Little Learners Academy (Ages 3 & 4)

The Little Learners Academy offers full-day, year round childcare for 3 & 4-year-olds. The preschool day runs from 8am to 3pm, with additional after-care services available until 5:30pm. Children develop confidence, creativity, and critical thinking skills using award-winning research-based HighScope Curriculum. In Holy Family’s preschool classrooms, children are guided to explore, interact, and exercise their creative imagination through purposeful play. Their certified, well-prepared teachers support and extend each child’s learning based on their developmental levels, so children enter Kindergarten ready and eager to learn.

Holy Family School provides affordable, private, faith-based education for students in Kindergarten through 8th grade. Holy Family is committed to helping students rise to their potential, becoming 21st-century leaders, through an academically challenging and Christian values-driven curriculum.

Holy Family’s goal is to open doors for families by offering all students tuition assistance. Additional programming includes year-round services for school families, even summer camp!
