Welcome to Our School
Welcome to La Petite Academy in Orlando, FL! My name is Nicole and I am the academy director. I hold both a CDA and a Florida Director Credential and have more than 20 years of experience in early childhood education.
We are located at the corner of Forest City Road and Pembrook Drive in Orlando, just before the State Road 414/Maitland Boulevard underpass. We proudly serve the families of the Orlando/Altamonte Springs/Maitland/Apopka areas and service Riverside Elementary School.
Our daycare provides an enriched, stimulating environment in our Infant/Toddler Care, Preschool, VPK and School-Age. At La Petite Academy, we supply children with both the freedom and the instruction to thrive.
We are accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation and have a Gold Seal certification. Staff members have been with our program for 10 to 15 years and combined, we have more than 100 years of experience! Many of our Early Educators hold a CDA or higher. All staff are First Aid and CPR certified and several are bilingual.
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.
