Welcome to La Petite Academy in Bradenton, FL! My name is Helen and I am the academy Director.
Our school offers curriculum based programs for children six weeks to 12 years of age. Our staff are First Aid and CPR training, DCF 40-hour Child Care Training/Facility Training Courses, and training offered directly through La Petite Academy.
The current pandemic has heightened our awareness for Safety Protocols. While we were focused on cleanliness before, we have increased our procedures by closing down our lobby to anyone other than our students and staff; instead we now offer curbside pick-up & drop-off with the request that parents wear masks and stay in their cars. The child is received by a masked and gloved staff member and their temperature is taken before entering the facility to ensure they do not have any symptoms corresponding with COVID-19. Temperature checks are done throughout the day, and hand washing has become a hyper-focus anytime the child enters their classroom, comes inside from outdoor play, and even when they are leaving the facility. Aside from cleaning, our teachers are dedicated to educating our students about the benefits of personal hygiene and how to protect themselves and others to avoid exposure to COVID-19.
WatchMeGrow is a live streaming feature our location will begin providing between August-November 2020. This feature allows authorized family members to view and/or listen to their childcare via video and/or audio streams during center operation hours. We are excited to include parents on our daily adventures in learning, laughter and love!
To avoid learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Prep Lab is designed to keep school-agers on course with their studies. Our teachers are trained to support distance learning, as well as, integrate key math and literacy skills! At La Petite Academy, we are keeping this learning train on track!
