Our goal at Shepherd is to nurture children in a loving environment and to provide each child with a positive introduction to formal education in a Christian setting. We believe a positive first school experience is crucial for laying the foundation for all future educational success. Our school serves families with children from age eighteen months through five years old and provides an outstanding educational experience in a Christ-centered, caring community with a comprehensive, creative curriculum. We seek to inspire students to become life-long learners both spiritually and academically! Therefore, we provide an encouraging atmosphere which supports individual growth and development.
In addition, our student/teacher ratios are kept well below state licensing regulations in order to provide the best care and opportunity for our students to succeed both academically and socially, and our hands-on activities and research-based curriculum are tailored to each child’s individual age and development level. We believe that each child is a unique gift of God! Our teachers and staff model God’s love as they teach, support and encourage the little ones who enter our classrooms each day.
