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 and a new parent mobile app providing real time updates and photos. We provide premium diapers, pull-ups, and wipes for the children that need them. Transportation is provided for school age children these local elementary schools: Collier, Agua Caliente, and Tanque Verde. We offer a soccer elective once a week for children ages two to five.
Safety Protocols – We are focused on health and safety in our school: Temperature checks on all children and staff members, and anyone who goes past the front office. We have increased our sanitizing and disinfecting protocols and have stopped family style dinning.
WatchMeGrow live streaming - We are offering live streaming that gives you secure access to view your child’s classroom in real time while your child is in our care – either from a computer or via mobile app.
The Prep Lab – We are supporting school-age students this school year via The Prep Lab. We support school-age students and their families as they face any challenges and changes in their local school district, with flexible scheduling and even a full-day option. Our teachers have been trained to support local school district distance learning so children stay on course with their studies.
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 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.
