Hello, Parents!
Welcome to the Parent Portal. At Tender Shepherd Preschool, we believe that parents are a child’s first and most influential teachers, entrusted by God with the sacred calling of raising them in His ways.
At Tender Shepherd Preschool, our desire is not only to teach and nurture your little ones but also to walk alongside you as their parents, to encourage, equip, and help disciple your children. In this portal, you will find resources to strengthen your family in Parenting, Marriage, Faith and Discipleship, as well as Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness.
We pray that these tools will bless your home, point your family to Christ, and remind you that you are not alone in this journey!
