La Petite Academy of New Lenox

Welcome to La Petite Academy, an educational early learning center in New Lenox, IL! My name is Carrie and I am the academy director. I have my degree in early childhood education and in graphic design, as well as my CDA. I have been working with children for over 20 years and have been at this location for 10 of them.

We offer Infant Care, Preschool, Private Kindergarten and other early education programs, each with a curriculum that is designed to meet each child's individual developmental needs and goals. Parents are kept up to date with their child progress in the classroom through newsletters, conferences, phone calls, as well as the brightwheel app, which provides real time updates so you don't miss a moment. We also have cameras in every classroom where parents can stream a live video of their child's class through our WatchMeGrow app.

Our building uses a coded entry system and only prearranged adults may pick up children. We have a strong team of dedicated teachers with years of combined experience. All staff goes through CPR and first aid certification, as well as ongoing monthly training.

We have been taking extra steps to help keep our students, staff and parents safe and healthy. We are doing this by adding extra times throughout the day to clean and sanitize high touch point areas, screening everyone who enters our building, as well as staff wearing masks at all times in the building.

We also want to reassure all of our school-age families that we will be here to help you though all the possibilities that may happen in the local school districts. We are able to help accommodate students schedule whether your child will be doing in school learning, remote learning or a combination of both. We would love to let you know all about this!
