Our Mission
To Teach Children God’s Love.
Every child’s educational and emotional journey begins with a core set of ingredients; a loving and supportive family, trusted caregivers and an environment that challenges each and every child regardless of his or her developmental stage.
Through their teaching, LSLC staff encourages the development of a Christian character and exemplifies the true meaning of a faith based center by providing the children with lesson plans and daily activities that reflect our God driven message. Our primary focus is to provide our children with faith based learning inside and outside the classroom.
Our School. Our Family. Our Community
Little Sheep Learning Center is one of Bastrop’s premier child care facilities and we work diligently to provide our students with the tools and knowledge they will need to excel in the classroom and in life. Part of that process is developing a close working relationship with our student’s parents. LSLC continually aims to make our learning center the most effective and beneficial for your children. Our dedicated team of teachers work endlessly to provide the best educational environment and teaching methods.
Age-Based Curriculum
Customized education for your child’s age group.
Infant Care
Our team of CDA certified, professional educators care deeply about the level of care provided. Our secure, clean classrooms ensure that our children can discover, and learn while giving you peace of mind during your work day. Low teacher to student ratio allows for optimal supervision, in a loving, nurturing Christ-centered environment.
Toddler Care
Our team of highly trained toddler professionals provides an environment that is equally social as it is academic, fostering an environment where colors shapes and directional instruction occurs in a fun, engaged child and Christ-centered environment. Teachers enforce structure, model sharing, turn-taking, patience, and focus a lot on sensory play.
Threes Care
Three-year-olds are special! They are transitioning from parallel play to interactive play, and their language capacity is blossoming. They are becoming much more mobile, and they are learning to show genuine affection and concern for their peers. Individualized potty training, structured environment, and routines allow children to trust what comes next.
Prekindergarten
Preparing for Kindergarten is a big deal. Pre-Kindergarten children are constantly engaged in pre-reading, pre-writing skills that are rapidly advancing at this age. These skills are necessary for success in their formal education years. Our highly trained, CDA certified teachers prepare and integrate weekly theme-based learning plans that come with research based findings in our curriculum model.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are your hours of operation?
Do I need to schedule an appointment to tour your preschool?
What is your safety & security policy?
At Good Shepherd Lutheran School we understand safety & security is of the utmost importance and that prevention goes a long way. This is one of the many reasons we invested in a locked keypad entry and 24 hour surveillance camera system. Research has proven that onsite safety measures provide the following:
-deterrent to unwanted offenses
– Our motion-sensored technology allows us to monitor activity at any given time on our campus and keep eye on the entire campus in real-time.
– keep our students and faculty safe; Surveillance systems help to monitor students, and keep an eye on problematic situations. They can also be helpful in monitoring campus visitors and preventing unauthorized access to the campus.
– Video surveillance systems allow for us to assess the situation more accurately if a situation does occur. Better information leads to faster evacuations and more efficiently securing school grounds. Preventing access, reacting to problems, and improving the reaction time of the authorities adds up to safer schools and happier parents
– Peace of Mind; we want our Parents to feel confident that their children are as safe as possible at school. Teachers, faculty, and students want to feel comfortable and safe when they are on our campus.
By adding video surveillance and keypad entries to our campus safety plan, we want families to know we are providing our campus school with the kind of comprehensive security that makes all of these good things possible.
