Tender Shepherd Preschool

Tender Shepherd Preschool is CLOSED under further notice.

Welcome to Tender Shepherd Preschool!

In the preschool years, children develop the values, character, and attitude that will take them through school and through life.

At Tender Shepherd Preschool, we give your children the best possible start by nurturing in them a love of learning, a love for others, and above all, a love for Jesus.

Our Curriculum

With our faith-based Wee Learn curriculum, children play creatively and have fun while they learn and develop new skills.

Our Teachers

Our teachers are warm, experienced, and fully screened. Class sizes are small so they can spend time with each child.

Each child is a unique gift from God.

At Tender Shepherd Preschool, we believe that each child is a gift from God, and is designed to develop at his or her own rate. We provide lots of hands-on ways for children to learn and play each day.

Our goal is to help children develop in the following ways:

Physically

Children gain small and large motor skills by playing outside in our brand-new playground, inside in the gym, and throughout our well-equipped classrooms.

Cognitively

Through activities that encourage creativity, imagination, and invention, children become problem solvers who think outside the box.

Spiritually

With Bible lessons integrated into each learning unit, children learn who God is, the blessings he gives us, the promises he keeps, and how we can serve him by serving others.

Emotionally

We help children transition from home into a group environment, and lay a foundation for their security and confidence by teaching them that God loves them unconditionally.

Socially

Through group activities where we listen, share, and work together, children practice being a friend, making friends, and resolving conflicts.

Linguistically

Children learn to express their ideas and questions verbally through stories, music, and conversation. We also encourage a lifelong love of reading through a partnership with our local library.
