Welcome to Our School
Thank you for visiting La Petite Academy educational daycare in Gladstone, MO! My name is Rachel and I'm the director of this facility. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in elementary education from Park University as well as nine years of education experience.
Our infant care and preschool programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and child development. I run this school like everyone involved is an extension of my own family - the children, parents, and teachers. We plan events for everyone to participate in and I work hard to ensure that families meet each other and develop strong relationships. We offer a number of opportunities for our families to volunteer in the classroom and attend monthly events such as Parents' Night Out and Game Night.
We have a nurturing and caring staff that is dedicated to our children and families. Our entire staff is first aid/CPR certified and they all receive monthly training as well as ongoing training provided by the state.
Schedule a tour of our fantastic La Petite Academy in Gladstone, MO today! We look forward to meeting you.

Education: Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education
Certifications: CPR/First Aid
Growing up, I always wanted to be an elementary school teacher. I started at La Petite shortly after college and never left. I fell in love with early childhood education. Not only do I get to watch so many children grow, but I also get to be here with my own two girls!

Growing up, I loved playing school and always wanted to be the teacher. I always knew I would spend my time working with children. Now, I'm lucky to be able to teach young minds and to be a mother to my own two young children. It is such a joy to watch my girls learning day to day.
