Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy early learning center in Oregon, WI. This location has been serving the Oregon community since 1999.
Our educational child care center includes care for Infants starting at six weeks old, Toddlers, Twos, Early Preschool, Preschool, PreK, Private Jr. K and School Age before and after school care. We offer off school day care for school agers and care during snow days when the public school is closed.
We offer enrichment programs throughtout the year. This includes Spanish, Yoga from infants to PreK, Kindermusik and soccer in the fall and spring. We have an outstanding summer camp called Wonder Camp that runs June through August. Themes are followed school wide with each day filled with curiosity, imagination and discovery. We provide weekly onsite field trips for the whole school. We have a large playground area which makes outdoor play fun year round but especially in the summer when we have weekly water play activities. In Spring, we plant a garden that we watch grow, water, and harvest into the fall.
We’re committed to keeping parents connected throughout the day with access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus real-time updates with diaper changes/bathroom breaks, meals and nap times with our exclusive mobile app for families called Sprout About.
Our staff are First Aid and CPR trained, mandated reporter trained, and abusive head trauma prevention trained. We also have monthly staff meetings and twice a year teacher in services, which equals 15+ continuing education hours.
We look forward to welcoming you into our center soon!

I have more than 30 years of experience working in the early education field. I started my career with La Petite Academy in 1993 as an assistant teacher in the Twos Room in Waukesha, WI. I moved on in my career as a teacher for Head Start, a private child care center and many years at a non profit child care center. In 2019, I moved into a director roll which lead me to returning to La Petite Academy in 2022 as the Center Director here in Oregon, WI.

I have seven years experience in the early education field. I started my career here at the La Petite in Oregon when I was a high school student. I took great pride in being the Infant Lead Teacher, Team Lead and Safety Captain. I was the 2024 district teacher of the year. I'm always looking to continue my knowledge in early education and grow in my leadership. I'm a mom of two young girls who keep me busy and active when I'm not at work. I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge as the AD.
