La Petite Academy of Lawrence
Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in Lawrence, KS! My name is Kelsey and I am the director. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Kansas and have over 10 years of experience as a teacher and manager. In addition to providing superior local infant care, our preschool programs offer the best early education in the community.
I run this school like everyone involved is an extension of my own family - the children, parents and teachers. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment and maintain an open-door policy for anyone who would like to talk.
Our teachers have a passion for teaching and bring many years of experience to the school. Staff members are certified in first aid and CPR and receive monthly and ongoing training provided by the state.
We offer a number of opportunities for our families to volunteer in the classroom and on field trips. We also host monthly family events, including Parents' Night Out and Friday Pizza To-Go. Our facility is secure and requires an access code for entry. Each family member has his or her own code to check children in and out. All visitors must present photo IDs.
Please schedule a tour of our fantastic La Petite Academy educational daycare in Lawrence, KS, today so you can see all we can offer your family.

I've always loved watching children grow! I worked as a substitute teacher for two years at which point I realized that my true passion was teaching young age groups. I love getting to know the kids and their families so that they can feel like our school is a part of their extended family!

Student mentor-ship has always been my heart's desire. As a children's pastor in North Carolina, I always sought to encourage and educate the next generation. In 2012, I relocated to Lawrence with my wife and began my work in early childhood education.
