'The natural behavior of boys is often disciplined,' in the pre-school setting, says Cortaiga Collins, Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation for Strengthening Families. The Good Shepard Academy for Boys is a first-of-its-kind preschool serving boys aged 3-to-5. 'We wanted to create a space where boys could be themselves authentically,' continues Collins, she says that boys that age are very much, 'tactile learners.' The school is set to open in the fall of 2026.
