Help Good Shepherd Preschool Help the Families and Children of Tehachapi

This is an open letter written to the community of Tehachapi from Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool.

As you are aware this community needs affordable childcare, education, and especially infant care. Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool is proud to have been the only center in the area over much of the past thirty years that has been able to provide infant care, and this is a service we feel driven to provide priced below cost to the families of this community.

Times are tough, budgets are thin, and we are impacted like everyone else.  We want to keep prices as affordable as possible for the those we serve today and into the future.  

Please consider Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool as part of your end of year giving for a tax deductible donation.  All proceeds go to covering preschool operating costs.  Click on the donate button below to be taken directly to our portal, you’re also welcome to stop by the front office with a handwritten check if that’s your preference.

Below is a repost of the original article from Tehachapi News which you can find HERE.

A Tehachapi preschool voluntarily enrolled in a study with the University of California, Los Angeles, according to a school news release.

The Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Preschool of Tehachapi enrolled in the course Program for Infant/Toddler Care through the Kern Early Stars Program. PITC is a responsive, relationship-based approach to infant and toddler care, built on sound developmental research, theory and practice, the news release said.

The study will be conducted on behalf of the California Department of Education to better understand the effectiveness of the PITC professional development.

Recently, the GSLC Preschool received recognition in providing quality care that goes above and beyond licensing standards, according to the news release.
