Shepherd of The Valley Lutheran Church

Shepherd of the Valley Preschool is a community that respects the individual
qualities of each child. Each student is viewed as a child of God with uniquely
individual developmental needs and abilities. We help each child to grow in faith
and recognize the love and forgiveness revealed through Jesus Christ and the power
of the Holy Spirit. We recognize that parents have the primary responsibility to
educate their children, and we strive to work together in mutual trust and
cooperation to enhance the development of each child. Our nurturing staff works
closely with the family to ensure a smooth transition from home to school.
Our staff is highly trained in early childhood development and sensitive to children’s
needs. It is our goal to provide a developmentally and age-appropriate program
which allows children to learn at their own pace in a safe and healthy setting.
Through structured and unstructured activities and a wide variety of learning
materials, children gain knowledge through exposure and experiences. Children will
be given time to explore their world, empowering them to reach their highest
potential. By asking open ended questions, our staff encourages problem solving
skills and critical thinking. We are committed to helping children grow socially,
emotionally, cognitively, and physically in a warm and caring atmosphere.
SOV is a non-profit, church-related school and does not discriminate on the basis of
race, color, gender, or national or ethnic origin. It is open to children from three to
five years of age.
