Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Tampa, FL! My name is Amanda and I am the center director. I have been with La Petite for several years as both a teacher and manager. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education and a Level I Florida Director's Credential.
This school here in Tampa has been open since 1988. We currently have six former students who now bring their own children here! In addition to providing superior Infant care, our Preschool options offer the best early education in the community.

We have an outstanding staff with a combined 150 years of experience in early childhood education. They all receive monthly training as well as ongoing training by the state.
