Coronavirus Update

We are closely monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. Please read this important update about our rigorous health and safety protocols to keep your children safe and healthy.

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!

Here's what people have to say

4.8 out of 5 stars

I find the activities each day to be so creative and thoughtful. I can tell my child is learning- his vocabulary is expanding and his learning how to control his emotions.

Great! I love our director, Ms. Erika, she's really brought in more families and scheduled a lot of great events that are fun to do with my son.

A very warm and inviting welcome from the Director when we came in for a tour. My son enjoyed the atmosphere and all the kids that were around. Since then he speaks more and is more responsive when communicating with others outside his home.

The director and the whole team of teachers are very caring and loving people.

Our experience has been great! Everyone clearly loves and cares for our daughter and she loves being there. We cannot be more grateful for the school's offerings (e.g. Brightwheel) and how responsive the Director and teachers are regarding any questions or concerns we have.

We are very happy with La Petite. Communication with Erika and Amy has been excellent and we feel as though literally the whole school has welcomed Declan. We thought about enrolling our older son here a few years ago and I’m very glad that we did so with our younger one.

Active Infants, Safe Spaces

In our Infants classroom, we provide toys and materials that allow for freedom of movement within safe boundaries, so children can explore, develop motor skills, and engage their natural curiosity.
