For over 20 years, Tender Shepherd Preschool has served children and families in the South Hills of Pittsburgh with a simple vision: to provide children with a well-rounded, Christ-centered early education experience in a loving environment. As the area’s top-ranking preschool, Tender Shepherd continues to grow and flourish. The Bible Chapel Robinson Campus is also home to Tender Shepherd Preschool for the second consecutive year.

Faith is the cornerstone of everything that happens at Tender Shepherd Preschool. Each unit of study includes Bible stories and verses to help children develop firm foundations in their faith and learn valuable life lessons. Since the beginning, a key scripture that has remained at the heart of Tender Shepherd Preschool’s vision is Matthew 19:14, where Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus knew that children are the future of the church and the community. He also understood the importance of investing in them.

At Tender Shepherd Preschool, students learn from an all-encompassing, developmentally appropriate curriculum that helps develop social, academic, physical, cognitive and spiritual growth. Our hands-on STEM learning, Spanish and sign language classes further enrich our program. At TSP, children not only build a firm educational foundation that prepares them for kindergarten, but they also make friends and learn the art of foundational social skills like sharing, cooperation, helping each other, taking turns, and even forgiving one another when conflict resolution is needed. They also engage in fun, creative play that covers everything from finger painting to imaginative dress-up in classrooms, which are full of fun learning centers where children have the opportunity to create and explore through many hands- on experiences.   

Tender Shepherd Preschool teachers possess education degrees and teaching experience to ensure that students receive the best possible education. The preschool promotes excellent teacher/child ratios to also ensure students receive the attention they deserve. Along with their classroom lessons, students participate in a number of special events throughout the year, including Thanksgiving, a Christmas Pageant, Pajama Day/Breakfast at School, Dad’s Day, Mother’s Day Tea, Field Trips, Missions Projects and many more.

The teaching staff will be welcoming incoming three-five-year-olds on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:15 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. (morning session) and 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (afternoon session).
