  • Our son has attended OLOJ for two years and I can’t say enough great things about this preschool. The teachers and staff care deeply about each student and do a fantastic job of preparing them for kindergarten. The director even came out to support some of our kids at their teeball games this spring because that’s how much she enjoys being around them. We will miss them immensely once our children age out of their school.

  • I have nothing but great things to say about Our Lady of Joy preschool!! Our son has been going here for the last 2 years and absolutely loves it! He looks forward to going to school every day! The staff and community are amazing. We have never had any issues the whole time we’ve been here. Our son has learned SO much and thrives in his education! We are sad they aren’t a grade school but we can’t wait until it’s time for our youngest to attend :)

  • Such an amazing blessing of a school for my children. They absolutely adore the teachers and I have seen so much growth in them. I feel at ease leaving them with loving, caring staff. Every teacher and staff makes our family to feel welcomed and loved. There is no other school I would trust my preschoolers with. Keep up the fantastic work OLOJ Preschool!

  • Our Lady of Joy Preschool has truly been a blessing to our family! This is our second time through OLOJ preschool. Our younger daughter and now our nephew have joined. We couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. The teachers pour so much love, faith, and joy into everything they do, creating a warm and nurturing environment where kids feel seen, cherished, and inspired to learn. The connections they build, the values they instill, and the way they weave faith into everyday learning is absolutely exceptional. It’s more than just a preschool, it’s a community.Truly top-tier! We are so grateful our children get to start their educational journey here!

  • To Black families considering this school: please be aware of my experience. I do not recommend this school if you’re looking for a supportive and structured environment for your child. In my view, the administration shows signs of prejudice and racial profiling. Veronica and Mrs Julie kicked my son out after 4 days in school over minimal behavior which I was told by Mrs Julie they are there to help.. just be aware my people.

  • Our family loves OLOJ preschool. My son has just blossomed since starting there last March. I like that in addition to learning academic subjects that he has also learned about our faith. I feel very comfortable leaving him there as I know he is very well cared for by the teachers and staff. We drive 30 minutes one way to get him there but it is well worth it. I wouldn’t have him go anywhere else for preschool or pre-k after having experienced OLOJ. I highly recommend it.
