Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite in Niceville, FL! My name is Sarah and I am the school director. I have worked in the field of early childhood education for the last 24 years with 10 of those years in an administration role. 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 program that is safe, secure and full of active learners. Our facility also offers state of 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 serve the areas of Niceville, Crestview, Destin, Fortwalton, and Freeport. We are in the Merchants Walk shopping center behind Winn-Dixie. Please call us for directions as certain mapping services may take you to the wrong location.
