OUR GOALS

The Shepherd Preschool program, licensed by the State of Arizona and the Arizona Department of Health Services (CDC-1433), is a proud participant in the Arizona Quality First project. The secular and Christian education program encompasses all areas of childhood development, including coordination and muscle activity, social interaction, Biblical teachings, music, art, community service and science through a variety of activities. Our goals are to:

1. involve the child in activities that increase overall communication, creativity and knowledge that promote discovery;
2. help and encourage the child to grow in positive self-awareness;
3. supply basic religious knowledge about God and His world;
4. provide an environment in which the child can develop social relationships with other children;
5. develop physical and motor skills; and
6. introduce the child to basic knowledge and numbers.
