Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Bradenton, FL. This location first opened in 1979! We serve communities in Bradenton, Anna Maria Island, Sarasota, Ellenton, Palmetto, Parish, and Lakewood Ranch.

My name is Gina and I am the Academy Director. I have over 15 years of experience in early childhood education. I have been with the Learning Care Group for nine years, transferring from NJ to FL. Come on over, we would love for you to see our school!

Our school includes Infant Care, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Before- and After-School Care for School-Age children. We transport to Prine, JP Miller, Seabreeze and Moody. In all our programs we follow a STEM approach, providing hands-on learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We are nationally accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation.

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.

We truly enjoy every day at our La Petite Academy in Bradenton, FL and invite you to join us for a tour!

It's been an amazing experience. My son always wants to go to school and never wants to leave. Any time I've had a question, it's immediately answered. Any concerns I've voiced, Ms. Elisa has made me felt heard and put forth an action plan. I've seen such a great difference in my son and he amazes me with all he learns at school.
