Good Shepherd Parents’ Day Out (PDO) provides a Christian atmosphere that will enable the very young child the opportunity to develop personal-social skills for successful, pleasant interactions with peers, adults and the environment. We provide the opportunity to affirm a good sense of self-esteem and love, as well as foster academic readiness through attention to colors, shapes, letters, numbers, creativity and imagination.
