Both my daughters attended Good Shepherd Preschool and received an excellent education. The staff was very accommodating for all my families needs. When I needed to drop them off early, or have them stay later than their daily school day, they were always willing to work with me. Both my daughters left the preschool truly ready for kindergarden!
