Mission Statement

Heart of Jesus Preschool isn’t just another private preschool — it’s a calling. At HoJ, leadership and teaching come together as one unified mission. HoJ is fully owned, operated, and led by me, Irene Ortega — someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes this mission for Jesus daily. I’m not just an administrator — I’m present, invested, and actively involved in every part of what each child experiences here. The foundation of our program — and the very reason we exist — is Jesus.

I’ve been in early childhood education since 2007, bringing nearly two decades of experience to the classroom—including 10 years owning and operating a high-quality preschool program similar to HoJ. Since 2023, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to lead Heart of Jesus Preschool—a program fully devoted to Jesus and rooted in His truth. With a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership and a strong foundation in child development, I understand how little ones grow, how they learn best, and —most importantly—how to plant God’s Word deep in their hearts while they’re still eagerly developing kindergarten readiness skills.

I personally developed our curriculum to ensure that every subject, story, and theme is grounded in God’s truth. We don’t just sprinkle in Scripture and Jesus - we build everything upon Him. What they receive at HoJ is authentic, Jesus-centered, unwavering, and constant.

At HoJ, nothing gets lost in translation. There is one steward—me—guided by Jesus. That means your child receives a consistent, stable, and intentionally crafted experience, rooted in both excellence and Jesus.

At Heart of Jesus Preschool, your child is surrounded by truth, love, and our joyful mission to building His Kingdom—one little heart at a time.
