Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy! We are a Nationally Accredited educational preschool and child care center tucked away in the quiet residential area of Plantation Lakes Circle in Chesapeake, Virginia. My name is Kyera Smith and I am the Director here at La Petite. I have more than 10 years of experience in Early Childhood education. I began my journey with La Petite in 2016 and have been with this location as Center Director since 2020.
Our school offers an engaging, nurturing environment for every child during their most critical early years. We offer full time only programs for Infants, Toddlers and Twos, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and School-Age Before-and-After school servicing Centerville and Tallwood Elementary, Greenbrier Primary and Greenbrier Intermediate Schools.
At La Petite Academy, we strive to mold inquisitive young minds with hands-on STEM learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. In addition to the basic school readiness, we also focus on helping children to be creative, to communicate, to collaborate with others, and to be critical thinkers. We pride ourselves on being an extension to your family and plan a variety of opportunities for family involvement.
Our committed team of teachers fosters children’s growth, development, and a lifelong love of learning! Teachers also participate in yearly training to stay up-to-date on best practices and child development. We also have an amazing Food Specialist who ensures our children receive healthy, delicious meals that meet their needs and the company's Grow Fit standards.

Teaching young children has always been my passion. I enjoy seeing their faces light up when they have mastered something they have been taught. I believe in keeping children healthy, safe, and educated. I have been in the Early Childhood Field for over six years, teaching primarily toddlers. I believe a partnership between myself and the families I serve is essential. When working together, we can help the child reach their full potential and be the best version of themselves.
