Tender Shepherd Preschool

“…Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

Together, we want to make your child's first experience in school one that will build character and instill a positive interest in life-long learning.

Your child will love our caring experienced and professionally educated staff. Our "Wee Learn" curriculum is unit based, biblically oriented, and developmentally appropriate for the young child. We value your partnership and encourage parental involvement in the classroom.

Philosophy

We believe children are a gift from God. They are each uniquely designed and develop at an individual rate. Therefore, optimum learning and enrichment take place when children are provided with a developmentally appropriate environment where each is actively involved in a variety of hands-on learning experiences.

As a Christian preschool, we believe in the value of integrating Biblical truths into everyday learning experiences. Therefore, the curriculum includes stories and verses from the Bible with each unit of study.

Goals

  • Physical: To encourage the acquisition of small and large muscle skills.
  • Spiritual: To encourage an understanding of who God is and His love for us through Jesus Christ.
  • Social and Emotional: To support the efforts of separating from home into a group experience and to encourage the understanding of being a friend and making friends.
  • Cognitive: To encourage intellectual development and problem solving skills.
  • Language: To encourage verbal expression of feelings, ideas, and questions through music, conversation, and stories.
  • Self-Help: To encourage the use of personal care and hygiene.
