Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Jacksonville, FL! My name is Deadre Pryor and I am the Academy Director. I currently hold a CDA and a Level II VPK Endorsed Director Credential. I have more than 16 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 and Chet's Creek elementary schools. Here at La Petite we help our elementary aged children stay current with grade level education via our Prep Lab utilizing workbooks. We are dedicated to keeping our children and staff safe with temperature checks at arrival and limiting families and visitors access to classrooms to prevent the spread of germs. We are following guidelines from the CDC and clean all touched surfaces throughout the day. We will be soon be launching WatchMeGrow live video feed for our families to view their child in their classroom while at their home or office. 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.
