About
NOLA Petites is an early learning center and daycare in New Orleans, LA, serving children ages 1 to 6 during the school year and offering summer camps for ages 1 to 8. Founded by educational professionals with more than 20 years of school experience, including specialties in Special Education and Arts Inclusion, the center blends a Montessori-inspired approach with arts-based learning.
Teachers act as guides, connecting each child with activities and materials aligned to individual interests, needs, and developmental stage. Classrooms are organized to promote movement, collaboration, concentration, and order, and feature hands-on materials that build skills one concept at a time. Multi-age groupings support peer mentoring and a close, caring community while fostering independence, coordination, and self-regulation.
NOLA Petites provides high-quality education and childcare in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment and partners with families to prepare children for their next educational steps.
