Child Care

Good Shepherd Child Care Center

At Good Shepherd Children’s Center, we share with the families the responsibility of caring for, educating, guiding and nurturing all the children who enter our doors. The children are under the guidance of qualified, trained personnel. The early years of life are learning years. Keeping this belief in mind, we strive to provide each child with high quality programming that promotes a child’s growth and development. In addition to assisting each child in reaching developmental milestones, we focus on a child’s self-esteem, personal creativity, social interaction and development of self-expression skills. We assist the children in developing cultural and Intergenerational awareness and acceptance. Through our daily programming, we work on all areas of a child’s development. This includes teaching the children about healthy eating habits and the importance of physical activity.

It is the intent of Good Shepherd Children’s Center to create an environment in which a child feels safe and secure. We strive to provide positive programming that will benefit the children, the families and the Community. We encourage families to visit us during normal hours of operation to learn more about our center and staff.

Our Staff meet or exceed State licensing qualifications for child care providers, are CPR, SIDS and Shaken Baby Syndrome certified and are trained in recognition of child abuse and neglect.

Intergenerational Programming

Activities with the residents of Good Shepherd Nursing Home

In today’s fast paced world with electronic communication, we often forget the importance of personal interaction. Who gets lost in our high tech society but the very young and the elderly. A text message or e-mail cannot replace the health benefits that come from a smile and spending quality time together. Across the Country, there is an increasing awareness as to the benefits of combining youth and the elderly in activities and programming. Children learn tolerance and compassion for people with disabilities and the elderly. The elderly feel loved and needed. Studies have shown that intergenerational programming increases the cognitive abilities and health of both generations. An environment that combines both youth and the elderly creates a family-like atmosphere that allows for personal interaction and a sense of caring, trust and sharing of knowledge. Ask your child care or elderly care provider what they do for.

"Our plan was to have my mom care for our son a couple days a week at her home. When she became ill and ended up at Good Shepherd Home, we felt blessed that she was able to spend time with him at the Children's Center. She looked forward to seeing and interacting with him every day. Their time together was priceless." Viki D.
