This school has been phenomenal. My son started school, for the first time, here and was nervous to be away from his parents for the first time. The teachers and the staff made him feel so welcome and happy that he absolutely loves coming here daily. I just wish they had classes for older children so we never had to leave. Everyone who works at this school is wonderful and we couldn't ask for a better school

St. James is an amazing preschool. We just finished year 5 there between two of our children. They both learned so much and had amazing teachers and administrators.

St James Preschool has been amazing for our son, for whom it was his first time at school and had some separation anxiety. We tried another school first but they were not able to work with him. I let Mrs Tammie and my son’s teachers and they were wonderful at getting him acclimated to being at school and taught him so much despite him going just 3 days a week for 3 hours each day. We love that he does learn about Jesus as well through class and are happy he will be back for VPK.

Could not have found a better spot for my daughter! If you are looking for a close-knit school with teachers who love your kids as if they were their own, kids getting equal doses of hands on learning, outside play, and academics then look no further! This is the place! We love it and have been very happy here!

My four children all went to preschool here and had an amazing experience. The teachers are so loving and caring. I love that social skills are emphasized, such as kindness and being inclusive of all friends in the class, along with school-ready skills, such walking in line, sitting in a circle, learning to eat lunch on their own, etc. They also learn all the necessary academic skills for kindergarten readiness. But most of all they feel safe, welcomed and loved here. (Photo because my youngest kiddo loved Pirate Day in her class.)
