The staff is so warm, friendly, and understanding. I love how everyone, including the directors, remember my child's name and personality traits. They have also been very helpful in supporting my son's physical and social development.

The school is a learning institute, highly accredited, and cares about the safety and education of the children.

My daughter loves going to school and knows all of the teachers by name and is excited to tell them what she is doing after school and on weekends. She has also made some great friends and has been exposed to a ton of different people and cultures. The education is great, seeing her start to learn from day 1 has been phenomenal.

Enrolled Family

We moved our child to La Petite about 3 months ago from a different daycare and are absolutely in love with it. His teachers are AMAZING. They are caring and patient and work with him on skills everyday. We are thrilled with Brightwheel and love getting updates throughout the day and being able to message his teachers. I cannot say enough good things about La Petite. The staff and director are incredible

...

people and I feel that they really know and understand my child. They do so many fun activities with the children everyday, and are above and beyond in every way. They are patient about some of the habits he has that might frustrate other caretakers (picky eating, trouble sharing, crying at drop off). I also love that sometimes the teachers speak Spanish to each other and the children in the classroom, I know that's great for his brain development. Eboni Robinson, his main teacher, is an absolutely rockstar. I can't emphasize how good she is with my son, and how much she goes above and beyond. He loves seeing her everyday. Della Olupona is another rockstar in his classroom. She knows so much about child development, and also always makes a point to ask me how my day was at pick up time. They're truly outstanding people and I feel very comfortable trusting them to care for my child everyday.

Enrolled Family

Positive. The directors and teachers appear to sincerely adore the children. There is a low turn over with teachers and children which speaks to the happiness of all involved in my opinion.

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.
