JOIN OUR FAMILY
Kindergarten  

Our Kindergarten program at Our Lady of the Visitation School is a thriving, child-centered environment shaped by the belief that all children are capable and engaged learners. We provide and promote a positive academic, social, and emotional environment where students develop a curiosity and excitement for learning. As they grow and learn, our Catholic values and faith are embedded in our early childhood curriculum standards.
