Christian Pre-school
A Christ-centred preschool nurturing the whole child — body, soul, and mind — in a safe, enclosed, and loving home away from home.
Since 1989, Petra Christian Pre-School has been a beacon of faith-based early childhood education in the heart of Marais Steyn Park, Edenvale. We don't just teach children — we raise them with purpose, love, and the truth of God's Word.
Situated in a safe, enclosed premises with CCTV in every classroom, Petra offers parents complete peace of mind. Our qualified and experienced staff deliver a play-based, CAPS and GDE-aligned curriculum — giving every child the individual attention they deserve to truly flourish.
We offer full day and half day enrolment, stay open during school holidays, and run a Holiday Club — making Petra the flexible, year-round solution for busy families. Every day, children enjoy healthy, nutritious meals carefully planned to support brain development and physical growth.
As a GDE registered institution, you can trust that Petra meets the highest standards of early childhood education — wrapped in the warmth of Christian love and care.
Petra is for all of God's children.
Raising the Whole Child
We are dedicated to nurturing every child across all five dimensions of who they are — because a truly thriving child is one who is whole.
Spiritually Grounded in Christian values, prayer,
and the living Word of God — children at Petra grow up knowing they are loved by a God who has great plans for their lives. (Jeremiah 29:11)
Emotionally We create a warm, secure environment where children feel safe to express themselves, build resilience, and develop a healthy sense of identity and self-worth.
Physically Through active outdoor play, movement, and healthy daily nutrition, we support every child's physical development and help them build strong, healthy bodies.
Socially Children learn to share, collaborate, and build meaningful friendships — rooted in kindness, empathy, and the Biblical principle of loving one another.
Intellectually Our play-based curriculum ignites a love of learning — sparking curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through exploration, discovery, and imagination.
