Our Lady of Perpetual Help Preschool is a Christ centered, play-based and 5-star Step up to Quality rated Preschool. Many of our teaching staff are trained catechists for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and our students participate in CGS weekly. We use many the Creative Curriculum and other studies, based on student interest, to foster a child centered environment. We adhere to the Diocese of Columbus Early Learning Course of Study, which is aligned with the Ohio Department of Education preschool standards. We strive to provide a quality program that invites each child to encounter the love of Jesus and experience a variety of educational concepts through play.
