Good Shepherd has taken excellent care of our three children from age 8 weeks through 5 years old. Teachers are beyond caring, communicate often, and lead clean, cheerful classrooms. Our kids enjoy weekly children’s chapel, music, and karate classes in addition to developmentally appropriate play in every stage. They love the provided meals and have made tremendous growth with their wonderful teachers - reading sight words, writing their names, and counting to 100 before they left for kindergarten.

The Good Shepherd Day School has been respected for its professional service to families of infants and preschool children for decades. It brings me such pleasure to see my own grandchild there now because I know he is being cared by the very best providers. If you're local, you know. If you're new to the area, this is your place!

We were very pleased with the care our child received at GSDS. Caregivers are knowledgeable, kind, and devoted to a positive learning environment for the children. I felt informed and heard as a parent and enjoyed the many holiday events that the school arranged to involve parents in celebrations.

I cannot say enough great things about good shepherd day school! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and assured that our child was in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. The staff is incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated to each child’s well-being and development. The daily activities are engaging and educational, and aids in our child's social skills through play. We’ve noticed such an positive growth in our son! The staff keeps us informed with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciate. It gives us peace of mind knowing our child is in such good hands and Mrs. Ann is the absolute best!

Our boys (3 & 1) have been at Good Shepherd Day school since they were 12 weeks old. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at GSDS - they are truly a part of our family. Our boys are learning so much - from sign language to cleaning up after themselves after meals. They were taught to hold their own bottles at 4 months and were sitting at a table to eat around 9 months. The teachers have been so supportive and encouraging on a daily basis, both for me and my babies. I would highly suggest scheduling a tour to see what an amazing daycare this is!
