HELLO, PRESCHOOL!
Your child's next BIG step is here!
At Seven Sorrows, we believe that play is the work of early childhood. Located in Middletown/Hershey/Elizabethtown area, we provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where your child can discover, create, and grow.
Our dedicated educators focus on building social skills, emotional resilience, and a lifelong love of learning through hands-on exploration!
Children learn as they play. Most importantly...in play, children learn how to learn.

Snacks & Lunch
Snacks and lunch are a natural part of your child's day, with timing and routines varying by classroom and full- or half - day enrollment. Families provide lunch, and snack details differ by class. We'll be sure you feel fully prepared before the school year starts - your teacher will share everything you need to know at Back-to-School night.
Our Play Lab
Explore. Play. Imagine.
As our elementary outdoor Nature Lab does, the Play Lab shifts Early Childhood Education from a primarily indoor, teacher-initiated model to one that embraces outdoor, child-initiated play as critical to children's well-being. By moving children and their activities outdoors, the character of what they do is transformed.
Across all seasons - fall, winter and spring - and in all types of weather, from sunshine to snow, our students engage in outdoor play that supports curiosity, movement and learning.
Testimonials
As a parent, a Catholic-based education that reinforces the values taught at home is of the utmost importance to our family. It has been beautiful to watch my daughter not only grow in her understanding and love of her faith, but also thrive academically. For the past two years, she has eagerly looked forward to returning to preschool and has loved every teacher she has had along the way. I am incredibly grateful for the positive impact Seven Sorrows has had on her life, and I look forward with excitement to the next several years as part of the Seven Sorrows community.”

Graduating Preschool Parent
Our children are seen. Our preschool teacher values our son as he is, without judgment. He knows he is loved when he demonstrates great achievements in the classroom; and that he is equally loved when he refuses to put on his rain boots. This unconditional acceptance from the staff makes our children comfortable and confident in school, and eager to grace others with the kindness that they are shown at SSBVM.

The teacher was phenomenal.Our life would have been very difficult without the positive influence gained from the PreK and kindergarten program at SSBVM! The teacher was phenomenal; she was exactly what we needed! I believe the gentle but firm guidance she gave him, both academically and emotionally, is the foundation for his success in school."
