La Petite Academy of Houston

Welcome to La Petite Academy at Briar Forest! My name is Denisha and I am the academy director. I have a passion for early learners and a love for early education. I have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Houston Baptist University as well as a Masters degree in Early Education, with a focus on curriculum, from Concordia University. I am currently pursuing an Education Doctorate, focusing on Leadership and transformational learning. I have over 10 years of experience in education, working as a volunteer, mentor, educator and within leadership.

The staff members that support our programs are all CPR/First Aid certified and have either completed or are working toward the completion of a degree. Our staff members truly enjoy working with the children enrolled in our academy and building relationships with the families we serve. Our academy practices an open door policy and encourages parent participation to help foster strong bonds between staff members, families and students--an essential part of a quality early learning experience. Our staff members are professional, consistent and tenured with more than 100 years of combined experience between them!

From our fantastic teachers to our approaches to technology and our exciting electives, we take pride in our academy and can't wait to show off what we have to offer! We encourage you to drop by or schedule a tour today and look forward to meeting you and making you part of the La Petite family at Briar Forest.

See you soon!
