We’re thrilled with La Petite; safety, learning environments and staff. Our daughter looks forward to spending her day there with Ms Acacia and Ms Ginger. We LOVE the bright room app, it’s wonderful to be able to quickly communicate, she photos and get updates re:eating habits and other activities. We would definitely recommend La Petit to friends and family.

LPA (Madison - Fourier Dr.) has been fantastic. The staff are professional, dependable, very approachable, friendly, and very very good with the kids. I am always in awe of what they do and deal with on a daily basis because I know for certain that I couldn't do it.

Best teachers and director. They truly love my children.

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.
