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
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 over 10 years of experience in education, working in various roles as a volunteer, mentor, educator and within leadership.
Although this current climate of uncertainty poses challenges and stress for parents and students alike, our school remians committed to supporting our families and our coummunity in every way possible. We have restructured our programs and procedures to provide an environment that is dedicated to the safety and health of our families and staff members and flexible in order to accomodate working parents and the new school norm of distanced and virtual learning, all while continuing to provide the exceptional learning opportunities La Petite Academy is known for.
We follow the guidance of national and local health officials, while also implementing enhanced health and safety procedures to include: protective face masks worn by all staff members, health and wellness checks both prior to drop-off and throughout the day, as well as limited access to classrooms and throughout the building. Parents can stay connected throughout the day through WatchMe Grow, a live video stream, and BrightWheel, a communication app that displays the intricate details of each child's day.
As we work to maintain a sense of normalcy for our students and families during these unprecedented times, we are truly thankful for our fantastic teachers and staff members who are genuinely passionate about early learners and early education. We each take pride in our academy and can't wait to show off what we have to offer! We encourage you to schedule a tour today and look forward to meeting you and making you part of the La Petite family at Briar Forest.
Stay safe and stay healthy! See you soon!
