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.  To enter our Kindergarten Program, students must be 5 years old by August 31st of the enrolling year.
