app for live-streaming and real-time updates, as well as the 'School Readiness Pathway' curriculum. Negative feedback typically focuses on inconsistent staffing for school-age children and difficulty resolving enrollment or billing promises.
Staff Insights
Leadership is currently cited as Director Rebecca Collins and Assistant Directors Yulianna and Katherine. Employee feedback for the broader San Antonio area suggests a culture of high turnover and low pay ($10–$13 per hour), which some staff claim leads to understaffing. Teachers have reported being moved between different age groups frequently to maintain ratios and occasionally noted high-stress environments.
