Dear Parents,

Thank you for visiting our website. Lacey’s Petit Academy is a privately owned and family operated childcare center in Maplewood and South Orange, New Jersey since 2005. I was a working mom and I valued the excellent quality childcare that my children received. When I decided to open a childcare center I wanted to give back to the families an exceptional experience of high quality childcare at an affordable price.

At Lacey’s Petit Academy we believe that the children are our future and we feel that by creating a stimulating environment where the children can learn, play and grow will ensure their success. Our number one goal is to create an environment where your child can feel safe and well nurtured.

In addition, we believe that partnering with our parents is important for the healthy growth and development of your child.

We hope that you find this website helpful and that we were able to assist you in answering any questions you may have regarding the policies, procedures and regulations governing our school.

Please stop in and visit our center. We look forward to seeing you!

Sincerely,
Pauline Lacey
Executive Director
