Keeping Families Connected
Our families mean the world to us and keeping them connected is one of our main goals. That’s why we created SproutAbout®, our exclusive family communications app that features live streaming video of the classroom and much, much more.
Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy in Niceville, FL! My name is Kavina and I am the school director. I worked as a teacher here in our program before becoming a team lead, program assistant director, and now center director. I I am confident we offer the best Infant Care, Preschool, and School-Age programs in the area.
The children at our center are attending a NECPA-accredited and Gold Seal program that is safe, secure, and full of active learners. Our facility also offers state-of-the-art cameras in all classrooms and a passcode secured entrance, which is only accessible by staff and enrolled families.
Communication is important to us and we work hard to ensure that our families are comfortable and have opportunities to meet with one another as well as with their child's caregivers. Our highly-educated staff receives monthly training as well as ongoing training provided by the state.
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.
We serve the areas of Niceville, Crestview, Destin, Fort Walton, and Freeport. We are in the Merchants Walk shopping center behind Bank of America and near the Winn Dixie shopping center. Schedule a tour of our fantastic La Petite Academy educational daycare in Niceville, FL today!
