Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational child care center located on Leesville Rd. In Raleigh, NC. I am Virmeche, the school director. For over 16 years, it has been my pleasure to facilitate developmental growth with families. I have a degree in birth-kindergarten education, a minor in special education and a master’s degree in early childhood education and leadership.

Our educational and developmentally appropriate programs include Infant and Toddler Care, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and school-age Before- and After-School Care. Classrooms are separated by age to specifically meet your child's developmental needs.

The amazing teachers at our school are equipped to care for your child while fostering unique learning opportunities to help them reach their next developmental goals.

Great, staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. My child loves her teachers and classmates and is excited to see them each morning. She is learning so much as well. The director and assistant director are very hands on and approachable. We love our school and are happy we have such a welcoming and safe place for our child to go each day.

I moved my son from another daycare to this facility because I did not feel he was being challenged. He has only been at La Petite for 2 months and he loves it. Since he has started attending this school he has began to write letters and make the sounds of each letter. I am very impressed with what he has learned in the short amount of time of his attendance.

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.
