Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy educational daycare in Tampa, FL! My name is Disney Hernandez and I am the academy director. I have been with La Petite since 2007. I have more than 22 years’ experience in early learning education.

Our school provides educational options and choices for children of every age and stage through our Infant care, Preschool and Before- and After-School program. Our teachers help make each child's learning experience fun and enjoyable every day. This center is accredited by the National Early Childhood Program Accreditation.

I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for our families. We have an outstanding staff that is dedicated to our children and families here in Tampa. We have taken some significant steps to upgrade our school to ensure that our children have the most up-to-date and engaging learning environment.

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.
