Meet the Teachers

Mrs. Pettiford

Kindergarten is a great milestone for your child. I understand that you and your child may have met this year with excitement, apprehension, or a little of both. I hope that you and your child will have an exciting year. I am always here to answer any questions that you may encounter. I have a degree in Elementary Education that I obtained from Fayetteville State University. I have also worked in Harnett County for 20+ years as a teacher assistant & classroom teacher. I am excited to be working with your child this year, helping him/her to achieve their full potential.

Mrs. Steadman
