Plus, read how we keep learning on track for elementary school students with The Prep Lab, offering distance learning support and extra math and literacy experiences in summer camp.
Welcome to Our School
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 trainings.
