How does La Petite Academy track my child’s development and share their progress?

At La Petite Academy, 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 La Petite Academy support my childs learning and development as they transition to 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. Each program introduces developmentally appropriate activities that build in complexity, helping children deepen their understanding and build new skills as they progress from one classroom to the next.

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 at AtlantiCare.

How often will my child have opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity?

At La Petite Academy, we encourage daily physical activity and outdoor play through our Grow Fit® program, helping children develop healthy habits, build motor skills, and enjoy staying active. 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.

What does a typical day look like at La Petite Academy?

At La Petite Academy at AtlantiCare, your child’s day includes a mix of learning, play, outdoor time, meals, and rest. Children explore Learning Centers, participate in small- and large-group activities, and enjoy time outdoors. Meals, snacks, rest, and plenty of opportunities for choice and play are built into the day, providing a familiar routine while keeping each day engaging.

How does La Petite Academy support children with special needs or individual developmental needs?

At La Petite Academy at AtlantiCare, we recognize that every child learns and develops differently. We encourage you to talk with your local school about your child’s specific needs.
