Welcome to Our School
Welcome! My name is Erika and I am the director at La Petite Academy in Germantown, MD. I have had the pleasure of working in the education field for 9 years and I hold my degree in Family Studies from University of Maryland at College Park.
Our school provides infant care as well as Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs. We also service most of the elementary schools in the surrounding area.
We have new technology in our Preschool, Pre-K and School-Age classes! Preschool and Pre-K children have iPads with educational apps. Plus, our preschool class has an Inspire Plus interactive table and our Pre-K class features a STEM Lab with learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. For school-age students, we have tripods for movie-making, robots for coding, a new gaming system, and more!
Safety and security is our number one priority. The main entrance is secured by a unique keypad access system and we ID everyone that enters. We also communicate with parents using a mobile app that provides real-time updates of their child's day.
Our teachers are highly-skilled professionals with many years of experience in early childhood education. They participate in yearly education training.
We would love to show you what we offer at La Petite Academy educational daycare in Germantown! Schedule a tour today!

Children must feel enriched, safe and secure in their own classroom environment. I strive to achieve this through support, celebrating differences, praise and encouragement, not only in the pursuit of academic excellence but in the development of respect, ethical values and social skills.
