A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of The Good Shepherd Preschool will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 26, at 11 a.m. at Highway Assembly of God, 2221 Jefferson Davis Hwy., Fredericksburg, Va. 22401.
The ceremony is open to the public, and will be followed by a reception and tour of the preschool facility. Enrollment information will be available for families considering a preschool for the 2020-2021 school year.
Operated as a faith-based educational ministry of Highway Assembly of God, The Good Shepherd Preschool opens in August 2020 with the goal to offer a strong academic program that integrates Christian character and biblical truths into every area of learning.
The preschool will be housed in a spacious educational building that features several classrooms, a fellowship hall/multipurpose area and a gymnasium. Outdoor recreational areas include a large sports field and fenced playground.
“Our objective is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to develop foundational learning skills,” emphasizes preschool director Gary Wagner. “Our teaching staff will use a carefully designed curriculum enriched by music and physical education, arts and crafts, dramatic and creative play, and field trips, for example, to support all dimensions of child development.”
Wagner adds, “We will be intentional in training children to grow academically, to be spiritually prepared for Christian service, and to develop a lifelong Christian worldview, while having a lot of fun.”
The Good Shepherd Preschool offers both three-day-a-week and five-day-a-week programs for both 3-year-old and 4-year-old children. All classes meet from 9 a.m. to 12 noon and will be supervised by experienced lead teachers assisted by classroom aides.
Additional services offered by the preschool include before school care from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., extended care from 12 noon to 3 p.m., and after-school care from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
