My son has been here for over 6 months now and they deserve a shout out for the fantastic care they provide. Good Shepherd is amazing and I recommend them to anyone! My son came from a daycare where he screamed at drop off everyday and we had tons of issues. We switched to Good Shepherd and the change in my son was instantaneous. He blossomed so well here! Within two weeks he hardly ever looked back at me during drop off. He was so well cared for and happy to be there. His developmental skills have soared. The staff are so caring and compassionate. I went here as a child back in 1996 and my parents loved it for me then. A generation later and I can say this place is still fantastic and I love the Christian values instilled into the children. This is the only daycare I will ever send any of my kids too!
My daughter has been attending Good Shepherd for several years now. Good Shepherd has been an amazing place for my child to grow and learn. The staff at Good Shepherd has become family. The rapport the staff has built with my child has allowed me to drop her off without worry. The office staff does an outstanding job of always contacting, informing, and communicating with me regarding anything and everything. I feel that my child has grown in all aspects of life. Good Shepherd has done an incredible job of teaching and exposing my child to academics based instruction from an early age. As an educator myself, I feel that my child is in the best program possible for her to be successful.
After moving back to town I was eager to find a daycare to fit my needs and my daughters as well. I was so pleased with the daycare. My daughter was so eager to go back everyday! I drop her off everyday not having to worry about her. I drop her off sometimes as early as 6:45am and the teachers are always happy and always greet me with a smile. I love this place a lot! I couldn’t be happier with my decision in choosing this daycare! When I pick her up she gets sad because she doesn’t want to leave and that’s what you want to hear! My daughter learns so much and is always eager to go back. So I thank you all so much for this continuous support of this daycare. I wouldn’t be able to finish my degree without your help! Without a doubt 5 stars given!
We love the day care. Always attentive, caring, and provide us a call anytime our child has something come up - an illness or simply not acting herself. We've always felt well informed about her wellbeing since day 1, she's always been happy whenever we've shown up throughout the day. Highly recommend.
I am impressed with the care given at Good Shepherd Daycare. The staff is very attentive, caring, and nurturing. I have visited all times of the day and have found the the school to be a welcoming and safe environment for children.
