Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Jacksonville, FL! My name is Carielynn and I am the academy director. I currently hold a CDA and a Level II VPK Endorsed Director Credential. I have more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education.
Established in 1991, our academy offers children a nurturing environment in our infant care, preschool and other early education programs. We are accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation and also hold Gold Seal Status with the State of Florida.
We provide before and after care to Alimacani, Seabreeze and Chet's Creek elementary schools. We are located on Beach Blvd. between Atlantic Storage and U-Store, across the street from Denny's. We are in the block between Hodges Blvd. and San Pablo Rd.
Our teachers are enthusiastic early childhood education professionals who stay current with monthly training sessions and ongoing training offered by the state. Additionally, all teachers and management staff are certified in CPR and first aid. We are proud to boast that we have a combined 94 years of early childhood education experience!
