Absolutely amazing. Ms. Lisa is a phenomenal teacher and caring person. She is always the first one at daycare and our child is too. She is always so happy to see our child and is genuine at all times with him. She cares for the children so very much as do all the teachers in the school. When we pick up our child, the teachers in the infant room always tell us how his day was. Smile and greet

La petite is very responsive to all my questions and concerns. They help me get the best care for my children for the summer. The location is great, the staff is great, and the kids don't usually even want to go home when I get there to pick them up.

Thank you, La Petite, for everything you have done for our son! The director and teachers partnered with me from the start, helping me overcome first-time-mom nerves. Now I'm completely confident knowing his teachers love and care for him.

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.
