  • I have only wonderful things to say about little shepherd preschool! The teachers are outstanding! I had 2 of my daughters attend little shepherd for 6 years. We became a family. My girls loved going to preschool . I love how they have summer class options and stem class options aswell. They had family gatherings to bring everyone together. My daughters are doing so well in elementary school and feel it has alot to do with their experience at little Shepherd!!!

  • LSP was a great experience for my son. The small classroom size was just what we were looking for and he was able to focus and immerse himself in the lessons which include; jolly phonics, math, science, gross motor skills, opportunities for hands-on learning as well as a light touch of religious education. The teachers and TA’s add even more value, they’re like the cherry on top! Thank you LSP

  • We sent both of our daughters to Little Shepherd and are so thankful we did! We really love that LSP uses the same phonics program as 308. When our oldest daughter got to kindergarten, she was hearing the information for the third time. This made our transition to reading and writing flawless. Her kindergarten teacher even asked where she went to preschool at conferences because she was so impressed! We also really loved the small class sizes! We know all of the other families very well and have formed some life long friendships! The teachers and assistants are so great. We were so pleased with our experience and highly recommend them!

  • Little Shepherd preschool was an amazing experience for our daughter for two years. After being unsuccessful at a previous preschool in the area who did not understand the needs of small children, especially children with diverse needs, Little Shepherd Preschool exceeded all of my expectations and provided compassionate and knowledgeable teaching expertise. They were understanding to children with diverse needs like my daughter with ADHD & sensory seeking behavior and displayed a great passion for teaching & parent communication! We are sad we have no more children to send. If you are seeking SMALL class sizes with individualized attention, a robust curriculum, and teachers who treat your children like their own children/grandchildren then choose LSP!
