Welcome to Our School
Dear Pleasanton & Tri-Valley families,
We would like to personally thank you for exploring La Petite Academy of Pleasanton! Since 1995 our center has been tucked safely in the back of the Hopyard Village shopping center (at the corner of Valley Avenue and Hopyard Road). Collectively our staff have over 100 years of teaching experience!

We are a fully comprehensive program with tuition that includes meals, diapers & supplies, and access to our extensive communication app, SproutAbout. Through SproutAbout, you can view a live feed of your child's classroom, receive diaper/potty and meal notifications, and even receive updates on development.
