Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Knoxville, TN! My name is Rebecca Walker and I am the academy director. I have worked at La Petite Academy for six years.
Our school has the finest infant child care, toddler and preschool programs in the West Knoxville area. We are a 3-star school, which is the highest rating a school can achieve. We have an open-door policy and instill in our families the confidence to come to any staff member with a concern or a comment.
School Enhancements Since COVID 19:
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. Those who exhibit symptoms will not be admitted.
*Everyone must wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer upon entry to building.
*Parents/visitors/vendors will be restricted to common areas only.
*Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet apart at all times.
We’re excited to announce that we will be offering WatchMeGrow live streaming video service across our entire portfolio of schools! We will be making this feature available to our customers at no additional charge as part of our broader company.
Research shows 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.
Our teachers will be trained to support distance learning, as well as to integrate key math and literacy skills practice into summer camp – alongside thematic, fun, activity-based projects.

Some of the most important wiring of our brains takes place in the first five years. Children's early experiences and the quality of their care and relationships are crucial during this time. I am honored to have the opportunity to have such an impact on a child's life!
