About this preschool

Good Shepherd Preschool and Child Care Center is a Christian preschool located in Tehachapi affiliated with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. The program serves infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children with Christ-centered activities emphasizing spiritual, physical, cognitive, and social development.

Philosophy
We believe the young child is a gift from God with the parents being the first and foremost teacher in their lives. Early childhood education is a ministry to the families of young children that provides a parent program designed for support, encouragement, and opportunities that enhance the educational and developmental processes already present in the home. We believe that children need to be allowed time for their childhood. We take care to insure that our preschool enhances these important years of development, providing opportunities to play, learn and grow.
