West Hills, CA
Shepherd of the Valley Preschool

We recognize that parents have the primary responsibility to educate their children, and we strive to work together in mutual trust and cooperation to enhance the development of each child. Our nurturing staff works closely with the family to ensure a smooth transition from home to school.

Our staff is highly trained in early childhood development and sensitive to childrenâ??s needs. It is our goal to provide a developmentally and age-appropriate program which allows children to learn at their own pace in a safe and healthy setting. Through structured and unstructured activities and a wide variety of learning materials, children gain knowledge through exposure and experiences. Children will be given time to explore their world, empowering them to reach their highest potential. By asking open ended questions, our staff encourages problem solving skills and critical thinking. We are committed to helping children grow socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically in a warm and caring atmosphere.

SOV is a non-profit, church related school and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, or national and ethnic origin. It is open to children from three to five years of age.
