Our Mission

Our Shepherd is more than a childcare. It’s more than a preschool. It’s more than family ministry center. It’s community dedicated to one calling: connecting families and children to our Shepherd.

One of Jesus’ favorite was to describe himself was as a shepherd, and that image reflects his heart for us and our children. Jesus loves all people, no matter where they come from, and he wants to protect them, to nurture them, and to guide them. At Our Shepherd, we know that when we are close to the Shepherd, we have a love and safety that is foundational to grow.

So, in addition to being the very best childcare we can be by maintaining a Youngstar 5-star rating, providing continuing education for our staff, and keeping our facilities and classrooms state-of-the art, we keep our Shepherd in all we do so that we can give the best to our students and families.

There’s only one person who loves your child as much as you do, Jesus. And we want to surround our children and families with his love.

I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep… and I lay down my life for the sheep.
— John 10:14-15 NIV
