Children learn that God created each of us to be unique individuals. We are all special! Each child will come to know God and His love for them. They learn that we should also love one another as an extension of God’s love for us. The children start every day with a prayer to help remind them to give thanks to God for all He does for us. Each and every lesson that is taught in our program is fully founded on faith and Catholic values. We instill in our students kindness, empathy, compassion, and respect for one another.

We provide a loving and warm environment where children learn to associate pleasure with learning.
