Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Powell, OH. We are located at the corner of Home Road and Sawmill Parkway. My name is Shelly and I am the director of this nationally-accredited school for infant care, preschool and school-age programs. I have an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education and 25 years of experience. I've been with La Petite Academy for 17 years.

My staff and I enjoy interacting with our families and seeing the children develop into lifelong learners. We have low turnover and teachers are certified in First Aid and CPR. Our management team has over 70 years of combined experience in early childhood.

We have new technology in our preschool, pre-k and school-age classes! Preschool and pre-k children have iPads with educational apps and games. Plus, our preschool class will have an Inspire Plus interactive table and our pre-k class will feature a STEM Lab with hands-on learning experiences in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math. For school-agers, we have tripods for moviemaking, robots for coding, a new gaming system, and more!

We provide students with a safe and nurturing environment that enhances learning through interactive activities and lesson plans. We value the relationships we have with our families and make it a priority to keep them involved with ongoing communication.

At La Petite Academy, we believe you will see your child's accomplishments the same way we do - as a product of our excellent staff and curriculum. We are currently serving the Powell and Delaware families. Please stop by or call to schedule a tour!

We have been thrilled with la petite. The teachers are absolutely incredible and LOVE all of the kids in the class. It’s so reassuring to know that my toddler is getting the loving attention, patience (!), and focus that she needs every day. Her teachers always have stories to tell me about cute things she said/did during the day, and my daughter talks about them often when we are at home and how nice

...

they are. She’s learning new things every day and enjoys telling us about it after school. She gets very excited for all of the fun crafts, stories, and extra activities that they have during the day.The director, Shelly, is the nicest woman and always says hello and makes time to talk, especially if I have any concerns to ask about. She has never minimized any concern I’ve brought up, and has great follow-up even weeks later to check in. Overall, La Petit Powell is the perfect blend for us of nurturing teachers and advanced curriculum! We are very happy here.

We truly could not be happier. All of the staff we have interacted with seem genuinely happy to be there and to care for the children. They’re understanding and open with communication, and our daughter has absolutely blossomed since starting at LaPetite.

This has been such a great school for our son. Everyone is so welcoming, friendly and always has a smile to share. We get pictures and updates throughout the day of different activities he is doing and it is so fun to look in on his day. We have been very happy with our experience at this school.

Our director Shelly Hackbarth is amazing. I love the school because the teachers are not changing regularly. I see the same amazing people each day for the past 2 years. I love it. We are greeted happily each day. They address me and my son by our names. We have had tremendous service to help with my scheduling. I have had my 2 other children at day care centers and this is by far the very best.

My daughter has been going to La Petite for years, and she's made long-lasting friendships. They always have great activities for the kids and take them on great field trips.

Active Infants, Safe Spaces

Our first priority is creating a secure environment where infants both are safe and feel safe. In our Infants classroom, we provide toys and materials that allow for freedom of movement within safe boundaries, so children can explore, develop motor skills, and engage their natural curiosity. This makes the classroom both nurturing and stimulating.
