Welcome to Our School

Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Summerville, SC! My name is Cindy Kunkel and I have been with La Petite since 1996. I love working with children and enjoy building relationships with each family.

Watching the children learn and grow in our Infant Care and Preschool programs has been very rewarding for me. It is an amazing feeling to hear about the successes of children who have gone through our early education programs.

When a family joins La Petite Academy here in Summerville, they join our family. My staff and I are committed to the highest standards in care and education. We have an experienced staff with over 100 years of combined service to our children.

Safety is a top priority; our facility is equipped with a front-door keypad entry system. We also have alerts on doors that inform us when a door has been opened.

Call to schedule a tour of our amazing La Petite Academy in Summerville, SC today. You will be glad you did!

La petite has been an excellent center since my daughter first started attending at age 1 (she is 4 now). The staff have been attentive and caring. My daughter is excited to be enrolled in the Pre-K program and loves her teacher!

Overall I’m very satisfied. I feel comfortable leaving my child here and I can tell she is comfortable and excited to go to school in the morning. I also like that she gets to go outside and play every day that the weather allows.

My daughter is 4 and has rarely been cared for by anyone except me or my parents, so starting preschool a few days a week was a big transition for us. The staff and children at LaPetite have been wonderful. Her preschool teacher, Ms. Shawna, has been loving and empathetic toward my anxious daughter and accommodating to her unique quirks. My daughter now sees her teacher as her safe place and loves
...
her dearly, which puts my mind at ease. I love the brightwheel app that tells me what my child does during the day. They also have an open door policy so you can drop in any time and see how your munchkin is doing. I love this school and this comes from someone with trust issues. Thank you all so very much. ❤️
