Description: In the simplest terms, La Petite Academy provides educational child care. But our commitment to kids doesn’t stop there. We are passionate about providing your children with the tools they need to be successful in all aspects of their lives.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
