Continuous Improvement

Our curriculum is based on over 35 years of innovation and is constantly evolving to incorporate the best early childhood education teaching practices. As it evolves, it is also important to test the strength of our programs as well as our child assessment tools.

Galileo, an independent third-party assessment tool used in many public and private schools around the country, helps us determine the overall effectiveness of our curricula. Based on the Galileo data, we know that children who consistently attend La Petite Academy over the course of a school year learn at an accelerated pace compared with what is typically expected of children in the same age groups.

2005-2006 Assessment Results

This year's study - which more than tripled last year's sample size - evaluated 2,400 students in 115 Academies throughout the country. Children who completed La Petite Academy's Preschool Program during the 2005-2006 school year, on average, more than doubled expected developmental gains in learning early math skills and also made significant improvements in language and literacy, nearly doubling expected developmental gains.
