Good Shepherd MMO

08/25/2026

We’re already off to a GREAT start!

In just our first two weeks, our sweet friends have explored all kinds of exciting hands-on learning! And there’s SO much more fun ahead!

MMO has 4 openings available - so your little one can still jump in, make friends, and be a part of the fun!

Every day includes time in their classroom, plus Specials (Spanish, Science, Music and Art) and plenty of play, movement & hands-on exploration!

All led by loving, experienced teachers who are background checked and CPR/First Aid certified. Our building even includes a certified storm shelter!

We have:

🍎ONE 2 day (Tuesday/Thursday) spot for a student born between 3/2/23 and 9/1/23
🍎ONE 2 day (Tuesday/Thursday) spots for students born between 9/2/22 and 3/1/23

There’s still time to enroll before school begins next month... but our remaining spots are disappearing quickly!

If you're looking for a program where your child is truly known, loved, and encouraged to learn through play, we'd love to welcome your family.

Why families choose us:
• Small class sizes with individualized attention.
• Play-based learning that builds a lifelong love of school.
• Daily enrichment classes in Science, Music, Spanish, and Art.
• A warm, Christ-centered environment where children grow academically, socially, and spiritually.

One of the things that makes our preschool especially unique? Every member of our teaching staff is a mom - we understand what it's like to entrust your child to someone else's care because we've been there ourselves. We know it's one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and we don't take that responsibility lightly. Your child will be loved, encouraged, and cared for as if they were our own.❤️

📚School starts soon, and we have only very limited availability remaining!
✔️ONE Tuesday/Thursday spot for a child born between 9/2/24 and 3/1/25 - ENROLLED!
✔️ONE Tuesday/Thursday spot for a child born between 3/2/24 and 9/1/24 - ENROLLED!
✔️ TWO Tuesday/Thursday spots for children born between 9/2/22 and 3/1/23

We are still hoping for one or two more special women to join our staff for the coming school year!

We have an unexpected opening for just ONE new student in our half-day preschool!

Out of 30 Pre-K4 seats, this is just the fourth opening we've been able to offer to a new family. Our families stay with us because they love the nurturing environment and meaningful lessons their children receive every day.

With small class sizes, every child is truly known and encouraged. Along with building strong preschool fundamentals, our students enjoy lessons in:

🎨 Art
🎵 Music
🔬 Science
🌎 Spanish
⛪ Chapel

And, of course, there's plenty of time for imagination, creativity, and adventure - because we believe childhood should be filled with wonder!

School starts soon, and this rare opening won't last long. If you've been looking for a program where your child will be loved, challenged, and inspired, we'd love to welcome your family to our special community!

The classrooms may be empty for the summer, but things are still hopping behind the scenes!

While the kids are enjoying sunshine and popsicles, we're busy cleaning, organizing, planning, shopping, moving furniture, and making a big mess in the process! 🫣 (Queue a round of 🎶”Clean up, clean up, everybody, everywhere!”🎶)

We are also gathering supplies and dreaming up fun new activities for the year ahead (while staying in budget!) With big online sale days coming up soon, we're sharing our wish list for anyone who would like to support our little program. Every item helps us create a wonderful space for our kids to learn, play, and grow! Thank you for all the love and support you give us! ❤️

We hope everyone is having a fantastic summer! (We promise the office won’t look like this when our first day of MMO rolls around!)

We know many of our families already have carts full of school supplies - we want to help ensure all of those belongings make it home each day!

We loved our labels last school year and are happy to recommend them again - Mabel's Labels offers a label for everything! There are lots of designs to choose from! (Even a stamp to make labeling diapers quick and easy!)

You don’t have to be a current MMO family to participate. If you need labels for your big kids, your own classroom, your athlete’s gear… we would love your support!

Your orders ship directly to you for free and our program gets a generous portion of your purchase!

Just visit:

Then search for “Good Shepherd MMO (Madison, AL)” and you’re set to shop!

Thank you for helping our little program do ✨big✨things!
