Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our La Petite Academy educational daycare in Topeka, KS. My name is Stevi and I am the academy director. I started in the field of early childhood education in 2008 and hold an Associate of Arts degree in psychology with a minor in child development from the University of Phoenix.
At La Petite Academy, our infant care and preschool programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and development. We strive to offer a loving and consistent environment for our students, who range in age from six weeks to six years, while placing an emphasis on academic excellence.
We are passionate about our school and treat everyone as an extension of our own families. My staff and I create a warm and welcoming environment and maintain an open-door policy. We plan monthly events for all families to participate in and we work hard to ensure our families get to know each other and develop strong relationships.
Our teachers have more than 100 years of combined experience! Each teacher is CPR and first aid certified to provide the safest environment for your child.
Please call today to set up a tour of our wonderful La Petite Academy in Topeka, KS, currently serving Shawnee County. We look forward to meeting your family!

I've been with La Petite since 2012 and I absolutely LOVE children! I love to watch them learn and grow. My day is complete when I have a little person telling me they love me! I am married and have two beautiful children, and a very special dog that is like my third child!
