OLS Preschool Program

Preschool is an integral part of our school community—not just an add‑on. We look forward to welcoming your family into the
Our Lady of the Snows School community.

Foundations

Our preschool program welcomes both 3- and 4-year-olds, providing a strong foundation to ensure they’re confident, curious, and well-prepared for kindergarten and beyond.

Flexibility

We offer flexible scheduling to meet the needs of today’s families, with both full-day (including lunch and nap time) and half-day (ending after lunch) options available five days a week.

Our Extended Day Program supports working families by providing flexible, reliable care before and after school—from as early as 6:45 a.m. to as late as 5:45 p.m.—for an additional fee.

Connection

Our Faith Buddies Program nurtures meaningful connections between our youngest learners and older student mentors through shared experiences like attending Mass, working on special projects, and participating in community-building activities. It’s a beautiful way to foster faith, friendship, and a strong sense of belonging from the very beginning.

Our Preschool Philosophy

Anchored in our exploratory learning model, your child will learn through hands‑on discovery, imaginative play, and creative exploration. ​​​

Academic concepts in math, reading, religion, and science/social studies are woven into the daily routine.

In a nurturing, faith‑filled environment, children build social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual foundations that prepare them for future learning.

Throughout the week, Preschoolers also enjoy enrichment in Spanish, Art, and P.E.

Enhancing the Preschool Experience

At Our Lady of the Snows, we believe excellence is intentional—and that belief starts in our earliest classrooms. That’s why we are excited to introduce the Early Childhood Language Intensive Program in our preschool classrooms.

In partnership with the Alliance for Catholic Education at the University of Notre Dame, we now offer daily Spanish instruction, connecting students with language and culture in meaningful, age-appropriate ways that support global awareness and early academic development.
