Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in Albuquerque, NM, a nationally accredited educational daycare serving families with high-quality child care and early education for children ages six weeks to 12 years. Conveniently located on the Southwest side of Albuquerque near the West Mesa area, we offer programs designed to support children through every stage of growth and development, including Infant Care, Preschool, and School-Age programs.
During the school year (August–May), we proudly offer the free New Mexico Pre-K Grant Program, available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., helping children build a strong foundation for kindergarten success.
Our School-Age classroom features exciting technology enhancements designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving, including iPads with apps for art, music, and video creation, moviemaking tools, coding robots, and more.
We’re committed to keeping families connected throughout the day while children are in our care. Through SproutAbout, our exclusive family communication app, parents receive real-time updates and can access live-streaming classroom video for added peace of mind.
