5 out of 5 stars

I always feel like my child is safe and loved. The teachers tell me about my little guys day and it helps so much to know that I don’t have to worry about him. The team you have is amazing.

Enrolled Family

Our experience thus far has been fantastic. All of our child’s teachers are warm and caring and our child is quick to smile when welcomed in the morning. The interactive activities he engages in are creative and fun. The staff is really everything though and our teachers have been wonderful so far! Looking forward to our child continuing to learn and grow at this school!

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.
