Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Richmond, VA!
At La Petite Academy, our programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and development. We pride ourselves on maintaining a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where children and their families are treated like an extension of our own families. We offer infant through school-age programs here at our school and are excited to show you all of the things we are learning and experiencing today!
The teachers at our school here in Henrico are devoted professionals who care deeply about nurturing and educating children. Our teachers attend ongoing training sessions to maintain knowledge of the latest findings in the field. Combined, our staff has more than 287 years of experience.
Safety is a top priority at our school! Visitors' IDs are always checked upon entry and our doors are equipped with a security system that only allows those authorized to enter the building. Everyone on staff is trained in CPR and First Aid to ensure the safety of our children throughout the day.
