La Petite Academy
of Gaithersburg, MD

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Gaithersburg, MD! My name is Danielle and I am the academy director. I have an associate’s degree in early childhood development as well as 19 years of experience in early childhood education.

Drawing from my background, I can truly say we offer the best Infant Care and Preschool in Montgomery County. If you’re looking for school age care, we also service most of the area elementary schools. We have a welcoming environment and an open-door policy. With our mobile app, parents can receive real-time photos and updates about their child’s day, sent straight to their mobile phone or email!

We have new technology in our Preschool, Pre-K and School-Age classes! Preschool and Pre-K children have iPads with educational apps and games. Plus, our preschool class has an Inspire Plus interactive table and our pre-k class features a STEM Lab with hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. For school-agers, we have tripods for moviemaking, robots for coding and more!

Majority of our team has been here for over five years and combined, they have more than 150 years of experience! Ongoing staff training is conducted and our teachers are CPR and first aid certified. The main entrance is secured by a unique keypad access system and we ID everyone that enters.
