About The Learning Center at Our Lady of Grace

Welcome to The Learning Center at Our Lady of Grace, a new chapter in the storied legacy of the beloved Sisters, The Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

For over six decades, the devoted Sisters have been the heart and soul behind Our Lady of Grace Preschool and Kindergarten, providing a nurturing and faith-filled environment where young minds flourish. With the establishment of The Learning Center, we are thrilled to extend this mission to a broader community, offering enriching educational experiences for children and adults.


The Learning Center is located in the beautiful, newly acquired St. Joseph House adjacent to the main campus.

 

Our Vision

Our vision for The Learning Center at Our Lady of Grace is to create an inspiring environment where every learner can explore their full potential and develop a lifelong love of learning. Grounded in the values of our Catholic faith, we aim to cultivate a sense of community, compassion, and respect for all. We believe that education is not just about academic achievement but also about nurturing the whole person—mind, body, spirit and heart.

 

We provide the following immersive and experiential learning programs at the Learning Center at Our Lady of Grace:

 

Programs for Young Learners

Language Classes: Starting in Spring 2025, we are excited to offer introductory language classes in Italian, Spanish, and Japanese for lower elementary students. These classes are designed to ignite a passion for language learning through fun, interactive, and engaging activities. Our small class sizes ensure that each child receives personalized attention, enabling them to thrive and build a strong foundation in these beautiful languages.

 

Arts & Crafts Classes: In the spring, we will expand our program to include arts classes for children. These classes will encourage creativity, self-expression, and artistic exploration through various mediums such as painting, drawing, and crafting. Our supportive environment helps young artists develop their skills and confidence while enjoying the creative process. By fostering a love for the arts, we aim to inspire children to see the world through a creative lens.

 

Handwriting and Penmanship Classes: Also beginning in the spring, we will introduce handwriting and penmanship classes focused on helping children develop essential writing skills.  Handwriting provides numerous brain development benefits for children!  With an emphasis on proper technique and the joy of written communication, these classes will foster a lifelong appreciation for the art of handwriting. In an era dominated by digital communication, we believe that the ability to write beautifully and legibly is an invaluable skill.

 

Programs for Adults

Looking ahead, we have exciting plans to extend our offerings to include:

 

Adult Language Classes: Providing opportunities for adults to learn new languages or enhance their existing skills. Whether for personal enrichment, travel, or professional advancement, our language classes will cater to a range of interests and proficiency levels. We believe that language learning is a lifelong journey that enriches the mind and broadens cultural understanding.

 

Adult Art Classes: Encouraging creativity and self-expression through a variety of art forms. These classes will offer a welcoming space for adults to explore their artistic side, develop new skills, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of art. Whether you are a seasoned artist or a beginner, our classes will provide a supportive environment for artistic growth.

 

Educational Tutoring and Test Preparation

Coming soon to The Learning Center at Our Lady of Grace, our Educational Tutoring and Test Preparation program will provide personalized support tailored to meet each student's unique learning needs. This program will focus on:

 

Individualized Tutoring: Customized sessions to strengthen skills in reading, writing, math, and more, ensuring students build confidence and understanding.

 

Comprehensive Test Preparation: Specialized support for standardized tests and college entrance exams, including targeted review sessions and test-taking strategies.

 

Engaging Learning Environment: A warm and inviting atmosphere where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.
