La Petite Academy of Niceville

My child has had a wonderful experience with La Petite VPK. She adores her teacher, Christina, and loves to come home and tell me about her day. Necole and Tati always make sure to say hello and give my baby girl a compliment. Yaira works so hard and the kids all love her. Christy is always hustling to make sure all the kiddos get a good meal. All of the staff works so hard with a smile on their face. We are truly grateful to have had such a great pre-k experience and will definitely send our next kiddo when he's ready.

All 3 of my children have attended here. It has been amazing watching ms. Erica go from VPK teaching my first, to the assistant director when my second son attended and now, my daughter goes here and she is the director of the building. She always goes above and beyond for not only the children who attend here but her staff too. I am very grateful La petite has been apart of our lives over the years and it’s been awesome watching the center grow and change in so many positive ways.

This may be a long post but is absolutely. At La Petite Academy of Niceville, our family felt welcomed with open arms, creating a loving and friendly atmosphere that truly fosters a sense of belonging. The dedicated staff and director played a pivotal role in my son's development, significantly enhancing his growth through a thoughtfully designed curriculum tailored to his needs. Their readiness to assist during our transition between duty stations was incredibly reassuring. From day one, the staff displayed remarkable attentiveness and were overly communicative, keeping us informed and involved in our son's progress. They identified specific programs that catered to his developmental milestones. Initially, my son struggled with communication and restroom use, but within just four weeks, they developed a structured schedule that tremendously improved his bathroom independence. The patience, understanding, and nurturing attitude of the team at La Petite Academy made all the difference in my son's life. Their commitment to ensuring each child's growth and well-being sets them apart as a truly exceptional child development center.

Director Erica Quinnell and Assistant Director Yaira Cruz deserve the highest praise. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in creating a positive experience. Erica leads with confidence, clarity, and compassion — she makes you feel heard and supported every step of the way. Yaira is equally impressive, always organized, proactive, and incredibly patient. Together, they create an environment that feels welcoming, efficient, and truly well-run. Their teamwork, communication, and dedication stand out in the best way. It’s rare to find leadership that is both highly capable and genuinely caring, but Erica and Yaira embody exactly that. I’m very grateful for the support and professionalism they consistently show.

My nephews are in the VPK classroom with Mrs. Yaira and Ms. Christina, and I am beyond impressed with the care and education they receive. The teachers are patient, nurturing, and truly invested in the children’s growth. Every time I pick up my nephews, they’re smiling, excited, and eager to talk about their day. That tells me everything I need to know about the wonderful environment these teachers create. As an aunt, it means so much to see them learning, growing, and being loved every single day. I highly recommend this school to any family!
