Welcome to La Petite Academy, a NECPA-accredited and Gold Seal approved child care center in Margate, FL! My name is Shandisha "Shandy" Henry, and I am the academy director. I have been in the early childhood education field for the past 22 years. I also have my director's credentials and a bachelor's degree in early care and education.
I love being the director of this school for Infant Care and Preschool because the staff, children, and families make this feel like it is my second home. I work to create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment and maintain open communication with every family.
Our center plans many events to ensure that our families meet each other and build strong relationships. We also work hard to involve our families in activities we offer throughout the school year, such as Parents' Night Out and field trips.
All of our teachers have the Florida Child Care Professional Credential and are certified in CPR/First Aid. They also receive at least 45 hours of early childhood training.
We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.
