Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Federal Way, WA.
Our newly remodeled school has new floors, playgrounds and a STEM room. We provide infant and toddler care, preschool and pre-kindergarten, along with various ancillary programs such as yoga, soccer, Spanish, and music. For our parents, we offer a mobile app that provides real time updates and photos of their child's day.
Safety and security are top priorities. We have new interior and exterior cameras to view our classrooms, playgrounds, lobby and entrances and each family is given their own personal access code to enter the building. We also require that every visitor or volunteer show their I.D. upon arrival.
Many of our teachers come to us with several years of experience and we provide annual training and education opportunities for all our staff.
