Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in Riverside! My name is Wendy and I'm the academy director. I have been in the early child development field for 23 years and I have taught everything from Infants to Private Kindergarten.
La Petite Academy offers a loving and nurturing Toddler, Twos, Preschool and Pre-K programs. We also provide Before- and After-School care for school-age children.
I lead a great group of teachers here in Riverside who are always smiling and truly love to teach. I have many teachers that have been here for more than 10 years. Families continue to return with sibling because of our experienced teachers. All teachers are CPR and first aid certified to maintain your children's heath and safety.
Please come by for a tour and see what our school has to offer your family.
