About Us

An educational ministry of The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd

Welcome to the Good Shepherd Day School

Good Shepherd Day School is celebrating our 58th year of serving children and families in our community!

We currently have 140 students and 47 staff members, with children ranging in age from 20 months through Kindergarten. Our classrooms utilize the Creative Curriculum as well as Handwriting Without Tears, ensuring developmentally appropriate, research-based learning experiences.

As an educational ministry of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, our mission is to nurture the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually. We strive to offer excellent early childhood education and early Christian formation in a safe, healthy, and joy-filled environment, grounded in the love ethic of Jesus.
