Little Earth Shepherds Preschool

My son loved his time at LES and still to this day talks about his friends and teachers (5 years ago!) He went into kindergarten with a great attitude about school and thrived in class due to the content and structure he had at LES. We are so excited for our younger son to attend LES this fall!
