Good Shepherd Preschool is a preschool environment with additional child care opportunities available. This means there is a structured routine that the children, parents, and staff can expect to happen on most days at school. During the morning times there is intentional instruction based on the California Standards for Early Childhood learning. The following schedule will be your child’s normal routine for the day. The teacher will be flexible based on the needs of the children, but will also work very hard to have some consistency in the classroom environment and schedule.
