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!

We absolutely love La Petitie. Ms Libby and Ms Robin have been just great as our daughter has moved form class to class and then to elementary school. She was prepared from the start for school all because of La petitie.

Such a great and caring staff. Everyone truly cares about each child and are always so friendly.

All 3 of our children have attended this LPA, so we’ve been with them for around 13 years. We love them, and it will be a sad day when our youngest (currently 3) ages out. Many of the staff members have been there since we started. I love that continuity and stability. It’s obvious that the teachers and directors love what they do.

Teachers and staff that are passionate about the children they care for on a daily basis. For the most part, they are invested in what they do. It's who they are and not just a job. That makes a world of different to a parent. When I pick my little boy up each day, I sense that he's happy to be where he is...that's a both calming and encouraging.

I feel very comfortable with the staff and the way my child is accepted.

Wonderful! Teachers are caring and directors are experienced and engaged in parent conversations and with familiarity of families.
