La Petite Academy of Hockessin

Welcome to La Petite Academy, a nationally accredited early learning center in Hockessin, DE. My name is Randi, and I am the Center Director. Our phenomenal daycare has been open since 1994 and I have been a part of this educational family for 14 years!

At La Petite, staying safe and healthy is our top priority. We closely follow CDC guidelines and take extreme care to maintain a healthy school environment.

Our enhanced practices include:

-Conducting regular wellness checks throughout the day

-Health screening and temperature checks for staff and children upon arrival

-Limiting parents and visitors to common areas only

-Rigorous cleanliness and hygiene practices with frequent hand washing and cleaning items and surfaces in the classrooms

We offer an educational and caring experience for infants as young as six weeks old continuing up through our Pre-Kindergarten program. We also provide Before- and After-School care for North Star Elementary and an exciting summer camp program for children ages six to 12!

Our dedicated and long-term staff encourage and cultivate positive learning experiences for all children. Our teachers participate in professional development training each year to stay current in the field of early childhood education.

We are also proud to offer a mobile app that enables us to provide families with real-time updates and allows them the ability to send messages to their children's teacher throughout the day.

Our facility is kept safe and secure using a locked entry system as well as security cameras throughout the building and exterior of our school. Only staff and enrolled families may enter using their unique security code. Visitors must be approved by the administrative staff and provide ID before entering.
