Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare of Lake in the Hills, IL, where we service families from Lake in the Hills, Huntley, Algonquin, Crystal Lake, Gilberts and other surrounding communities. My name is Melissa and I am the academy director. I have over 15 years of experience in early childhood education.

We offer Infant Care, Preschool and other early education programs. We have a curriculum that is designed to meet each child's developmental needs and goals and we also offer enrichment programs that emphasize health and nutrition. We are silver star rated with Excelrate Il, and Accredited by NECPA.

Our building uses a coded entry system and only prearranged adults may pick up children. You'll also love staying connected all day long through our mobile app for parents. Get real-time photos and updates of your child so you don't miss a moment.

I have a strong team of long-term, dedicated teachers with more than 100 years of combined experience. All of our staff goes through CPR and first aid certification, as well as ongoing monthly training.

We would love to meet your family and introduce you to ours here at La Petite Academy in Lake in the Hills, IL! Call us or stop in today for a tour!

My family has had a great experience with the school so far. My child learns so much while he is there. The teachers are all very nice and take good care of the kids in their classrooms. I love being able to see all the activities they do and I always look forward to getting pictures of their day.

Amazing teachers, support, and communication. Every day I pick my kids up, I can tell they have had a great day and they talk about their experiences.

All of the staff are amazing. My son who would not talk to anyone before starting has grown immensely socially and his speech is way more advanced since he started almost a year ago. My daughter is always happy when we come in and leave for the day, which tells me she is well taken care of. I love how I do not have to worry about my children and their well-being while I am at work. I would highly recommend
