Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Nashville, TN! Our academy was established in 1986 and has a long-standing reputation of family involvement. My name is Melissa and I am the director. I have had extensive educational training through the state and am confident that our Infant care and Preschool programs are second to none.
My staff and I enjoy interacting with families and the community we serve. We value our relationships and enjoy getting parents involved in the school to help foster their children's growth and development. To boost parental participation, we offer monthly programs and events.
We have a dedicated and skilled staff with 100 percent having five or more years of service with us in Nashville. Our teachers have a total of 138 years of combined experience in early childhood education. They are all certified in CPR and First Aid and trained in TN Early Learning Development Standards.
We’re committed to providing simple ways to keep you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. With live streaming video, you can view your child’s classroom from any device or computer. Plus, get real-time updates with our family communication app.
