All About Us
In 1979, the members of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church opened a preschool for 3, 4, and 5 year olds. From 1979-2021, thousands of local children enjoyed playing together, learning together, and growing together in a Christian environment. Due to COVID-19, the preschool closed but has now reopened our doors to community children with Tanya Johnson as teacher and director.
Our morning program runs from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. and serves children who are 3, 4, or 5 years old and not eligible for full-time 5K. 2 Day program (Tuesday/Thursday) is $120/month. 3 Day program (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday) is $180/month. 4 day program (Monday-Thursday) is $240/month.
