Supporting Our Community
As always, we’re proud to support our community. It starts with a healthy, safe environment when your child is away from home. Learn how we prioritize the well-being of your children and our staff.
Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy-Shades Crest! My name is Quenette and I am the academy director! I have been with La Petite Academy for more than seven years and I absolutely love what I do!
We are QRIS star rated and offer infant, toddler, preschool, and after-school care programs. Each classroom is instructed by educators who have a passion for what they do. Our teachers have Alabama Early Learning Guidelines credentials and are CPR and First Aid certified. Each classroom has a curriculum specifically created for their age group.
We take pride in making sure safety, quality care, and education is implemented successfully and we work cohesively with our families to ensure the needs of every child are met. Three ways we are implementing safety, quality care, and education is by:
• Practicing cleanliness and good hygiene with the children and our staff, including frequent hand washing and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and items in classrooms
• Requesting parents remain in common areas only and not enter classrooms
• Conducting regular A.M. wellness checks to monitor how children are feeling
• Keeping children in groups of less than 11
• We recommend all children over the age of 2 to wear a mask.
• All staff members must wear a mask.
We’re excited to share that within a few months, our school will offer WatchMeGrow live video streaming! WatchMeGrow gives you secure access to view your child’s classroom in real-time while your child is in our care – either from a computer or via mobile app.
In addition to our customized curriculum per classroom, we have added our Prep Lab program which will address the lost class time that children have experienced across the country.
