About the Provider
Welcome to our wonderful school! My name is Shelvie Farthing and I am Academy Director. I have 25 years of experience at La Petite Academy, with 16 of those years in management. I believe my experience has allowed our school to be the success it is today. I enjoy watching children learn and helping each child and his or her family feel like this is a place they can call home.
