Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy, early childhood education center, in Waunakee, WI! We serve the communities of Waunakee, Westport and Dane. My name is Jen and I am the director. I have 18 years of experience as an educator and 15 years in management.
At La Petite, our Infant child care and Preschool programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and development. The majority of our teachers have associate's or bachelor's degrees in education. They further their knowledge of the field by attending continuing education classes each year.
We’re committed to providing simple ways to keep you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. With live streaming video, you can view your child’s classroom from any device or computer. Plus, get real-time updates with our family communication app.
We closely follow recommendations from state and local authorities, to maintain a clean, safe, healthy environment.
We would love to have you set up a tour with our center so we can show you all of our high-quality program offerings. Every child deserves a great start to his or her education, and La Petite Academy in Waunakee, WI has what your family is looking for.

At a very young age, my desire to teach and lead others was evident, being the oldest of four children. Now that I have three children of my own, education has always been at the forefront of my mind. The academic and social skills learned through my own children's experiences with La Petite Academy have helped shape them into amazing students at school and beyond.

I have been in the early childhood field for six years. The compassion I have for children and families radiates through my interactions with our team and families. I have worked in the early childhood field since high school and feel strongly that the influence of a quality early education experience lasts a lifetime! Being a mother myself, I know the importance of providing quality care and enriching learning experiences for all of the students and their families.
