Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in Fort Worth, TX!
In addition to loving Infant care, we also offer superior Preschool programs and more. My philosophy on education is summed up by a quote by Ignacio Estrada: “…if a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” We are committed to our students and families and provide ongoing family activities that encourage strong community ties.
We have new technology in our Preschool and Pre-K classrooms! Children have iPads with educational apps. For School-Agers, we have tripods for movie making, robots for coding, a new gaming system, and more!

How do you track my child’s development and share their progress?
Each child has an individual portfolio that grows with them as they progress from one age group to the next, capturing their development and learning along the way. Teachers use developmental checklists, work samples, photos, and observations to understand their progress and support continued growth. Families stay connected through SproutAbout updates, family-teacher conferences, and daily conversations with their child’s teachers.
How does learning progress as children move into the next age group?
Our Learn as We Grow curriculum follows six core concepts throughout the year. Children explore these same concepts from Toddlers through Pre-K, but how they experience them changes as they grow.

How does La Petite Academy support children as they transition between classrooms and developmental stages?
Moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone at La Petite Academy on Crosslands Rd.

At La Petite Academy on Crosslands Rd, we recognize that every child learns and develops differently. We encourage you to talk with your local school about your child’s specific needs. Our team will work with you to understand how we can support your child and discuss any accommodations or additional support they may need.

How often will my child have opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity?
Outdoor exploration happens more than once a day, weather permitting, giving children time to run, climb, jump, and explore nature. These experiences encourage curiosity, movement, and a connection with the world around them.
