Our loving and devoted professionals at KinderCare are passionate about teaching and caring for young children.
As a high quality child development program, our teachers exceed state minimum standards for education level and ongoing professional development.
Their lifelong love of learning is evident in their desire to stay abreast of new research and teaching techniques.
Families meet with teachers three times per year to review their child’s progress, which is documented in our developmentally appropriate assessments, portfolios, and anecdotal notes about daily achievements.
We feel privileged to work alongside families to form supportive and cooperative partnerships.
Shepherd Lutheran School exists to assist the families or our congregation and our community by providing a high quality Christ-centered education for the training of lifelong Disciples of Christ.

Shepherd is served by four full time teachers who are qualified, dedicated, caring, and certified by the Wisconcin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
We are also served by many parental volunteers and volunteers from the congregation.
The Shepherd Roadrunners offer students an opportunity to participate in several sports, along with other private schools in the Albuquerque area, as well as the Denver and Phoenix area.
