Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy in Merritt Island, FL! My name is Kelly and I am the academy director. We are so much more than a daycare! I am confident that we offer the best infant care, preschool and other age-specific programs in the area due to our unique curriculum. Our curriculum is assessment-based for all ages and our teachers are trained to effectively implement lesson plans and assess the development of their students.
Every employee is certified in first aid, CPR and fire safety. They participate in training throughout the year to stay current in the field of Early Childhood Education. Their educations range from the state required 40 hour training to FCCPC's and A.S. degrees in early childhood education.
We are committed to providing the quality care that your family expects and deserves while ensuring a safe and secure school for all children. Our facility features a secured front door that requires a code for entry.
