Now Enrolling for Preschool and Pre-K

The path to kindergarten, and future success, goes through Preschool and Pre-K. The sooner your child starts their journey, the better. Let us ensure their school readiness. 

Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy, a nationally accredited early learning center in Hockessin, DE. My name is Randi Racan, and I am your Center Director. Our amazing childcare center has been staple of the Hockessin Community since 1994. I am proud to share that I have been a part of this educational family for over 16 years.

We offer an academic and nurturing experience for Infants as young as six weeks old continuing up through our Pre-Kindergarten program. We also provide Before- and After-School care for North Star Elementary and a fun filled summer camp program.

Our dedicated and long-term staff encourage and cultivate positive learning experiences for all children through our individualized curriculum. Our teachers participate in professional development throughout the year to stay current in the field of early childhood education as well as offer the most engaging experiences for your little ones.

Our facility is kept safe and secure using a locked entry system as well as security cameras throughout the building and exterior of our school. You will have access to the cameras in your child's classroom as well! Only staff and enrolled families may enter using their unique security code. Visitors must be approved by the administrative staff and provide ID before entering.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care. Get access to live streaming video of your child’s classroom, plus other real-time updates, with our exclusive mobile app for families, SproutAbout.

Our teacher contributed to our child’s vocabulary to the level we would have never imagined. Children are involved in many various activities that help them develop physically, psychologically and emotionally.

We have been comfortable, secure and have loved the experience both of our children have had with their daycare through pre-school

Great staff and loving teachers. I called them “my little village” as they are there for me to helping me esucate my child.
Enrolled Family
La Petite has exceeded our expectations! We feel comfort knowing our daughter is in a safe, loving and engaging environment when we are unable to be with her. She loves school and has formed close friendships that have carried through the years. The staff are always welcoming and have impressed me with their professionalism and sincerity.
