About Us

Who we are

Shepherd's Flock Preschool is where quality education meets a nurturing environment. 

Children learn by seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, tasting, pouring, pounding, measuring, cutting, gluing, and trying things for themselves. In other words...THEY LEARN BY HAVING FUN! We incorporate all of these activities in our curriculum for loads of fun and learning.
