Supporting Our Community
As always, we’re proud to support our community. It starts with a healthy, safe environment when your child is away from home. Learn how we prioritize the well-being of your children and our staff.
Plus, read how we keep learning on track for elementary school students with The Prep Lab, offering distance learning support and extra math and literacy experiences in summer camp.
Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Albuquerque, NM! We are located in the Ladera shopping center. My name is Orlina and I am the director. I have an associate's degree in early childhood education and more than 30 years of experience as a teacher and manger.
We are accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation and our school offers Preschool, Pre-kindergarten and other Age-Specific programs.
I run my learning center like everyone involved is a part of my family. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment and maintain an open door policy for everyone. We plan a lot of fun activities for our children and families to help build strong relationships.
I am fortunate to have a staff that loves their children and is dedicated to making sure they have a great experience at school. All staff is required to receive 30 hours of ongoing training throughout the year.
