Nurturing Growth and Faith in School-Aged Children

At Loving Shepherd Early Learning Center, we understand the unique needs of school-aged children and their families. Our child development center in Minneapolis, MN, has been serving the West Metro Twin Cities area since 1989, providing a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and develop their faith.


With over 35 years of experience, our non-profit program is dedicated to offering Christian nurture, support, and education to both parents and children, helping them to know Jesus and share His love with others.

Our approach to early childhood learning is responsive and developmentally appropriate, emphasizing safe and secure age-appropriate learning experiences. We believe that each child is a unique creation of God, deserving of respect and care. Our curriculum integrates prayer, worship, Bible stories, teaching, and service to others, fostering a strong foundation in faith and character. We also understand the importance of financial accessibility, which is why we accept childcare assistance and early childhood scholarships from the state. If you're looking for a child development center that combines quality care with Christian values, we encourage you to contact us to schedule an in-person tour of our facility.
