My son has been attending LaPetite in Bloomington for a little over a year and I'm extremely satisfied with the care he's been receiving. His teachers are warm and personable. I can tell my son loves his teachers and enjoys his time with fellow students. Seeing him interact with the other students has been such a pleasure.

Discover Our Montessori Classroom

In this classroom, your child will make discoveries and think independently, as we prepare them for the future. The authentic Montessori curriculum enables children to learn in their own way, at their own pace, through the practical application of sensory-based and self-directed activities. Our certified Montessori teacher spends significant time with each child, helping them discover unique talents and interests. Plus, a full complement of Montessori equipment offers tangible, hands-on learning opportunities to develop children’s skills and senses.

This mixed-aged classroom (for 3- to 6-year-olds) also helps children to develop social skills and challenges them to learn to work together—while being mindful of the best interests of others.

Ask your school director for additional details.
