Nurturing Young Minds at Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center

At Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center, we're committed to providing exceptional early childhood learning experiences that shape the future of our little ones. Since 1989, our non-profit Early Learning Center has been a cornerstone of the Golden Valley community, offering a unique blend of Christian nurture, support, and education. We believe in fostering an environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive while developing a strong sense of self and faith. We participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and maintain adequate staff to child ratios to ensure proper care (Infants 1:4, Toddlers 1:7, Preschool 1:10 and School Age 1:15).

Our approach to early childhood education is rooted in the belief that every child is a precious gift from God, deserving of respect and individualized attention. We've crafted a curriculum that seamlessly integrates prayer, worship, Bible stories, and service to others, ensuring a well-rounded spiritual and educational experience. With over 35 years of experience, we've perfected the art of balancing fun, learning, and spiritual growth in a safe, secure, and age-appropriate setting. Ready to give your child the best start in life? Contact us today.
