Each adheres to the highest standards of safety, security, cleanliness, teaching and loving care. We have the resources of a large company, such as our own Education Department to set programs and curricula, as well as top training and professional development for our teachers. But, we also offer a small community environment at each of our local Academies. Each Academy operates the way any good neighborhood business does. We know our community and we understand how best to serve the parents and children who live there. La Petite Academy was established in 1968, with the purchase of seven university-sponsored centers. Today we operate more than 600 centers with over 13,000 employees. We are a pioneer in center-based care and our Preschool Curriculum has set the standard for preschool education. We are also a recognized leader in before and after school programs, summer and holiday camps and corporate programs.
