  • Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool in Appleton is affiliated with our Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation, which enrolls 3-year olds, 4-year olds, and 5-year olds. 
  • Our campus includes Good Shepherd Lutheran Church. In partnership with parents, the purpose of Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool is to challenge and enable students to develop and grow spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically.
  • Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool allows young children to explore their environment and build new social skills through play and hands-on learning activities in a safe, positive, caring Christ-centered environment. Children will learn through play, with a balance of both teacher-directed and child-initiated activities.  Art projects, Bible stories, finger plays, songs, group time, outside time, gym time, and pretend play are just some of the exciting opportunities your child will have available to them throughout the day.
