Classes

WE OFFER A VARIETY OF CLASSES FOR 2 yrs. 7 months- 5 YEAR OLDS AT GOOD SHEPHERD CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL!  Here at Good Shepherd Lutheran Christian Preschool we:

• Recognize each child as one of God's people.
• Encourage a positive self-image based on God's love for us.
• Provide a warm, caring environment in which children feel secure and can develop a sense of trust and confidence.
• Guide each individual child's spiritual, physical, cognitive and social-emotional development.
• Give children opportunities to learn about Jesus' love for them and all people.

Our purpose at Good Shepherd Lutheran Christian Preschool is to follow the command of our Lord to go and make disciples of all people by offering a weekday preschool program which shall minister to the spiritual, physical, social and emotional, as well as the intellectual needs of young children and their families in the community.  We offer a variety of fun-filled activities in art, music, literature, science, math and physical fitness.  Parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom.
