The goal of Our Lady of Angels Preschool is to build on the foundation of a Christian community for the young children and families we serve. We believe in preserving and guiding the physical, social, cognitive and spiritual needs of our students. We believe that each child develops at his or her own pace and should be recognized for their individual contributions and efforts. We provide a developmentally appropriate environment for which your child can learn and develop socially amongst his or her peers. The preschool environment includes a play-based structure while incorporating a variety of materials and activities, enabling our students to learn new skills verbally, intellectually and physically. Establishing a partnership with our families and incorporating their participation is a crucial component of our program.
