Welcome to La Petite Academy in Columbia, MD! My name is Joanne and I am the academy director. I have my bachelor’s degree in elementary education, and I love seeing the children learn and discover the world around them.
We proudly service families in Baltimore, D.C., and many other surrounding cities. We provide School-Age transportation to local elementary schools and offer an innovative before-and-after-care program. We also offer GrowFit, a nutrition program designed to promote healthy eating habits and healthy minds from a young age.
We love seeing our children progress through our school readiness pathway – starting as Infants and graduating from our Pre-K/Junior K program! It is our goal to feed inquisitive minds and create lifelong learners!
