Centro de desarrollo infantil First Flight

Welcome to First Flight Child Development Center at La Petite Academy!

I am your academy director LaShawnda Keys. I hold a BA degree in Child Development from California State University, Northridge. My work with young children and families in diverse communities spans over twenty-five years, this includes the judicial system and as a Children's Social Worker.

As the Academy Director, I know effective communication with parents and staff is what creates a nurturing and positive school environment and that's my goal here at First Flight! My desire is to advocate and support the children and families who cross paths with our program.

Our program offers full time care for your Infants/Toddlers, Preschool and Pre Kindergarten students. At La Petite Academy, our students participate in a wide variety of elective enriched programs and Summer Camp for students ages 3yrs through Kindergarten.

Our curriculum follows a STEM approach, where science, technology, engineering, and math are part of everything we do in the classroom.

We’re committed to keeping you connected throughout the day while your child is in our care with Sprout About. Sprout About is a parent/teacher application that allows parents and teachers to communicate with real-time updates.
