Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Sarasota, FL. We serve communities in Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Ellenton, Palmetto, Parish, and Lakewood Ranch. I am Kimberly Sewell, the director. I have over 30 years of experience in the early education childhood field with 27 of them being with La Petite Academy. I started my career with La Petite as a two-year old teacher and quickly became part of the management team. My favorite part of my career is creating those life long relationships with families and watching their children learn and grow on a daily basis.
