All are welcome to apply to attend Good Shepherd Preschool! Provided we have space and fit your child’s educational needs, anyone is welcome to attend Good Shepherd regardless of race, sex, or religion.

Good Shepherd Preschool reviews all applications on a first come, first serve basis. Returning families & Good Shepherd church members are given priority on placement in our program. Acceptance letters are emailed to parents by mid-February (or later based on your application date).

After you’ve received an acceptance letter, you must confirm or decline your child’s placement by the deadline in your letter to reserve your spot.

Applications are reviewed and students are accepted based on the needs of the child and Good Shepherd’s program. If you have further questions, reach out to us at preschool@goodshepherd.com.

Once you have confirmed, the first tuition payment will be processed immediately and is non-refundable. This will be your September payment. Tuition payments are processed on the first Monday of each month thereafter. The last tuition payment is processed in April.

Application fees and tuition payments are done through debit/credit card or automatic checking withdrawal. A completed Tuition Express Form is required to be submitted with your application.

Contact Michele (Director) or Lorie (Asst Director) with any additional questions. You can email at preschool@goodshepherd.com, call at (513) 891-1733, or fill out our online contact form.
