Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our NECPA-accredited La Petite Academy educational daycare in Tucson, AZ. My name is Mindy and I am the academy director. I have over 19 years of early childhood experience as a teacher, assistant director and director.
Our proven STEM-based curriculum helps successfully prepare children for Kindergarten! We offer Infant and Toddler Care, Preschool and Pre-K programs. We also have a before- and after-school club and provide bus transport from Senita Valley (pick up only), Dunham (pick up only), Marshall (pick up only), and Legacy (pick up only-no AM Kinder) elementary schools.
Collectively, my staff and I have more than 100 years of child care experience and are dedicated to preparing your child for elementary school and beyond. We provide a loving, warm and caring atmosphere.
We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

Hello, My name is Mindy. I have been working in child care since I was 16 years old. It has always been my passion to watch young children grow and flourish in an academic setting. I have been with La Petite for 13 years and I could not be happier! A fun fact about me is that I have a 13 year old daughter that is the light of my life. She has attended La Petite Academy since she was three months old. I look forward to watching our La Petite family grow!
