Shepherd of the Coast Lutheran Church and School

"Thank GOD for Shepherd of the Coast Lutheran School! They welcomed our son into their 6th grade class despite it being the middle of the school year. We had to pull our son out of Sunrise Middle School due to bullying and he has been thriving ever since enrolling at SOTC. We love the small class sizes, the friendly and welcoming environment, as well as the values and principles taught there. The staff have been wonderful and we feel right at home. If you're frustrated by the lack of options for middle school, I highly recommend SOTC for the structure and education they offer at an affordable price for most families. Thank you, SOTC!"

"If I could give 10/10 stars, I would! I had a really bad experience at a different local daycare- I'm a first time mom and had to go back to work when my son was 3 months old. I did a bunch of research but Shepherd of the Coast had a waiting list so I put him in another daycare that I toured and felt comfortable with but my son did not do well. At the other daycare, they complained to me about him crying every single time I picked him up, told me to stop picking him up at home when he cried, to keep him in his crib more, etc. After the first week he was no longer able to hold his head up and had a mat in the back of his hair that he. never had before from them keeping him in the bouncer while he cried. There was a bunch of other things that happened, but I don't want to write.a book about that place on here when I'm reviewing Shepherd of the Coast. We got put on the waiting list to leave the bad place and ever since we got into Shepherd, my son has been truly flourishing. He absolutely loves all his teachers. Marian, Michelle, and Dawencia have been like family to both of us. They are so good to him and he has come so far. Faith, the director, has been an absolute angel as well. Everyone is so kind. The security there is top notch, there's no way someone is getting in there who shouldn't be. The infant room is so clean and welcoming, it's large and there's a bunch of toys and swings and jumpers. My son is very active and gets bored easily, so he needs a lot of different things to do. They taught him to sit up, crawl, and now he's standing and they're helping him learn to walk. I've seen all of the babies there throughout the past 6 months excel in development. I can rave about this daycare for days, I have never had a bad experience. They send updates and photos of the babies, I feel so comfortable all day at work being able to check in on him and see what he's up to. They're so responsive on the app. This place is by the most amazing place I could have ever imagined for my son. I am sad to be moving to a different county and having to leave them next month because I know any other daycare couldn't come close to being as amazing. We are so blessed to have the opportunity to be there and I love them all so very much."

"Love this school! As a parent of two children enrolled at the school, I am very grateful for the level of care and commitment that the staff demonstrate. Our children love going to school each day and have made significant academic and social-emotional growth over the past few years. Thank you Shepherd of the Coast !!"

"My daughter has attended the early learning program since she was 8 months old. The teachers have been all been wonderful to her. I feel safe leaving my daughter there each day. We get updates to our phones with what she is doing, pictures, etc. The director is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We couldn't be happier."

"Sending our two year old here was one of the best decisions. The staff have all been wonderful in helping our son transition to daycare life. They have been kind, understanding and patient as toddlers can be amazing but also challenging. They have many activities and learning opportunities to work on with the kids. I love the app they use to keep parents updated on their daily progress. It also allows both my husband and I to see our little guy and it also has a feature that allows us to quickly and effectively with the teachers and administrators. The administrator, Faith, has been so great to work with- she responds quickly to any question we’ve had and has been so kind. I highly recommend for anyone looking for quality child care."
