Welcome to Our School

Welcome to La Petite Academy, an educational daycare and preschool in Windsor, CA! At La Petite Academy, we offer educational opportunities for children ages 18 months to 6 years. Here, exceptionally strong social and educational foundations are formed. We hope for our children to love learning as much as our teachers love educating. Staff members participate in training throughout the year.

Keeping our students safe is our top priority here at La Petite Academy. To ensure that we are keeping students, staff and anyone stepping through the doors of our school safe, we are now implementing a health and temperature screening check at drop off. All staff and students are wearing masks while in the school and washing their hands at any transition and every time entering a classroom. We work diligently to ensure that our school remains a safe and healthy environment for all.

Estamos comprometidos a mantenerlo conectado durante todo el día mientras su hijo está bajo nuestro cuidado. Obtenga acceso a transmisión de video en vivo del aula de su hijo, además de otras actualizaciones en tiempo real, con nuestra aplicación móvil exclusiva para familias, SproutAbout.

Along with these other changes at our school, we are excited to be extending our curriculum as we introduce our new School Age Prep Lab. The Prep Lab workbooks will address the lost class time that children have experienced across the country. These target critical literacy and math skills, allowing children the opportunity to practice these skills so that they will be better prepared to enter the next grade level in the fall. There will be 3 grade-level Prep Lab Student Workbooks for each camp: Kindergarten/1st grade, 2nd/3rd grade, and 4th/5th grade.

Our school has a warm and welcoming environment and we look forward to welcoming your family! Please call to schedule a tour of our amazing La Petite Academy in Windsor, CA!

How does La Petite Academy handle meals, food allergies, and dietary needs?

La Petite Academy of Windsor provides nutritious meals and snacks, with menus approved by a registered dietitian nutritionist and aligned with USDA nutrition and portion guidelines. If your child has a food allergy or dietary restriction, we'll work with your family to understand their needs and develop an appropriate plan. Vegetarian options are available, and additional accommodations may be available for special dietary needs, religious requirements, or severe food allergies.

¿Cuánto cuesta la matrícula?

Tuition at La Petite Academy of Windsor 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 accept child care assistance or subsidies?

Yes. La Petite Academy of Windsor works with child care assistance and subsidy programs that help eligible families with the cost of care.

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 Windsor, 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 Windsor. 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 Windsor, 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.
