For the last 28 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 5th 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 lessons are embedded in the units of study to 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.
