About Little Shepherd’s Learning Center

The younger years in a child’s life are some of the most vital. You want to provide your son or daughter with a foundational education that allows him or her to succeed in their elementary years. Little Shepherds Learning Center offers that and more, because an education is not only about schooling.

At LSLC we are dedicated to providing children with a loving and nurturing environment that fosters developmental growth. Our duty is to establish the foundation from which children will base their coming years of educational schooling. And in equal measure, we teach children that God loves them, Christ died for their sins and they can one day be with Him in Heaven.

Little Shepherd’s Learning Center is a nonprofit organization that offers half, partial, and full day programs for children three months through five years old. We provide a safe and caring atmosphere that encourages and develops children mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

LSLC is a safe and nurturing environment that fosters hands-on, developmental learning and an understanding of God and the Bible.
