I have been with La Petite Academy for over 10 years. After spending my first 10 years in the classroom, I was excited to move into the director position. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to help our staff, students and families grow and learn.

Being with La Petite for over 20 years I have seen many families come and go. I love that some of my former students are returning with little ones of their own. It is such a joy to see the LPA tradition grow while families continue to make more memories.
