School Mission Statement

To provide quality Catholic education in a faith-filled environment, serving the community as one family in the body of Christ. We are fostering active Christians, life long learners, effective communicators, responsible citizens, and self-aware individuals.

Recognizing that the central purpose of Our Lady of Joy Parish is to become ever more deeply a Eucharistic Community, the preschool will assist young children, their families, and the entire parish community in exploring the meaning of the Eucharist, and to serve others with the love of Christ.

In pursuit of this mission, the preschool will:

1. Partner with parents in the education and development of their children.
2. Help children express their relationship with God in developmentally appropriate ways.
3. Reinforce Catholic Christian values taught at home.
4. Create an environment of hospitality where faith and its values are molded.

Our Lady of Joy Roman Catholic School is a Community Which Believes in:

• Every child’s unique talents and abilities
• Always following our Lord, Jesus Christ
• Growing spiritually, academically, and socially
• Learning as a life-long process
• Engaging and welcoming environment
• Service to One Another
