The school's professionally trained teachers understand a child's developmental process and align classroom activities to meet their kiddos' interests and needs. Learning experiences at Pettit Private School support a Constructivist Approach, where children construct new knowledge by "doing"; participating, hands-on, in a variety of theme-related activities.
Our staff partners with parents to awaken a child's purpose, passion and success! Working together as a team – child, teachers and parents – our purpose is to help children grow in all developmental areas: physical, social, emotional, cognitive and spiritual. Our goal is to help prepare them for life's experiences, including the entrance into grade school, and have the ability to thrive and achieve. Ultimately, we want to help you "lay the strong foundation upon which the rest of your child's life will be built!" (Matthew 7:24-25).
We serve the following:
Infants (6 weeks – approx. 13 months)
Toddlers
Twos (Early Learners)

Curriculum Information
Understanding that children learn best when information is organized and connected, Pettit Private School includes a research-based, themed curriculum in all classrooms. Each month, a new theme is selected and broken down into weekly mini themes. All letters, shapes, colors, stories, arts and crafts, field trips and other learning experiences support the monthly theme, which allows children to create organized "files" within their brains from which they can later, more easily, retrieve. Learning begins in our infant room and continues through our Pre-K program with information and learning experiences becoming more complex, building upon previous, learned knowledge.
