La Petite Academy, Gaithersburg

Thank you for visiting La Petite Academy educational daycare in Gaithersburg, MD! My name is Danielle and I am the director. I have an associate's degree in early childhood development as well as 14 years of experience as a teacher and a manager. At La Petite, our infant child care and preschool programs provide the perfect foundation for learning and child development. I run this daycare like everyone involved is an extension of my own family - the children, parents, and teachers. I strive to create a welcoming environment and maintain an open-door policy for anyone who would like to talk. We plan a lot of events for everyone to participate in and I work hard to ensure that families meet each other and develop strong relationships as well. I find it rewarding when I overhear a child telling their parent about the great day that they had and how much fun they had with their teachers. We are fortunate to have an outstanding staff that is dedicated to our children and families. More than half of our teachers have more than 5 years of teaching experience. All of our teachers here in Gaithersburg receive monthly training as well as ongoing training provided by the state of Maryland. We value the relationships we have with our families and work hard to involve them in our programs. We offer a number of opportunities for our families to volunteer in the classroom and on field trips as well as monthly events, including Parents' Night Out and other family outings.
