"A Private School For Little Locals"
At Les Petits Prep, we give littles the love, tools, and encouragement they need to jump start their educational careers.

I began my teaching career in 1998 after graduating from Mississippi State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a focus on Educational Psychology. In addition to being a mother of two and teaching – both in the public and the private sector – I have also worked in emergency hospital settings as a licensed Respiratory Therapist and am fully CPR certified. When time allows, I enjoy freelance writing and have contributed to local publications such as 30a.com, beachLife magazine, and others. After a detour into the medical field, I returned to the most important, and most rewarding, work I have ever done…teaching.

Claire Bear is our tiniest classmate. If you know her, you love her. At a heroic six pounds, she is a hypoallergenic cavapoo who believes herself to be another little. She joins us for class a couple of times a week.
Our littles find the world is theirs for the taking through literacy. With a heavy focus on early reading, we incorporate phonetic sounds, focused reading groups, individual one-on-one reading lessons, competitive writing activities, and story books for every occasion into a thematic curriculum. We foster a lifelong love of reading and a healthy connection between the written word and a boundless imagination. Literacy encompasses a blend of reading, writing, and conveying information. So, our goal is to intertwine all three of these to nurture each little’s reading success.
Every child counts…literally. Number sense and mathematical concepts are learned in group study and reinforced with strategic mathematical center play. Group study includes number recognition, counting, sorting, and simple addition and subtraction through fun, engaging storytelling and imagery.
Get ready to learn something new with your little. Sign language is a hands-on way to expand on literacy, improve fine motor skills, introduce diverse ways of communicating, and build self-confidence in young learners.
Learning about our diverse world, its many beautiful people, and its cultures is not only fun for littles…it also promotes growth, open minds, and open hearts. Littles will gain a sense of who they are and where they are from, a budding love and passion for our planet, and an appreciation for all of humanity – both near and far. With our very own passports, we take classroom opportunities to explore the globe with our imaginations, celebrate cultural differences, learn some geography and geographical landmarks, get our passports “stamped” with each new destination, and become future world travelers.
True to 30A style, artistic expression is a must for our little locals. Art projects (both teacher led, and student led) are integrated into weekly lessons in an effort to make art a therapeutic and creative outlet for years to come. Art is proven to improve children’s academic achievement. "Every child is an artist.” ~Pablo Picasso
Ready. Set. Experiment! Weekly class experiments keep littles curious about the world around them. We put on our scientist hats and work together to answer those “How does it work?” questions. How does a rain cloud produce rain? What makes a volcano errupt? What is elephant toothpaste? It’s messy. It’s gooey. It’s fun. It’s science.
Experts are finding that K and Pre-K children blossom and thrive academically and emotionally in a more interactive, hands-on, play-infused environment and will go on to develop improved self-confidence, communication and social skills, cognitive development, and problem-solving skills. So play is a must!

"We had the best experience with Mrs. Christy & Les Petits Prep. Every day my son looked forward to school, and I was blown away by his growth in reading, math, and overall social skills. I love that Mrs. Christy fosters a love of learning & teaches children about life in other countries. My son loved telling me all about the foods, landmarks, and cultures all around the world. He especially loved weekly science projects and coming home to teach me sign language. Thank you Mrs. Christy!"
"We absolutely LOVE Les Petits Prep! Mrs. Christy is a literal Godsend, and I couldn't be more grateful that my Little gets to learn under her tender care. Not only does Mrs. Christy make the learning experience fun, she makes it memorable! My daughter didn't know how to read yet, and in four short months she is reading at a 2nd grade reading level! To top it all off, Mrs. Christy teaches them kindness, consideration, and focuses on each student's individual needs all with a smile on her face. Feels like we won the jackpot with
Les Petit Prep."
"Our family has had a great experience with Ms. Christy at Les Petits Prep. After attending Pre-K and summer with Les Petits Prep, our son went into kindergarten ahead of the curve and he is well ahead in his reading and writing.
Ms. Christy makes every day special! Every day she shares multiple photos of all the fun they’re having, which I love. She has created a special school. Her students are her heart and it shows. I highly recommend this school!"
