Director's Comments

Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?


I'd like to thank you for your interest in Our Lady of Good Counsel School's Early Childhood Center. We are very proud of our school and its programs. Our certificed teachers will provide a secure and loving learning environment for your little ones. You will find very little teacher turnover here, and your child will be able to develop a long-lasting relationship with his or her teachers.
We are dedicated to teaching Christian values, as well as academics, social skills and physical fitness. We believe that showing love and respect for one another is most important, and we welcome families from all religious affiliations and cultures.
We have a very clean and well-maintained facility, as well as an enclosed playground with a safe, rubber surface and brand-new play equipment. Your child's safety and security is our top priority.
Again, thank you for your interest in sending your child to join our family here at Our Lady of Good Counsel. Feel free to visit our school website, www.olgcnj.org, for photos and stories about our students. If you have any questions, or would like to arrange for an interview, please give me a call or send me an email.
Sincerely,
Sister Rosemarie

Parents' Comments

Parent #1

Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
