The Good Shepherd Preschool

The Good Shepherd Preschool provides a foundation for quality Catholic education through prayer, song and play for our youngest students. We are committed to encouraging spiritual, physical, academic and emotional development of each individual child through discovery-based hands on learning.

As a regional Catholic school, The Good Shepherd program provides the opportunity to bring children and families together as they learn and celebrate our faith. Enrichment programs enhance children's experience at school by allowing them to explore learning with cooking, art and music.

We are extremely fortunate to have the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd each week as the foundation of our faith education. It is special to see the children explore and learn about their faith and be able to connect these experiences to what they see at church.

  • Spiritual: Teach the essentials of our faith utilizing a hands-on approach to religious formation within the classroom and through The Catechesis of The Good Shepherd.

  • Emotional: Aid each child in the development of a strong sense of self respect and emotional well-being towards oneself and others.

  • Cognitive: Encourage hands-on approach to problem solving, and reasoning by providing learning opportunities in religion, reading, mathematics, science, fine arts, and foreign language.

  • Social: Assist in the development of independence, responsibility, and social awareness.

  • Physical: Address health and safety needs of all the children through participation in age appropriate play activities fostering the development of fine and gross motor skills.
