Welcome to the world of the Good Shepherd. Children who are 3 years old in September through Kindergarten age experience the unconditional love of God through an internationally known program, “Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.” All of our teachers, called catechists, are trained in this Montessori based program. Children are given the tools of language and environment within which to experience and explore the unconditional love of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. This rich program draws on scripture, liturgy and learning in age appropriate lessons.
Children are welcome at the Family Sing at 9:30 a.m. or may meet their classmates in the Atrium room at 9:45 a.m. Their work continues through the first part of the church service, after which they are brought to their parents in church for the Eucharist.
