Shepherd's Way Day School is a Five Star rated 3,700 square foot child care facility that opened in September of 2007.  Shepherd's Way Day School offers a before/after school program and a summer camp program for students age 5 through 12.

Our integrated Christian curriculum offers children of all ages an exciting, hands-on way to learn Biblical lessons.  We not only encourage learning, we encourage the love of learning.  We believe in positive guidance methods.  At Shepherd's Way we implement consistent and age-appropriate limits that help to develop a sense of independence and responsibility in our children.  Our goal is to help our children make good choices so that they can function in their world in a more positive way.

The strength of our program lies in our dedicated and qualified staff members.  We support our teachers' professional development with opportunities for training, resources, and supplements for higher education.  We are committed to obtaining and retaining educated, qualified individuals to care for and teach your child so that the attachments they form with their caregivers are nurturing, loving and secure.

  The parent is the most significant person in a child's life.  We strive to create a respectful partnership between parents and teachers.  We provide opportunities for daily communication between parents and the staff of our center.  Our doors are always open to parents.  We recommend that parents come regularly into their child's classroom and spend time in their environment.

At Shepherd's Way we will continually work to earn the trust placed in us.    The Star Rated License is a comprehensive program that helps to determine the overall quality of a child care center.  Stars range from 1 to 5 stars.  Obtaining 5 stars requires a center to perform well above the minimum in three major areas:

• Program Standards, Staff/Child Ratio & Environmental Rating for Centers

• Staff Education Standards for Centers

• Compliance with All Child Care Regulations History for Centers
  (For more information on the Licensing System for the State of North Carolina, please visit their website: www.ncchildcare.dhhs.state.nc.us/parents/pr_sn2_ov_sr.asp)

Our primary goal at Shepherd's Way is to better serve families and children by providing them with a high quality child care alternative.
