Our Philosophy
​Good Shepherd Preschool is a ministry of Good Shepherd United Methodist Church for the benefit of the community.

Our goal is to provide a Christian environment that is loving, caring, forgiving, and accepting. In doing so, we help the children to grow in their attitudes about him/herself, others, and the world; in independence, self-discipline, spirituality, and responsibility. Our staff will strive to encourage each child in his/her social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cognitive development. 

Through a variety of age-appropriate activities, teachers will help children grow in the skills of thinking, listening, communication, and small and large motor skills. All activities will attribute to each child's social/emotional growth through encouragement, cooperation, experience, and enjoyment. 

Good Shepherd Preschool Goals 
Our goals are to strive to help children as they learn to live outside the home; through sharing, group play, and development of peer relations. We achieve these goals in a Christian atmosphere of love, forgiveness, and acceptance. We support the children's growth in the areas of:

• Their attitude about self, others, and their world

• Independence, self-discipline, and responsibility

• Learning to listen, comprehend and think for themselves

• Developing their ability to communicate with others in a meaningful way

• Trying new perceptual-motor skills and practicing them

• Building positive relationships
