Plus, for elementary school students, The Prep Lab offers distance learning support, STEM projects, and more, on a flexible schedule—including a full-day option.
Welcome to Our School
Thank you for visiting La Petite Academy educational daycare in Lawrence, KS! My name is Kelsey and I am the director. I have a bachelor's degree in applied behavioral analysis as well as 17 years of experience as a teacher and manager.
We as a team, management and teachers, strive to create a welcoming environment for all families. We conduct parent teacher conferences throughout the year to maintain close communication about your child’s education. We have an open door policy to ensure all your needs and questions are answered.
Our teachers have a passion for teaching and bring many years of experience to the school. Teachers are certified in first aid and CPR and receive monthly and ongoing training provided by the state. All of our staff members are trained to use our on-site AED machine in case of an emergency.
We have had to update a few procedures during these uncertain times, where our wonderful staff are all wearing masks and we are taking temperatures for each person who comes in the building. By the end of 2020, we are going live with our in-house cameras! Our facility is secure and requires an access code for entry.
Please schedule a tour of our fantastic La Petite Academy educational child care today!

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.
