Program Philosophy and Goals

Thank you for choosing Our Lady’s Little Learners Preschool! We are happy to provide a preschool program for your young child(ren) that is developmentally appropriate and filled with wonderful early learning experiences. It is our goal to challenge the minds of the young children that attend our program and prepare them for a love of learning. Our purpose at OLLL Preschool is to provide an environment that will nurture and stimulate the development of young children and surround them with an atmosphere of God’s love.

Students in the OLLL Preschool program will be exposed to a curriculum that promotes emotional, spiritual, social, cognitive, and motor development. The curriculum will include a variety of activities and materials that are meaningful and challenging, and are tailored to meet their individual needs, interests, and abilities. The curriculum stimulates critical thinking skills, increases language development, and develops basic concepts as a foundation for learning throughout their lives.
