Con frecuencia Preguntas frecuentes
Elegir la guardería adecuada es una decisión importante. Estas son respuestas a preguntas comunes que nos hacen familias como la suya.
How does La Petite Academy handle meals, food allergies, and dietary needs?
La Petite Academy of Shelby provides nutritious meals and snacks, with menus approved by a registered dietitian nutritionist and aligned with USDA nutrition and portion guidelines. Si su hijo tiene una alergia alimentaria o restricción dietética, trabajaremos con su familia para comprender sus necesidades y desarrollar un plan adecuado. Hay opciones vegetarianas disponibles, y adaptaciones adicionales pueden estar disponibles para necesidades dietéticas especiales, requisitos religiosos o alergias alimentarias graves.
Do you accept child care assistance or subsidies?
Yes. La Petite Academy of Shelby works with Department of Social Services (DSS) to help eligible families with the cost of care.
¿Cuánto cuesta la matrícula?
Tuition at La Petite Academy of Shelby varies by your child's age and program, and the type of care you choose. Contact us for current tuition rates, availability, and details about what's included in tuition.
Do you offer tuition discounts?
Yes. Eligible families may qualify for tuition savings, including military, sibling, referral, and employer discounts. Contact us to learn more about available discounts and eligibility.
What does a typical day look like at La Petite Academy?
At La Petite Academy of Shelby, your child's day includes a mix of learning, play, outdoor time, meals, and rest. Children explore Learning Centers, participate in small- and large-group activities, and enjoy time outdoors. Meals, snacks, rest, and plenty of opportunities for choice and play are built into the day, providing a familiar routine while keeping each day engaging.
How do you track my child’s development and share their progress?
Each child has an individual portfolio that grows with them as they progress from one age group to the next, capturing their development and learning along the way. Teachers use developmental checklists, work samples, photos, and observations to understand their progress and support continued growth. Families stay connected through SproutAbout updates, family-teacher conferences, and daily conversations with their child's teachers.
How does learning progress as children move into the next age group?
Our Learn as We Grow curriculum follows six core concepts throughout the year. Children explore these same concepts from Toddlers through Pre-K, but how they experience them changes as they grow. Each program introduces developmentally appropriate activities that build in complexity, helping children deepen their understanding and build new skills as they progress from one classroom to the next.
How does La Petite Academy support children as they transition between classrooms and developmental stages?
Moving to a new classroom is an exciting milestone at La Petite Academy of Shelby. Children gradually visit their new classroom, meet their teachers, and become familiar with new routines before the transition. Teachers work together to support continuity, while families receive regular updates throughout the process.
How does La Petite Academy support children with special needs or individual developmental needs?
At La Petite Academy of Shelby, we recognize that every child learns and develops differently. We encourage you to talk with your local school about your child's specific needs. Our team will work with you to understand how we can support your child and discuss any accommodations or additional support they may need. Open communication with families helps us create a nurturing, inclusive environment where each child can learn, grow, and feel supported.
How often will my child have opportunities for outdoor play and physical activity?
Outdoor exploration happens more than once a day, weather permitting, giving children time to run, climb, jump, and explore nature. These experiences encourage curiosity, movement, and a connection with the world around them.
