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.

My name is Tehya and I am the Academy Director. I have more than 9 years of experience in early childhood education. I began my journey with La Petite Academy as an assistant director in March of 2018 and accepted the director position in April of 2019.

Our school includes Infant, Toddler and Twos, 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.

The health and safety of the children, families, and staff is of the utmost importance. We have implemented daily temperature checks upon arrival for the staff and children, our staff ad anyone entering our building are required to wear masks. To take it a step further, we are doing a curbside pickup and drop off for our families, which helps limit the exposure to COVID in our facility.

We are so excited to announce that within the next coming months, our facility will begin to offer WatchMeGrow. WatchMeGrow is a real-time view into your child’s fun filled day through live-streaming camera access. You will be able to be a part of their educational journey from your phone!

Our Prep Lab program is a program to help facilitate distance learning in a manner that coincides with elementary school curriculum. We are providing children with hands on workbooks and experiences that provide continued developmentally appropriate activities in accordance to their grade level.

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!

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

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.
