Our Lady of Grace Preschool and Kindergarten

In October 1948, nine Sisters left Calabria, Italy to begin a new apostolic mission in the United States. They came specifically to Stamford to expand their catechetical work which was namely the formal education and spiritual development of young children.

With God's help, the Sisters eventually established two educational institutions in Stamford - Our Lady of Grace Nursery School and Kindergarten in 1962 and Villa Divino Amore Nursery School in 1989. Both of these facilities have provided a much needed service to the local community that has particularly benefitted the children of working parents. For 55 years, almost 6,000 children have been educated in a loving and nurturing environment.

The Sisters and their schools are a 100% self-funded non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. They do not receive any funding from either the diocese or the government. The school charges a very modest tuition and hosts one large fund raiser each year as their primary means of fundraising.  

Like every non-profit, Our Lady of Grace Preschool and Kindergarten needs the philanthropic support of the people who care about their mission. In order to cover operating costs and to be able to continue to offer vibrant programs and updated facilities, the Sisters rely on gifts from the greater Fairfield County community. The generosity of your gift makes a significant difference in the lives of the children and families they serve, and enables the Sisters to fulfill their mission.

Thank you and God Bless you always!
