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 Stephanie and I am the center director. I have an Associates degree in Applied Arts and received a National Director Credential for Early Childhood Leadership. I have been working in the field for 10 years.
At La Petite , our Infant Child Care and Preschool programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and development. We also have a great Junior Kindergarten and School-Age Distance Learning program, called the Prep Lab to assist families during those times when our School-Districts may be closed. The passionate teachers at our academy have more than 160 years of experience in early education. We value the relationships we build with all our families here in Lake in The Hills, and to help each child develop a love for learning, we partner closely with our families to ensure each child's individual needs are met.
Your family's health and safety is our number one concern. We do health screenings upon arrival for anyone who enters the building. We have rigorous cleaning protocols throughout the day and all staff wear masks while in the classrooms. Best of all, we provide you with access to our live-streaming cameras in your child's classroom through an app called WatchMeGrow as well as provide you with real time updates through the BrightWheeel app. This is all included in your weekly tuition price.
