Description: Our Lady Star of the Sea School, established in 1933, is a member of the Archdiocese of Washington and is a fully accredited private Catholic School for Pre-K through 8th grade. Our mission is carried out in a Catholic atmosphere, which promotes the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical development of each child.
Our small class sizes enable us to deal with our students as individuals and work to meet their needs. By teaching morals and values, we develop a sense of personal responsibility and encourage leadership skills, which will make our students responsible adults. Students in the higher grades participate in a number of roles that support the school and mentor younger students, and help teach them the importance of responsibility and helping others. We believe that through a solid Catholic education, which incorporates instruction, discipline, responsibility, respect, and Christian example, our students will have a strong foundation on which to build their lives.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

| Findings: When LS arrived at the center and began testing water temperature, the water was only registering about 70 degrees F and was not even warm. Pre-K Director contacted the school maintenance person, who came to the center immediately. It was found to be an issue with the breaker and a timer battery; both of which were fixed during inspection. LS checked water temperature again at all four sinks and the water temperature had come up to close to 100 degrees F. This is corrected. | |||

LS did observe PreK Director to clean and sanitize the nap mats immediately after rest time. Please send written correction to LS. | |||
