We have been so lucky to have enrolled our little one at LPA. We feel like we’re truly part of a family. I feel 100% comfortable leaving our toddler with all of the staff. I feel like they truly care about their well-being.
I feel comfortable leaving my grandson. He likes going and likes his teachers. I can see growth and development. Communication and friendliness with his teachers has been excellent.
I could not be more pleased with the environment than LaPetite Prospect has provided for us! We genuinely love her teachers and classmates.
La Petite has really been an incredible experience for us. When we realized we needed to find a daycare for our baby, La Petite was recommended to us. We toured the facility and met the teachers and knew it was for us! The teachers are so down to earth and you can tell they truly care about each child. We love it.

My daughter has flourished from the amazing teachers and their curriculum. From day 1, we always felt welcomed and plan to keep her at La Petite until its time for her to start Kindergarten in a few years. I would recommend this school to ANYBODY!
As I said, this daycare has exceeded every expectation. The price is comparable to other similar daycares, but you get so much more for your money, particularly when it comes to the staff and their treatment of your child. I feel so comfortable leaving my baby in their very capable hands. Not to mention the providing of diapers!!

At La Petite Academy, each child has an individual portfolio that grows with them as they progress from one age group to the next, capturing their development and learning along the way. Teachers use developmental checklists, work samples, photos, and observations to understand their progress and support continued growth. Families stay connected through SproutAbout updates, family-teacher conferences, and daily conversations with their child’s teachers.
Our Learn as We Grow curriculum follows six core concepts throughout the year. Children explore these same concepts from Toddlers through Pre-K, but how they experience them changes as they grow. Each program introduces developmentally appropriate activities that build in complexity, helping children deepen their understanding and build new skills as they progress from one classroom to the next.
Moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone at La Petite Academy of Prospect. Children gradually visit their new classroom, meet their teachers, and become familiar with new routines before the transition. Teachers work together to support continuity, while families receive regular updates throughout the process.
At La Petite Academy, we encourage daily physical activity and outdoor play through our Grow Fit® program, helping children develop healthy habits, build motor skills, and enjoy staying active. Outdoor exploration happens more than once a day, weather permitting, giving children time to run, climb, jump, and explore nature. These experiences encourage curiosity, movement, and a connection with the world around them.
At La Petite Academy of Prospect, your child’s day includes a mix of learning, play, outdoor time, meals, and rest.
