About The School:  

Our Lady of Sorrows Early Kindergarten Program is sponsored by Our Lady of Sorrows Parish and overseen by the school Principal. Early Kindergarten is part of Our Lady of Sorrows-Seton Campus, which also has a full-day Kindergarten through Grade 8 and a Before/After School Program.

Philosophy: 

Our Early Kindergarten and Kindergarten work hand in hand to enhance learning and to better prepare each child for a positive academic foundation ensuring individual successes. We do this by providing an atmosphere of nurturing and acceptance in a safe and secure environment. We focus on a child-centered, developmentally appropriate classroom that works in conjunction with teacher-directed group activities. Building self-esteem cannot be underestimated. We individualize our educational programs. They are designed to meet the specific needs of each child. We celebrate multiculturalism, diversity and our own uniqueness. We are flexible. Acting on teachable moments is the key to providing the building blocks for tomorrow. If we are truly value our children, we must value their families. Parents should be recognized as experts of their own children. We have an open-door policy and encourage parental input. It has been said, “The journey through childhood is a once in a lifetime event.” (Anonymous)
