Supporting Our Community

Now Scheduling Virtual Tours

As always, we’re proud to support our community. It starts with a healthy, safe environment when your child is away from home. Learn how we prioritize the well-being of your children and our staff.

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.

To start, every La Petite Academy employee must complete health and safety training before returning to a Center, and they must attest to feeling in good health every day before work. We’re equipped with a thermometer, face coverings and sanitization kit. We are training our teachers on no-contact techniques. Finally, we have established rigorous sanitization protocols that require cleaning of all equipment, toys and beds throughout the 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.

With our new WatchMeGrow technology, you’ll be able to view your child’s activities in the classroom on any smart device or computer. Deployed, traveling, or just plain busy parents will be able to see their child learn, play, and grow every day, all day. We know you’ll be excited about all the amazing features of WatchMeGrow.

Many of our teachers come to us with several years of experience and we provide annual training and education opportunities for all our staff.

Absolutely love everything about this school. The staff, curriculums, atmosphere, location, care for the kids/parents, etc.

The staff is so caring and wonderful, I didn't think it would be possible to trust someone else with my child. But the teachers at La Petite are like family to us now, it means the world to us.

My son is loved and well cared for. His caregivers are committed and engaged in his care and it is clear that his well being is important to them. He is learning new things every week and making a lot of friends.

We have had a good experience. I especially love seeing updates throughout the day via brightwheel- it's hard to leave an infant/toddler at daycare all day so the updates make it easier because I can see that my son is having fun.

The overall experience has been very positive. I appreciate the teachers being kind, patient and emotionally available to my child while also educating him. I also appreciate their willingness to communicate with me as a parent.
