Our Child Care Curriculum

A Curriculum that Prepares Children for Lifelong Learning

From infancy to preschool to kindergarten, at La Petite Academy your child will engage in exciting learning activities specifically designed to meet her developmental needs and help her advance to the next level. Our Journey™ Curriculum emphasizes language and literacy, cognitive development, social-emotional skills, physical activity and creativity.

Our core principles begin with the simple truth that each child has a unique and individual nature, worthy of respect, nurture and celebration. We believe that children are natural learners who gain knowledge by doing and communicating — that is why we always plan active and engaging experiences for your child. It is our goal to facilitate experiences that promote children’s natural curiosity to actively learn, while creating an environment that allows children to grow and develop at their own pace.

Beyond the classroom, our Whole Child Education philosophy focuses on the idea that vigorous and intentional play experiences are healthy and essential for young children. Part of this philosophy also includes the belief that positive relationships with peers and caring adults promote social and emotional skills that lay the foundation for lifelong success.

Education Leadership

Each program at La Petite Academy is created by our own Education Department experts who have decades of experience in formal graduate work, teaching and developing curriculums. In consultation with nationally recognized outside experts, they formulate thousands of activities for teachers to choose from, each tied to specific learning objectives.

Our curriculum provides a balanced education for your child at every level of early development. And we go beyond basic academics by instilling positive traits that will lead to a lifetime of success through our proprietary Kids of Character program.
