Description: Shepherd Preschool, located at 331 S. Lake Powel Blvd., is an early childhood education service project of Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran Church. The Preschool, founded in 1984, provides a secular and Christian early socialization and learning experience for children between the ages of three and five. The Preschool is a stand-alone 501(C)(3) nonprofit.
Classes are held year-round, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and follow the Page Unified School District calendar during the regular school year, observing all public school holidays and in-service days. Shepherd Preschool also offers a modified summer learning experience, June and July.
Any child who has reached his/her third or fourth birthday by September 1 of the year of enrollment is welcomed. Children must be completely toilet trained. Classes are limited to 24 students, or fewer. Parents or guardians must complete required forms, provided by the Preschool, prior to school attendance. A fee schedule also is available from the Preschool, and Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran Church members’ children receive a fee discount. A $25 non-refundable registration fee is charged at the time of registration.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
