Good Shepherd Lutheran Playschool is a nonprofit educational service affiliated with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Woodbridge, Virginia since 1973.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Playschool recognizes that children at this age learn best through play. This demonstrates that learning can be fun, which helps to instill a life long appreciation of learning new things.
The goals of the school are to enable the opportunity for each child to continually develop feelings of achievement, accomplishment and independence. Our activities reinforce the academic skills that the children will need in school. These things will help to prepare the children to make a successful adjustment to kindergarten and further their educational and social development.
A child's first day in preschool is the beginning of many years of school experience. What happens on this and succeeding days of the year can positively influence a child's future in school. Preschool makes an important contribution towards the entire education of your child.
Going to school presents children with new experiences. Being away from home and familiar surroundings for several hours a week. Following directions, following different schedules, working and socializing with children their own age, undertaking new activities, using new materials, and preparing for further school experiences. Good Shepherd Lutheran Playschool provides a positive environment to help make the adjustment to future educational experiences.
Each class is taught by an experienced teacher who is carefully chosen for their ability and enjoyment of teaching children. In addition, there is an aide to assist the teachers where needed. All staff members are required to have background checks.
