Early Childhood Program

Love of Learning Begins Here

At Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School, our Early Childhood program is where a lifelong love of learning begins.

In our fully licensed program, children are welcomed into a joyful, nurturing space that feels like a second home. With spacious classrooms, interactive learning centers, and a brand-new playground designed just for our youngest students, every detail is built with your child’s growth, safety, and happiness in mind.

Our highly qualified educators—both with advanced degrees—work alongside full-time classroom assistants to provide the individual attention, encouragement, and care that every child deserves. Through hands-on learning, play-based exploration, and gentle faith formation, we help our little learners develop not only academic readiness but also kindness, curiosity, and confidence.

We follow Florida state guidelines for enrollment:

  • Children must be three years old on or before September 1 to enroll in our EC3 program.
  • Children must be four years old on or before September 1 to enroll in VPK (Voluntary Prekindergarten).

Our VPK students participate in the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Assessment, and for the past two years, our program has achieved 100% proficiency across the board—reflecting our strong foundation in early literacy, math, and social-emotional skills.

From morning prayer to circle time, from building blocks to beginning reading, every moment in our Early Childhood program is thoughtfully designed to support your child’s heart, mind, and spirit.

Here, your child’s first school experience will be one filled with wonder, love, and the joyful beginnings of a faith-filled education.
