Come to the Parent orientation for the Early Learning Program at OLP and find information about morning sign in, cornerstone parent portal, classroom curriculum, aftercare, schedule, etc. We understand how difficult it is for preschool children to listen at meetings for long stretches of time - we kindly ask parents to make other arrangements - let's keep school fun!

Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I do, things great or small
Whate'er I speak or frame.
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus' name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.
