They are so attentive. One of the best schools you can send your child to. I enjoy knowing that…read morethey are well taken care of. I am very thankful for all the teachers that work there for keeping our kid highly motivated.

The preschool is filled with tenured teachers and staff. The teachers are super warm, nurturing,…read morecaring, and hardworking. There's lots of messy and sensory play for each age group (imagine shaving cream, hand-painting, homemade playdoh, and more). Did I mention that the kids get lots of outdoor time in this spacious, private, and enclosed playground and garden (see image below)?

First of all seeing these other reviews I am so very annoyed that these people are sharing reviews…read morebased on their experience from YEARS ago. Do not listen to them. I graduated from this school in 2012 and I must say I had an amazing experience. The classes and grades were very small so the learning environment is very intimate which made it so much easier to learn. The teachers were all very wonderful and cared greatly for their students. I received a wonderful education that prepared me greatly for high school, and it was very obvious in high school that I and others that attended this school were much more prepared than students from other schools. We learned discipline and respect for one another. I received a wonderful religious education and would not trade it for anything so please disregard these other reviews, because they do not apply to the current status of this wonderful school.

Okay the two reviews here are from 15-20 years ago so come on! Catholic schools in general were…read morevery different back then and they sound like they had bones to pick. With that said, my review is CURRENT! My daughter has been attending OLV (as we call it) this past year for their full day prek program. She absolutely loves it and it has been so good for her- not only socially (Never went to day care), but academically and spiritually. She is excelling at her letters and numbers (which since she wasn't in daycare I thought she might be behind). They learn about God and religion at the same time which I could not be happier. The kids are all very respectful. It's a nice small school with a community feel to it and everyone knows everyone. If My daughter is having a bad day, I can tell the office manager and she says she'll check up on her. You don't get that in a public school. And we actually live two blocks away from a public school but I felt it was too large and she would get lost in it. I don't regret my decision at all and as hard as it will be financially, we plan to keep her there till the end with 8th grade. Also want to mention their after school program is awesome. So flexible. I work from home so sometimes I can pick her up and sometimes I can't. I can call the school on the fly and put her in the after school program that day and I pay as I use it! A lot of other schools make you pay for set days with a monthly fee whether you use it or not. So please please don't go by reviews from eons ago and feel free to contact me if you want to talk about the school further! I'd be happy to help... because that's what parents at this school do for each other!
