Welcome!

Our Lady of Victory Early Childhood Program was created to provide quality Kindergarten preparation within a loving and nurturing leaning environment. We believe each child possesses unique gifts to help them succeed in their educational journey. Our program strives to provide an academic foundation by fostering creativity, a joy of learning, and the early life skills that will follow them through their life long learning experience! 

Our teachers have had years of experience with our little ones and possess the attributes of professionalism, active family involvement in the home-school connection and the ability to meet the individual needs of the children within a warm and nurturing environment.  Team teaching, creative lessons and whole-life experiences will serve to enrich your child's life.

Testimonials from Parents:

  • Our Lady of Victory Early Childhood Program has provided our daughter a loving and nurturing environment where her social and academic needs have been met beyond our expectations. Her teachers are the most genuine and caring individuals that we have ever met.  We are looking forward to sending our son to Our Lady of Victory in a few years.

  • These days with both parents out in the work force, it’s comforting to know that your child is being nurtured in a safe, friendly atmosphere where they are learning and building confidence. The OLV Early Childhood Program has given my child the foundation to move forward and be a self-confident student as he moves forward in his school years. The teachers and staff at OLV are more than educators; they are friends and confidants.  Any parent looking for a safe, friendly atmosphere for their child to learn “OLV is the Place to be.”

  • Our Lady of Victory Early Childhood is a great place to enroll your child for pre-kindergarten education.  We now have our third child enrolled in the preschool program, and have nothing but positive things to say.  From the songs and crafts that follow your kids home to the holiday and star of the day celebrations...our children love OLV!   The teachers and staff are so welcoming and make you feel confident that your child is in a great place and getting well prepared for Kindergarten!
