About this preschool

St. James' Preschool offers a play-based curriculum for children ages 2-4 in a warm, safe environment. The program emphasizes early literacy, math awareness, science, social-emotional development, and moral education through exploration, creative play, and structured learning centers.

Philosophy
We believe that preschool is where children form their first impressions of the world around them. It is in our playgrounds and classrooms where our attitudes toward conflict resolution, community, and a sense of our place in society are primarily developed. Understanding and respecting children's individual styles helps teachers create a more nurturing and caring atmosphere. In a warm, safe and interactive environment our teachers use a play-based approach through which the children engage in educational and fun-filled experiences.
