We came from an other day care in the care & the difference in care and communication is so refreshing. The teachers welcome you with open arms and are always willing to be open and honest about your child & their daily activities. My son has flourished in his class in less than a year being enrolled. I wouldn't recommend any other center in the area.

My children have been going to Good Shepard for a while now and I have to say that Joel and his staff are AMAZING!!!!!!! They treat my children as if they were their own. I wouldn't take them anywhere else. I recommend Good Shepard School and Day Care to all my family and friends.

our children (now 3.5 and 2) have both been at good shepherd in wboro since they were 12 weeks old. we could not be happier with the care they have received including loving staff and structured classrooms, two things most important to us. the school listens, provides extra care when needed and is there for our children full-time so we can work. we have formed so many lasting relationships during our time here and just cannot imagine them going anywhere else. would give them ten stars if I could. side note: our children are very advanced in their learnings and a big part of that is from good shepherd.

My daughter has been here almost a year now and it’s been wonderful. She’s actually disappointed when she doesn’t get to go to “school”—the staff knows and loves her, and there’s low turnover. I feel at ease with her here; they’re doing a great job.
