I like that the school is offering nutritious meals, we feel that she is in good hands.

Initially I was nervous to start my child in childcare since she's our first. The teachers in her classroom have been amazing. We really enjoy receiving pictures of her daily to see what she's up to. Our child is happy when we drop her off, no tears, and happy when we pick her up. We are very glad she's able to gain social skills and make new friends. Overall we couldn't be more pleased to have her

We transferred our daughter into the toddler room at this location from another location and we were apprehensive at first but only had great experiences. The teachers are so caring and attentive to our slightly introverted toddler. We are so happy here

My child loves La Petite. She’s learning so much and making great friends. She’s a very picky eater and the teachers have really helped her explore and try new foods! She’s always excited to go and shared some great stories of her day with us of her day.

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.
