Welcome to our La Petite Academy in Albuquerque, NM. My name is Theresa and I am the director of this 5-Star, NAEYC-Accredited Academy which offers care for infants, Preschool, School-Age programs and the NM Pre-K program. I have more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education and hold an associate's degree in office administration.
I am confident that we offer the best programs in the area because of our wonderful staff with tenures of over 20 years! My teachers stay current on the latest in early childhood development, health and safety by attending monthly training sessions and holding current First Aid and CPR cards.
In addition to our high standards of education and care, we provide a secure building with a front door featuring a key pad entry system; a manager is always onsite and we check photo IDs of persons picking children up. We also offer diapers and wipes for children included in tuition. For parents, we have a mobile app for photos and updates throughout the day to help stay connected with your child.
We offer transportation to three public elementary schools: Dennis Chavez, EG Ross and North Star.
