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 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.
*WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A SAFE, SECURE, AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR CHILD WHEN THEY'RE AWAY FROM HOME. WE ARE CLOSELY FOLLOWING GUIDANCE FROM THE CDC, AS WELL AS STATE AND LOCAL OFFICIALS AND HEALTH AUTHORITIES.
Upon arrival, we screen everyone entering the building for temperature and symptoms. All adults must have face coverings upon entering the building and children 2 yrs and older are encouraged to wear face coverings. Everyone must wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer upon entry to building.
In an abundance of caution, parents now drop of and pick up at the door and face covering must be worn. Social distancing of at least 6 feet apart is maintained .
We are excited to offer WatchMeGrow live streaming video service across our entire portfolio of schools! We have made this feature available to our customers at no cost as part of our broader company.
Research show summer learning loss is real. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there's a greater risk of learning loss because there have been additional weeks of lost class time. The Prep Lab is designed to keep school-agers on course with their studies.
Please call or visit today to schedule a tour of our wonderful La Petite Academy in Knoxville, TN! We look forward to meeting you!
