My daughter attended TSF for 4 years and really loved it. Thankful for a great staff and management

When we moved to the area back in 2011, this place had such a WONDERFUL REPUTATION in the Hanover area. Actually, many of my co-workers and friends had children go through this school and highly recommended TSF to us. We went ahead and enrolled my son, who was then 4, and had just a smooth sailing, learning-rich year! Teachers and staff were kind and very warm-welcoming. The environment was bright and even administration was present and always very accommodating to family's individual needs. So naturally, when it was time for my second child to attend preschool, of course we were hoping for the same positive experience. When I heard of some "change" occurring within the school, of course, as a parent, I hoped it would not reflect on the care of my child, or any child for that matter. To my dismay, this school went from a 5-star stellar place of learning to BAD! When you walk into this place, you "feel" the tension among staff. Something is WRONG!! What I thought was a "christian-run" school, ended up being just the opposite. Why? Staff are fighting, staff can not approach administration, behaviors of children are not being handled in an appropriate and safe manner and what it all comes down to for our family... PARENTS VOICES DID NOT MATTER! I am so sad this place has become a negative experience for us after such a blessing prior!

Awesome school! They love the children, friendly staff. Great environment. I had two children go through the program and recommend it to anyone who asks. Take a tour and see for yourself.

Our family has had such a wonderful experience with TSF!! This past school year was the first for our 3 year old. Her teacher was wonderful...excellent with keeping us updated on the important things going on with our daughter, plus she took the time to go the extra mile to send notifications, pictures, or just an FYI for the day. The communication we experienced was unexpected, in a great way! The director has also made many changes and adjustments to accommodate or make improvements as circumstances were encountered or to make room for growth...and this continues to happen. She has done an excellent job at communicating the important things to us...the monthly newsletter are wonderful...always looking forward to the upcoming events. The entire staff that has been involved in the care of our daughter has been excellent. It's a great feeling to have that when I leave my daughter there to go to work, that I trust and feel safe leaving her with the friendly/loving/caring staff and in a clean facility. Would definitely recommend!

Shepard's Fold has completely changed my view on daycare. My daughter has been enrolled for the past year and we could not be happier with the school. We feel she is truly loved by ALL of the staff who do a great job guiding and teaching her. The director, Miss Mary is passionate about what she does. She is in the rooms and active with the staff and children every day. The school supports us as parents and is an asset in raising our now 2 children. I went from Momma Bear being very picky about who would watch my child to an excited mom confident about enrolling our new infant! It is a relief knowing that they will be well cared for by responsible, well educated people who truly care for children and use common sense. The facility- including trike lot, playground and gymnasium is incomparable to others in the area.

We recently placed our grandson at Shepherd's Fold. We have been so pleased with how much he has improved in his language skills, knowing his colors and even recognizing numbers and some letters, just in a few short weeks. His teacher has been WONDERFUL about working with us and she truly seems to care about our grandson. Even the adults that are not his teachers greet him by name! Our grandson is so excited to be able to go to school, it's usually one of his first questions in the morning, "I go to school?" Thank you Shepherd's Fold, keep up the good work.

We feel so blessed and thankful to have Shepherds Fold in our area. It has been a great preschool/daycare/kindergarten program for all 3 of our children. We were so thankful for a place for them to go and know that they are being loved, taught academically and spiritually and that there would be consistency's between home and school. We highly recommend this facility!
