Welcome to La Petite Academy in Pelham, AL! This facility opened in 1988 with the goal of providing the best early education for families in the Shelby County area. We are an Alabama Quality rated school. We service all surrounding areas including Helena, Alabaster and Calera!
My name is Yasheta Sanderfer, I am the academy director, and I have been with the company for 17 years. I have been in the early education field for over 25 years and was awarded the District People Leadership Award in 2016 and the Above and Beyond award in 2018.
Our facility is a leader in early education, providing programs for infants and preschoolers through school-age children. Our teachers are highly trained and personally get to know and understand each child, to recognize their strengths, skill levels, and areas for improvements.
Staying safe and healthy at school is our top priority. Our enhanced health and safety practices include: screening staff and children upon arrival for temperature, symptoms, limiting parents, visitors and vendors to common areas only. More frequent hand washing and cleaning of surfaces and items in classrooms.
Stay connected from drop-off to pickup through our WatchMeGrow live-streaming camera access for our families and the brightwheel mobile app where our teachers send updates on your child's day, both right on your smart device.
We would like to introduce to you our Prep Lab, this program is for elementary school students, bridges potential learning gaps between school years.
