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.
Plus, read how we keep learning on track for elementary school students with The Prep Lab, offering distance learning support and extra math and literacy experiences in summer camp.
Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Knoxville, TN! My name is Robyn and I am the academy director. I have been with La Petite since 1992 and drawing from this experience, I am confident in saying that our center offers the best infant care, preschool and other age-specific programs in our neighborhood.
We are proud to share that our learning center here in Knoxville has three stars (the maximum available) in the Tennessee Star Quality Child Care program. I believe this is because we have highly trained, long-term teachers who truly care about our students.
I run this academy like everyone involved is an extension of my own family - the children, parents, and teachers. I create a warm and welcoming environment and maintain an open-door policy for anyone who would like to talk. We plan a lot of events for everyone to participate in and I work hard to ensure that families meet each other and develop strong relationships, as well.
We are excited to offer new technology in our school-age classroom. These enhancements include iPads featuring apps to create art, music and videos, tripods for moviemaking, robots for coding and more!
Please call or visit today to schedule a tour of our wonderful La Petite Academy in Knoxville, TN! We look forward to meeting you!
