Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy in Alexandria, VA!

Our programs, Infant through School-Age, aim to develop the "whole child". We use a research based curriculum throughout all of our classrooms. Our curriculum is tailored to each child individually using our "Aware, Care & Share" model.

We have an outstanding group of teachers, most of which have been with La Petite for over 10 years with some exceeding 25 years! Together, they have more than 200 years of experience in early education.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

Our La Petite family is always growing, and we hope you join our family! We look forward to meeting you soon!

Ephraim Duncan, Director

Education: Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Administration

Certifications: CDA

I was born in Chesapeake, Virginia, and moved to Woodbridge at a young age, where I spent most of my formative years. As the youngest of two siblings, I’ve always valued connection, growth, and learning. I’ve worked in Early Childhood Education for the past seven years, and I’m passionate about creating nurturing environments that support children's development and curiosity. My experience has shaped my commitment to fostering inclusive, engaging, and supportive learning spaces for every child.

Each day at La Petite Academy is filled with opportunities for your child to learn, play, explore, and grow. Children explore learning centers, participate in small- and large-group activities, spend time outdoors, and enjoy plenty of opportunities for choice and play. Meals, snacks, and rest are also built into the day, creating a familiar routine that helps children feel comfortable while keeping each day fun and engaging. Daily activities are designed with your child’s age and developmental stage in mind.

Our teachers regularly observe your child’s development and use those insights to plan learning experiences that support their individual needs and growth. Each child has an individual portfolio that grows with them as they move from one age group to the next, capturing their learning, milestones, and accomplishments along the way. Teachers use developmental checklists, work samples, photos, and observations to understand how your child is progressing and identify opportunities to build new skills. Families stay connected every step of the way through SproutAbout updates, family-teacher conferences, and daily conversations with their child’s teachers.

Moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone. Children gradually visit their new classroom, meet their teachers, and become familiar with new routines before the transition. Teachers work together to support continuity, while families receive regular updates throughout the process.
