Petits Enfants is a family owned and operated learning center that began in Metuchen in 1969.  In 2016 we expanded to our South Plainfield campus, bringing our programs that are built on a foundation of academic distinction. To ensure our students are ready to further their education, we incorporate innovative, experimental and traditional learning techniques to develop their strengths and encourage their talents.

Our well-rounded curriculum includes literacy centers, hands-on activities, interactive and imaginary play, phonics and reading, mathematics, and language arts. Our program will offer students the education they deserve to move forward into the future, and children are encouraged to create and achieve with a sense of accomplishment.
