About CDC

Our MISSION at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School is to fulfill the educational ministry of the Catholic Church in our community. The school exists to provide quality education and Christian formation of the whole person by encouraging development of each student’s talents in the service of God and others.

Our PHILOSOPHY here at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic School is an extension of the family. Parents are the primary educators of their children. We assist parents in fulfulling their responsibilities and partner with them in the education of the whole child –spiritual, moral, intellectual, physical, and emotional.

Pre-School/PreKindergarten

The Pre-School/Pre-Kindergarten program seeks to promote the maximum development of each child. It equally seeks to promote the child’s religious development, intellectual development, perceptual and motor development, and language development. We encourage an atmosphere where children can enter in free, creative play in small interest groups with a minimum amount of direction. We seek to give a child the chance to grow and develop as an individual, at his/her own rate of speed, by providing him/her with creative experiences and group activities with other children of his/her own age.

Extended Day Program

The Extended Day Program is for children enrolled in OLPH School . Care is available in the mornings before school and after school at dismissal time. We provide a well balanced program with age-appropriate activices, materials and equipment. The Extended Day Programs strives to provide a secure atmosphere for children when school is out and parents are not available to care for them.

Summer Program

The Summer Program is open to all children ages 3-13. Activities include: swimming, field trips, daily projects, theme days, and free play. To ensure that your child is enrolled in the Summer Program, please register by Mid-April.
