La Petite Academy
of Ankeny, IA

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Ankeny, IA. My name is Cherie, school director, and I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about the infant care, preschool programs and staff that make our school a special place for learning.

I have had many roles at the school including teacher, cook, associate center director and now, center director. I am very proud of my staff – we have two teachers on staff with over 15 years of experience. We have another staff member with a CDA and two with their B.A.s in education.

I run this learning center like everyone involved is an extension of my own family. Our center has an inviting, home-like atmosphere and I maintain an open-door policy for anyone who would like to talk. We plan a lot of events for everyone to participate in and I work hard to ensure that families here in Ankeny meet each other and develop strong relationships, as well.

Our school participates in the CACFP Federal food program, as well as the Quality Rating System through the state of Iowa. We are currently a Three Star center and have been serving all the elementary schools in the community for over 20 years

I invite you to come in for a tour and see what makes our La Petite Academy in Ankeny, IA so special.
