My biggest concern is that this is supposed to be a Christian school, but prayer is not a part of their every day practice. Lots of employees have actively confessed to not being Christian. In the last months, I have seen three kids being picked up by their arms aggressively and sat on the floor hard. I have also witnessed in several occasions where kids even as young as 1 years old, being yelled. My son came home one day with a big gash in his head and the teachers had no clue what had happened. Eventually it was found on tape, but I never saw the tape, so I am not sure if that's what happened or not. I hate leaving such a bad review, but people need to know that this day care is not a safe place for small children. The good part about the daycare is that Ms. Debra worked with me and helped me afford the daycare prices with scholarships. I will be forever grateful for that. I wish everyone the best, but I need to trust the people that are watching my kid. Unfortunately, this is not the place.

I have been sending my kids here for one year. I have tried multiple places in the valley and this is the first school my kids love. I trust the teachers and the leadership. My kids get excited to go to school. The staff takes time to get to know all of the kids not just the kids in their classroom. They do fun art projects and music activities which my sons love. I appreciate the care and attention they give to their curriculum and their students.

Thank you so much Ms. Debra and Ms. Donna for all your hard work in finding so many fabulous teachers that care for my little darling all day. The ladies are so kind and knowledgeable regarding how best to help my child as I work. The teachers treat her with respect, speak so kindly to her, and are always making sure her needs are met. My husband and I could not be happier about the care our child is receiving at the Good Shephard. Bravo ladies and may God bless you for all the great things you have done.
