Welcome to our NECPA-accredited La Petite Academy in Deltona, FL! My name is Marissa and I am the academy director. I hold both a CDA and a Florida Director Credential and have more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education, 13 of those at La Petite Academy.
We are conveniently located near I4 on Deltona Blvd. between crossroads Doyle Road and Enterprise Road. We serve families of the Deltona, Debary, Orange City and Deland areas and service Enterprise Elementary, Reading Edge Academy, Discovery Elementary and Spirit Elementary schools.
Our center provides an enriched, stimulating environment in our Infant care, Toddlers, Twos, Preschool, Pre-K and School-Age programs. We provide diapers and wipes for children in our infant, toddler and twos classrooms. As always, partnering with families is extremely important to support children’s learning. We're launching WatchMeGrow, live-streaming cameras, so parents can stay connected during the day.
Due to unique circumstances caused by the Coronavirus, supporting our School-Ager’s distance learning needs aligns with our mission to make a difference and have a positive impact on every child at our schools, their families, and the communities we serve every day. We have created a Prep Lab which help to bridge the gap for the loss of schooling due to COVID. The Prep Lab workbooks target critical literacy and math skills, allowing children the opportunity to practice these skills so that they will be better prepared to enter the next grade level in the fall.
We are taking extra precautions to keep our children and staff safe during COVID. The school is conducting temperature checks at the front door for all children and staff. No outside vendors enter the school or parents to prevent a possible exposure (parents who need to enter the building a face mask must be worn). Staff are wearing face mask and children three and up may wear one to school. We continue with our cleaning procedures and have added staff members who come daily to disinfect the school before the school opens for the day.
For an additional fee, go beyond regular classroom learning experiences with our enhanced series of fun, interactive enrichment programs exploring a variety of activities. We offer:
Soccer, Music, Yoga, Spanish, Phonics, Handwriting & Advanced Math
We’ve been recognized as a high-quality early education program.
Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) is a free daily, 4-hour program that includes breakfast and lunch, with the option of extended wrap care. This full-day learning experience enhances your child’s school readiness journey. Every child who turns 4 by September 1 may be eligible for free VPK. Schedule a tour to learn more.
