Here's what people have to say

5 out of 5 stars
My experience with this school has been amazing!! The growth (developmental/personal) I've noticed from all four grandchildren is phenomenal. I love seeing the excitement on their little faces when they are telling me all about their day. The staff is so kind and professional. Keep up the GREAT work!!

I have moved across town and still drive across town to bring my kids to this school

My son seems to really enjoy this school. I have seen him interact positively with students and teachers and he is always in a good mood when I pick him up and he rarely cries at drop off. If I ask about his day, the teachers are always more than happy to share. The staff is very polite and friendly at drop off and pick up. It appears that activities that I have witnessed (reading, outside play,
...
snack time/breakfast) are well organized and group oriented, which I value.

My child is always taken care of well and communication is open. I have never had an issue in the two years that I have entrusted the care of my children to them.

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.
