Family Testimonials

- My husband and I have been blessed to have six of our children attend the Mother’s Day Out Program at Christ the Good Shepherd and are fully convinced that if we have any children in the future, they will also attend. We value the spiritual formation and academic instruction that they have received and have also made lifelong friendships with many of the teachers, staff and families that we have met there. Some of our children’s best friendships were made early in life with their classmates from Mother’s Day Out. Our eldest son, now 14, met his best friend when they were classmates there at the age of 3. The community at the Mother’s Day Out Program has always been there for us with help and support during family illnesses and tragedies. They recently setup a meal train for my brother after a tragic spinal cord injury befell our nephew and have always been accommodating to family difficulties such as our daughter’s selective mutism and our son’s type 1 diabetes. The teachers and staff that we have encountered at the program have always been kind and loving and serve as great role models for our children. I can’t say enough good things about them!
  P.S. It’s hard to keep it short when there are so many wonderful things about this program and its facilitators. Thank you.

- Christ the Good Shepherd preschool has been a complete blessing to our family. Over 8 years ago we were at a loss with our firstborn’s needs for a preschool. We had a general idea of what we wanted him to experience. One of which was to be cared for and taught socialization and early educational skills. What we ended up with, was a gift we could not have imagined. Our children have gained lifelong friends, along with deep relationships with their teachers that still live on past their time spent at the school. The environment that CGS cultivates is so welcoming and full of warmth. We have now been a part of CGS preschool through the development of all of our children. The family we have created at home with loving, enriching, encouraging, God fearing values is the complement of the choice we made to expose our children to the wonders of Christ the Good Shepherd Preschool’s teachers, staff, and community. Thank you to all the staff and teachers that make this program an incredibly important part of these pivotal years for our children. With love and gratitude,

- Our family has had a wonderful experience with the Mother’s Day Out program at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic school. Both of my daughters attended, and the care they received consistently exceeded our expectations. The teachers and substitutes are genuinely caring, affectionate, and attentive, creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. The program is well-organized, nurturing, and rooted in a warm sense of community. It’s clear that the staff truly loves what they do, and that makes all the difference. My daughters always came home happy, confident, and eager to return – which speaks volumes about the quality of the program. I am grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our family, and I highly recommend the Mother’s Day out program to any parent, looking for a loving, faith centered start for their child.

- I absolutely love everything about this program. The teachers make sure that every child that walks through the door knows that they are loved by them and God. I have watched my children grow spiritually and educationally. It is a priceless gift to know that when I drop my children off, they will be loved and nurtured.

- CGS has provided everything our family has searched for in a preschool: a staff of loving and compassionate teachers, a developmentally appropriate curriculum that fosters a love of learning and expands on all of the faith practices we teach at home, and a safe place for our children to play, learn, and grow. All four of our children have thrived at CGS thanks to the dedication and love the staff members have shown them!

- The Early Childhood Program at Christ the Good Shepherd is a home away from home for my son. He looks forward to class and seeing his teachers every day. They have provided a trusting and nurturing environment for the kids. All of the teachers are kind, understanding, and loving. Not only has my son developed social and emotional skills, but he surprises us with his knowledge of God, prayer, and service as well.
