Description: Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Indianapolis, IN. My name is Qiara Carr and I am the academy director. I have an associate’s degree from Ivy Tech and a bachelor's degree from Ashford University.
In addition to providing superior local infant care, our preschool program offers the best early education in the Indianapolis community. We understand the importance of maintaining open communication with all of our families and we have a variety of systems in place to ensure that parents are receiving information about our school and their children on a daily basis.
We run this school here in Indianapolis like everyone involved is an extension of our own families. We create a warm and welcoming environment and maintain an open-door policy for anyone who would like to talk. We plan a lot of events for everyone to participate in and work hard to ensure that families meet each other and develop strong relationships, as well.
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.
