Pettit Private School's mission is to serve families by providing premier, preschool and school-
age services.  We create a safe, nurturing, stimulating and fun place for children to be loved and
cared for during the day.  We want to be an extension of your family!

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.

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)
