About the First Good Shepherd Preschool We believe... Every child is a unique creation of our heavenly Father with an individual pattern and timing of growth, as well as individual personality, learning style and family background. Every child is in need of developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, knowing Him as Lord and Savior. Children acquire knowledge about their physical and social settings through playful, hands-on interaction with their environment. Teachers of young children are guides or facilitators responsible for preparing an environment that will provide stimulation, challenging materials, and activities for their students to explore. Therefore... First Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool shall endeavor to provide a safe, loving, nurturing, and spiritually motivating environment, encouraging whole child growth and development while responding to the needs of families. Each child will be exposed to a wide variety of learning experiences, encouraged to explore his/her environment, and participate in activities in which he/she will experience success. Although specific learning experiences will be planned for each day, the atmosphere will not be so highly structured as to prevent the use of incidental learning situations to their fullest extent. An integral part of our ministry is to respond to your family needs and provide you with spiritual and emotional support. We will strive to create opportunities for families to come together in fellowship, and to encourage you in your role as a Christian parent.   Form more information, please email the preschool secretary.
