Supporting Our Community
As always, we’re proud to support our community. It starts with a healthy, safe environment when your child is away from home. Learn how we prioritize the well-being of your children and our staff.
Welcome to Our School
Thank you for visiting La Petite Academy educational daycare in Gladstone, MO! My name is Amanda Williams and I am the academy director. I have been with the company since 2011. I have a bachelor's degree in middle school education with a minor in childhood studies.
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. This is why we offer brightwheel, a mobile app, that will allow you to stay connected via photos, emails and texts and coming this fall, WatchMeGrow. This program will allow you to live stream your child's classroom so you don't miss a thing.
The health and safety of your child is our top priority. This is why we require our staff to wear face masks and we conduct daily health checks of the teachers and the children. We realize with the past few months have brought many changes and we are here to support you. If you need remote learning support for your school-age child or if you just need a more flexible schedule - call us and schedule a tour of our fantastic La Petite Academy in Gladstone, MO! We look forward to meeting you.

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.
