Our programs

Developmentally appropriate preschool programming in an enriching and nurturing environment within the Irvington community.

​

The Good Shepherd experience is one in which each child is seen, respected, and nurtured as they explore, experience, socialize, grow, and learn

in a carefully designed age-appropriate preschool classroom.

Our facility

GSECC is located within The Irvington Presbyterian Church's premises. The preschool is housed in 5 spacious, well-equipped early childhood classrooms. The expansive secure outdoor facilities include two shady playgrounds, a generous "wheeled toy" riding area and a very large grassy field. All this makes for healthy, all-season outdoor exploration and play. Additionally, we have a large all-purpose room in which to enjoy indoor gross motor activities as well as all-school meetings, gatherings and fairs.

The Good Shepherd Early Childhood Center

holds the distinction of being accredited by the

National Association for the Education of Young Children. This rigorous process of approval of our curriculum, educators’ qualifications, and facilities is conducted every four years by national evaluators. This is the highest mark of quality that a preschool can be awarded.

 

We are the only preschool in the Rivertowns area – Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley and Irvington – to hold this highest mark of quality.  For more information on NAEYC,
