At La Petite Academy, we’re proud to support our educators, so they can be effective in sharing our research-based curriculum and inspiring the development of children in all our programs. That’s why we work tirelessly to help them develop their skills and further their careers, so they can become the best educators they can—and your child gets the best experience possible.

La Petite Academy’s Learning Management System: Our professional development tool provides current training on child development and classroom best practices.

Child Development Associate Credential (CDA): We’ve partnered with the Council for Professional Recognition to provide a CDA Preparation Program. Our online courses enable teachers to pursue a nationally recognized CDA credential.

Master Teacher Program: Once they’ve earned their CDA, teachers can enroll in our Master Teacher Program, to develop even further. They’ll discover advanced courses in child development, assessment, and curriculum implementation. Once the program is completed, our Master Teachers become mentors to our new teachers.

School Education Manager Program: This unique training program produces curriculum experts. School Education Managers (SEMs) enjoy ongoing professional development and learn about classroom observation and evaluation. They coach and mentor other teachers to ensure a quality educational experience across all our programs.

Teacher Feature

January & February

Miss Jill is an integral part of our school! Many of our staff members have not known it without her. She started her career in early education right here at La Petite Academy of Shelby in North Carolina three decades ago! That’s an impressive 30 years of influence on countless La Petite students and families. With an associate degree in the field and copious amounts of real-world experience, Miss Jill always goes above and beyond to lend a helping hand in any of our classrooms. She serves as our Team Lead and Safety Captain too, helping us ensure the health and well-being of all children in our care. Families and fellow educators recognize her contributions daily. Thank you for all you do, Miss Jill! 

Our Curriculum

Science, technology, engineering, and math are the building blocks of our curriculum, because they’re fundamentally a part of the way young children interact with the world.
