About the Provider
The Sisters, Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts, operate Villa Divino Amore Prechool as an integral part of a Catholic educational program and also as a service to the general community, regardless of race, nationality, sex, or creed.
Villa Divino Amore Preschool and the sister school, Our Lady of Grace Preschool and Kindergarten School, fully comply with the educational regulations of the Diocese of Bridgeport. In addition, both facilities fully meet the legal and operational requirements of a Child Day Care Center of the State of Connecticut and are therefore licensed by the state. Both facilities maintain membership in the Southern Fairfield County Association for the Education of Young Children (SFAEYC), the Child Care Association of Stamford and United Way of Stamford.
In general, our school strives to provide a program and environment that educates the whole person. The program is designed to prepare, in every possible way, children from the ages of 3 to 5 for their years in elementary school. The program is conceived to make young children feel loved, secure, self-confident and to be respectful to others.
The EMBLEM was designed by founder Father F. M. Greco. In the center of the crown of thorns are the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, one transfixed and mounted by a cross, the other pierced by a sword, both of them surrounded by flames.
