Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy in Lexington, KY. My name is Christa and I am the director! I have my associate's degree in early childhood education and 18 years of experience as an early education provider.

We are excited to announce that we have recently moved to our new location at 148 Malibu Drive. You'll find all the things you love - secure school environment, smart technology and amazing teachers, plus much more!

Our school offers Infant/Toddler Care, superior Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten programs as well as a dynamic School-Age program. Our highly-qualified staff has over 70 years of combined child care experience. Teachers receive monthly training, CPR and First Aid certification and additional ongoing training provided by the state.

We maintain an open-door policy for any family who would like to talk and we are always available either in the office, by phone or email. Here at La Petite, we bring families and friends together through monthly events including luncheons, holiday programs and our Fall Festival.

Aidan is having a blast. The staff are awesome and the attention he is getting from the staff and friends he is making in the classroom is second to none.

LaPetite Academy and their use of Brightwheel has given me so much peace of mind! My little one loves her teachers, and the other students, and seeing those little updates on their app throughout the day let me know she is getting the care and attention I can't give her while I'm at work. At 2 years old, she is counting, singing her ABC's, and has memorized her favorite books. It's always fun when

...

she comes home and teaches us a new song from school. Super grateful for all of the hard work of Miss Tori and Miss Leslie in her classroom, and our location directors, Miss Christa and Miss Rachel. They've been amazing to work with!
