Our Lady of Fatima Preschool and Daycare started in 1990 as an outreach of Our Lady of Fatima Parish. The program was created to feed into Our Lady of Fatima Elementary School, both by fostering new, incoming students, as well as feeding the school monetarily. The facility is also a service to our parish families and the surrounding community as a way to offer quality childcare in a Catholic Christian environment.
We offer a preschool and daycare program for toddler’s (18 months -2years old), Pre-K3, and Pre-K4.
Mission
Our mission is to provide quality education through academic excellence, Catholic principles, and Christian values.
Our preschool provides students with an atmosphere in which they find warmth, comfort, and gentleness as well as an abundance of opportunities for movements, exploration, and self-discovery according to individual needs, interests, and abilities.
Our Lady of Fatima preschool meets all the requirements by the AR Dept. of Human Services to operate a child care center.
Toddlers (18 months – 2 years old)
Our Educators in the Toddler Room are aware of the importance of the complete development of your child. Through play, songs, activities, stories, crafts, exploration, sensory activities, and discovery they ensure your child is developing in their spiritual, social, emotional, communicative, cognitive, and physical capacities. They meet your child on their individual needs with love and understanding.
