We just moved into our brand-new 2.5 acre campus and expanded our offerings, so this is a rare ground-up opportunity for a visionary leader to shape the future of one of Napa Valley’s most beloved early childhood programs.

About Le Petit Elephant

For over a decade, LPE has been known for its thoughtfully designed, child-centered approach to early education blending year-round outdoor learning, play-based academics, Spanish immersion, social-emotional development, and deep respect for childhood. We serve children from infancy through preschool and Transitional Kindergarten/TK, and we are poised to grow even further with the launch of our new campus.

Provide tours as needed for prospective families
