SHPC PRESCHOOL

Welcome To Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Preschool

A Safe Happy Place for Children

Shepherd of the Hills Presbyterian Church Preschool, established in 1987, provides a nurturing Christian environment for children 12 months through pre-k. Our goal is to help children grow spiritually, socially, academically, physically, emotionally and cognitively. We offer age-appropriate curriculum, chapel and music and movement. We strive to provide part-time, affordable and safe childcare.

Donate to the Love My Preschool Fundraiser!

Shepherd of the Hills Preschool is a special place where all the teachers know every student’s name, provide early education that sets them up for a lifetime of learning, and help them play and explore in a safe environment.

Tuition alone cannot cover the cost of improvements. As a nonprofit, every tuition dollar goes directly toward staff salaries, classroom supplies, equipment, utilities, and custodial services. We work hard to maintain the lowest staff-to-child ratios in the area while having affordable tuition.

Generous donations in the spring of 2024 allowed us to pay for important building upkeep, including a necessary repair to our tile floors and install of a shade tree on the playground. We can continue to provide a comfortable, safe, and positive learning environment for our students and teachers thanks to these purchases. This year, we aim to raise $5,000 to pay for a significant improvement to our playground. Our Love My Preschool fundraiser runs the whole month of February. Can you make a monetary gift to support our efforts? No matter how much you’re able to give, your generosity matters.

"There is no way to enumerate all the different ways that SHPC has loved my child and therefore, me. They are too many to list. In the three years that we have been at the school, their love and selfless sacrifice has been as constant as the sunrise. The teachers are amazing. They love their job and it shows in how they cheerfully greet each student every morning."

"Shepherd of the Hills Preschool has the most wonderful community of any preschool I have experienced as a mom of three. The teachers are very warm and supportive, and they go above and beyond for their students—it’s clear that they each love what they do. The office staff ensures that everything runs smoothly, and the communication with the parents is excellent. I recommend SHPC to everyone I can!"

"I have had three children go through the SHPC Preschool program and it has been the best gift to our family. Our children had the best beginning to their school career possible. The teachers are loving and nurturing, student to teacher ratios are the best around and the activities, learning and fun that takes place is outstanding."

“SHPC Preschool is one-of-a-kind— the student-teacher ratio is amazingly low, the teachers are warm and invested, and the parent collective is strong and caring. I have had three children enjoy their first school experiences here and I’m about to enroll my fourth. The Director goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each individual child/family and together with the teachers, she’s built a real sense of community. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this team."

"We will FOREVER cherish the time our boys spent in preschool at SHPC.  The incredibly caring staff embraced them and created an environment for them to learn, grow, and express their creativity in their own unique ways.  We are truly grateful for SHPC preschool’s dedicated staff whom radiated warmth and genuine care.  Their smiles were contagious and their patience seemed boundless.  The commitment to nurturing both their minds and hearts was evident as my boys thrived while attending.  They left SHPC with a foundation of learning, love, kindness and a connection to Christ. Our time at SHPC preschool will forever be etched in our hearts."
