Good Shepherd Early Childhood Center's mission is to support children’s natural sense of curiosity, initiative, engagement, persistence, and creativity and to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to become independent and successful life-long learners. GSECC holds the distinction of being accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We are the only preschool in the Rivertowns area – Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley and Irvington
