Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Orlando, FL! We offer Infant, Preschool, and Before- and After-School programs!

Our current health and safety practices are screening staff and children upon arrival for temperature. Providing protective face coverings for all staff members to wear when working with children. Having parents remain in common areas only. Enhancing our already rigorous cleanliness and hygiene practices such as more frequent, longer hand washing through out the day and upon arrival.
For our infants, we include infant formula, baby cereal and baby food.

I have been working with children for over 13 years. I've been a teacher and a manager, and I love it all! I truly enjoy being apart of our families' lives every day! Ever since I was a little girl I always knew I wanted to work with children. I believe all kids deserve to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow in. We strive every day to provide a lasting education in each child that comes through our center. My goal is to make a great impression that will stay with them forever.

I started working with children 15 years ago and have been with La Petite for four years. I taught English to preschoolers in my home country. I love working with kids - it might be challenging, but it's very rewarding. My three-year-old son and I love being part of the La Petite family.

I always knew I wanted to work with children. I'm from Puerto Rico and moved to Florida in 2002 with my loving husband and kids. It is a privilege to be a part of one of the most important stages in a child's life.
