I want to welcome you to our website as you consider choosing Sherman Oaks Presbyterian Nursery School. It will be a privilege to teach and help your child prepare for kindergarten!I am reminded of Jesus' words in Matthew chapter 19 verse 14. He tells his disciples to "let the little children come to him and not to hinder them because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." I love this verse and it comes to my mind every time I think about our beautiful Nursery School ministry.I am very grateful for our incredible director, Elizabeth Corte and our school. As a parent, all three of my children have learned and been blessed by our school ministry. We love being able to help every child grow socially and understand their precious value. No joy is greater for me in ministry then to see our school children come to better know the love, truth, and the goodness of Jesus, while at the same time getting a strong education and learning the social skills required to succeed and thrive in school the rest of their lives!I treasure being able to teach chapel every week and support Jennifer and our wonderful staff. I also am happy to be a resource for our families in every challenge that can come up. My wife, Beth, and I treasure every opportunity that our school presents when it comes to loving our school kids and our school families.

OUR DIRECTOR

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Corte. As the Director for Sherman Oaks Presbyterian Nursery School, it's my pleasure to be leading this loving school and community, adhering to our educational standards and Christian values. As an Alumni from CSUN with a bachelor's in early childhood development, I have been working with children for 5+ years. My main goal is to always be learning and promote a safe, loving environment for others to learn as well. My passion for working with children started at a young age with the encouragement of my mother, who taught Sunday school at a local church while I was growing up. Inspired by her, all my educational and career decisions have led me to this position, as an educator, mentor and leader. I want to thank you for visiting us on our website and I hope that you will join us on a tour so you can see our beautiful school, and meet our wonderful staff and students.

OUR SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR

Welcome! My name is Beth Kintner and I am the Spiritual Director of Sherman Oaks Presbyterian Nursery School.

As a child, I grew up riding horses in the mountains of Washington State. Being surrounded by God's magnificent creation drew me into conversation and relationship with God, who created all of it with His loving hands. This connection with God set me on the path to continue to love and serve Him, as well as the people around me. It is my deepest joy to connect children with their loving God, through teaching them about the Bible, who God is, our Savior Jesus, and our helper Holy Spirit. Setting a strong foundation of faith gives children the strength and resilience they need to thrive in life! It is the greatest gift you could ever give them. "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it" (Proverbs 22:6).

Thank you for taking the time to find the best place for your child to learn and grow into the person God has created him/her to be. I pray that God would grant you wisdom, peace, and joy in the process! We look forward to meeting you!
