Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Sarasota, FL. We serve communities in Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Ellenton, Palmetto, Parish, and Lakewood Ranch. I am Kimberly Sewell, the director. I have over 30 years of experience in the early education childhood field with 27 of them being with La Petite Academy. I started my career with La Petite as a two-year old teacher and quickly became part of the management team. My favorite part of my career is creating those life long relationships with families and watching their children learn and grow on a daily basis.

Our school includes Infant, Toddler and Two's, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Before and After-School Care for elementary age children. In all our programs we follow a STEM approach, providing hands-on learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We are nationally accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

We truly enjoy every day at our La Petite Academy in Sarasota, FL and invite you to come in for a tour! Please schedule your tour at our school today!

I don’t have a bad thing to say about this center. Teyha is an absolute gem. They have welcomed our family in like we’re their own. Our son gets the care he deserves that’s all I can ask for.

My daughter is succeeding my expectations here at la Pattie! I love how the staff is knowledgeable to any questions or concerns I have!

Verified Shopper

We have been so happy for the opportunities provided to our son as he learns and grows at school while we are at work during the day. The pictures the staff provided of the fun he’s having each day mean so much to us.

My daughter has been going to La Petite for about 7 months now. The staff is absolutely amazing and so caring! My daughter has learned so much from her teachers, and I love getting multiple updates daily about how/what she is doing. The staff is very welcoming and open to talk about every milestone your child is at. Hands down best childcare my daughter has been to!

My son has only been at this school for a month now, but so far we enjoy it and so does he. Every time he attends we get multiples photos of him throughout the day which is always reassuring for us as parents. But this was incredibly helpful and reassuring the first few times he attended. He always seems to enjoy himself while at school and is regularly loving on a teacher when I pick him up. Couldn’t

ask for better than that. The teachers genuinely seem to love and care for my son which gives me a great peace of mind as he is there 8+ hours when he attends. Incredibly lucky to have found this daycare for my son. So far, my family is loving it

Verified Shopper

Very happy with my decision. Melissa and Tahya are amazing and everyone of the caretakers there are just the best. My son loves it there and I can tell they genuinely love him.

Verified Shopper

Everyone here is warm and welcoming. I feel very comfortable with my daughter being under their care while I am at work. Jennifer the director has been extremely accommodating for our family and sometimes my changing schedule. I am always greeted by a warm hello when dropping her off and in the afternoon a caring good bye. Thank you for taking care of my baby girl.
