Welcome to Shepherd of the Hills

Shepherd of the Hills preschool was founded in the fall of 1985. When we first opened we had one 3 Year-Old and one 4 Year-Old class which gave us a total of 46 children. Both classes had a M-W-F and a T-Th component.

In September of 1986, we added a second 3 year-old classroom, bringing our total number of students to 72. In September 1990, we added an Afternoon 4 Year-Old Program which ran M-T-Th afternoon which brought our total number of students to 87.

In 1992, we added an Afternoon Extended Program which ran until 2:00pm. And, in 1996 the now famous Cherubs Program was put in place, extending our hours from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

In 1996 we expanded our hours even more from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, offering full time care. We did end up closing this program at the end of 2003 due to lack of enrollment, but we were able to add a second MWF pre-k program in September 2004.

2011, the year of our 25th anniversary brought about another exciting change. In place of our 2 nd MWF class we started a 5 day pre-k class to accommodate the growing needs in our community.

2024 will bring another change to our preschool. We will be closing the TTH Pre-k Class, due to the school districts free TK program and we will add another 3 year old TTH class to our program.

The 5-day Pre-K runs Monday-Friday 8:30 -11:30 am. In addition, we offer the MWF Pre-k class, 2 MWF & 3 TTH 3 year old classes and they all run 8:30 -11:30 am. Our Cherubs Program continues to thrive and can extend your child’s day 11:30 am -2:00 pm. The total number of students we have today is 80.

There have been many changes through the years. One aspect of the program that hasn't changed and will remain a constant is that we offer a loving, caring, nurturing, Christian environment in which your child can learn.
