Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Bradenton, FL. This location first opened in 1979! We serve communities in Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Ellenton, Palmetto, Parish, and Lakewood Ranch.
My name is Gina and I am the Academy Director. I have over 12 years of experience in early childhood education. I have been with the Learning Care Group for six years, transferring from NJ to FL. Come on over, we would love for you to see our school!
