Families love the balance of nurturing care and milestone development in this program. In a warm, safe, stimulating classroom, children have a primary caregiver to attend to their needs. Plus, our exclusive, milestone-focused curriculum, Learn from the Start™, was developed by our educational experts to focus on key developmental milestones specific to infants. We emphasize each child’s development, rather than specific age, because all children grow and learn at their own pace, and in their own unique way. We’re also here when you need us.

Parent Reviews
I’ve enjoyed the time our child has been there! It’s nice to have a partnership with the people who are with your kid during a large part of their lives!
via lapetite.comWe have had a great experience thus far. Everyone communicates with us and knows every child by name, which is wonderful. The staff truly cares about each child.
via lapetite.comI’ve been extremely happy in the school. The fun activities, learning experiences, and the love and care they get are the best.
via lapetite.comWe've loved being part of the La Petite family. The director, Shannon, is wonderful. Always ready to answer questions and keep us informed. Our daughter's teachers are kind and helpful. When we bring our older daughter in, her former teachers always say hi to her and ask her how she is doing. It's wonderful that they remember her from when she attended the school. Thank you!
