Mission Statement
Good Shepherd Lutheran Child Development Center exists to share the Gospel of our lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our mission has always been a simple but vital one: To proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world as commissioned by Christ, our Lord (Matthew 28:19-21). In order that we may be enabled and equipped to share the glorious message of salvation and the love of God in the world, we feed on God's Word and Sacrament. As we do, we forgive, nourish, love and support one another.
To that purpose, we are committed to meeting the needs of all students as they grow spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, physically and artistically, Students are given the opportunity to learn from dedicated professionals, in an environment characterized by Christian love, positive reinforcement and professional excellence. We encourage and assist students to work to their potential, to demonstrate responsible behavior, and to live according to God's will.

Affiliation
Good Shepherd Lutheran Child Development Center is sponsored by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church; a non-profit corporation of the State of California. Our Child Development Center is governed by the Voter’s Assembly and the Church Council; through the School Board. Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool is affiliated with the Pacific Southwest District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod and the Board of Parish Services of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We are members of the Region IV Lutheran Education Association, the Lutheran Educators’ Conference of the Pacific Southwest District. Our Child Development Center does not exist in opposition to the local public preschools/Child Development Centers, whose work we greatly respect, but rather for the purpose of offering a Christian education and environment that the public school, by its very nature, is unable to offer.
