As Academy Director, I'd like to personally welcome you to our La Petite Academy educational center in Virginia Beach, VA. My name is Bridgit Pinelli and at La Petite Academy, our Infant child care through Junior K programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and child development.
All our teachers receive monthly training as well as ongoing training throughout the year. At least half of our staff here in Virginia Beach have worked here for more than five years and we have some teachers who have been here for 20 years or more. Our teachers are truly connected to each and every child and they build long-lasting relationships with our families.
At La Petite, we have an excellent program with loving, nurturing teachers who create a warm, welcoming environment. We are committed to the safety of the children in our care. As an extra layer of security we provide security cameras through WatchMeGrow which are live-feed viewing to parents as well as a parent communication app, brightwheel, which we are able to communicate with you throughout the day.
During these times we've also added an extra layer of safety and sanitation to ensure every child and family is safe while in our building. All staff, parents, & children receive temperature checks at our door, we have hand sanitation stations, smaller group sizes to ensure social distancing, and masks are required at all times while inside our building. We are also prepared to help parents with virtual learning with our new Prep Lab! Elementary age children are able to bring their devices school to LaPetite to ensure lessons are being completed on time with their elementary school teacher, assisting in tech support, and basic guidance.
Our goals are to be the best educators we can be and be flexible with our learning as our world is changing to give the best learning experience for the children we serve. Call our La Petite Academy at 757-471-6104 and schedule a tour with us. We look forward to meeting you!
