Welcome to Our School
Welcome to our nationally-accredited La Petite Academy educational daycare in Tucson, AZ. We are located in the beautiful area of Tanque Verde and Bear Canyon.
I'm excited to share that we offer a STEM-based curriculum. We provide premium diapers, pull-ups, and wipes for the children that need them. Transportation is provided for School-Age children from these local elementary schools: Collier, Agua Caliente, and Tanque Verde. We also offer a soccer elective once a week for children ages two to five.
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.
Let us guide your children and teach them the skills they need for elementary school and beyond. We will ensure your children are happy and safe while in our care!

I have been working with children for 13 years and I love helping them grow and develop! I have been in administration for four years and have enjoyed encouraging a strong sense of community and culture with our teachers, students, and families. Whether it's providing loving care for infants or participating in activities in our preschool programs, I truly love what I do each day. My staff, children and parents are like family to me.
