Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in San Antonio, TX. My name is Kari and I am the director of this school that cares for children ages six weeks to 12 years. I have more than 15 years of experience in child care, a college degree in elementary education and my Child Development Associate's Credential.
For our parents, we have a mobile app for daily photos, videos and updates. Also, premium diapers and wipes are included in the tuition.
Our academy was established over 30 years ago and provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. We offer Infant Care, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Before- and After-School care. Our location picks up from John Glenn, Adams Hill, Ed Cody, Hatchett, Mary Michaels, Mary Fisher, Kriewald, Big Country, Idea (Burke) and Harmony elementary schools.
We are excited to offer new technology in our School-Age classroom. Enhancements include iPads featuring apps to create art, music and videos, tripods for moviemaking, robots for coding, a new gaming system and a secure WiFi network for homework.
Our staff takes great pride in providing children with exceptional care and an education that will excite them about learning. Staff members participate in training opportunities throughout the year, are First Aid/CPR certified, and must complete a local and national background check.
