Author: Sabrina Shepherd Rating: 5/5 Date: 2/27/2024, 6:38:13 PM Review: Both our sons have or do go to St. Jerome’s for preschool and we could not be happier. We feel completely comfortable sending them there knowing that they will learn in hands on creative and fun ways and be safe with everyone too. Our youngest is so happy to go and play each week with his friends and has learned so much from them. ----- Author: Anna Murphy Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/27/2023, 12:25:35 AM Review: My son and daughter (now 5 and 3) have attended this school for years and I truly can’t imagine them at any other preschool! The curriculum is unmatched (they even do lively letters) the shady playground is top tier, they have an amazing outdoor classroom and faith is central! Communicating with the teachers, staff, director and so on is always clear and timely! I know my children are safe and very happy at school and that is why I highly recommend to all! ----- Author: Kayleigh Sloman Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/26/2023, 9:15:46 PM Review: St. Jerome Early Childhood Center came highly recommended by many of our family and friends. The staff is top notch, and the school is beautiful inside and out. We are so grateful to have such a safe, loving, and enriching environment for our son. He has learned so much and really feels welcome and valued at school, and all of the teachers do a fantastic job supporting each child in their care. ----- Author: Daniel Kennedy Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/26/2023, 7:15:58 PM Review: St Jerome's ECC is fantastic. Our family loves the experiences our children have here and they are cared for and nutured like no other place we have ever seen or visited. The staff is professional and my kids are safe and secure as well. ----- Author: Kim Marchetti Rating: 5/5 Date: 3/26/2023, 5:55:27 PM Review: I have had both of my children in St Jerome and we have had a wonderful experience from age 2 through VPK. As a teacher myself, what drew me to St. Jerome was that the school was small and had a family first atmosphere, but also the attention to detail that each classroom has for age appropriate curriculum and materials. The teachers foster a love for each student and my kids feel so safe and loved there. The outside playspace is absolutely amazing and their outdoor classroom has helped my children stay connected and curious to the outside world around them. I recommend this school to any friends I meet with littles and I am so pleased with our experience.

I went to this Preschool as a child and I love that my 3 children attended as well! They have a caring staff and I love the outdoor classroom experience for the kids to learn in nature.
Both our sons have or do go to St. Jerome’s for preschool and we could not be happier. We feel completely comfortable sending them there knowing that they will learn in hands on creative and fun ways and be safe with everyone too. Our youngest is so happy to go and play each week with his friends and has learned so much from them.
The staff at St. Jerome Early Childhood Center embodies warmth and dedication, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive. My son has flourished under their care, and their genuine kindness has made a lasting impression on our family. Their commitment to fostering a love for learning is evident in every interaction, and my son eagerly looks forward to his time at school each day. I am grateful for the positive impact St. Jerome Early Childhood Center has had on my son’s early education journey
From the first moment we toured St Jerome we knew it was a special, kind and caring place for our son to attend. The staff treat the children with respect & dignity they deserve as developing minds. They use conscious discipline and are attentive to my child’s emotional needs as well as educational. I can tell he is always learning and through the weekly classroom report, I know exactly what topics they covered. As Catholics, we love the religious integration but don’t feel it would be too overwhelming for non-Catholics. I would highly recommend this highly accredited preschool to everyone.
I only have amazing things to say about this school, The teachers are caring and lovely and they are so welcoming, I am so blessed that I found them. This is the best place for kids, they learn about religion, about other countries, they learn about life and they always have different activities for them. My Kid loves to go there because he gets a lot of love from everyone there. They have the best staff, they are very organized and the communication is AMAZING. Thank you to all the beautiful people that work so hard to teach our little ones. You have the best staff and my family is so happy to be part of your family.
I had my child registered at another place but then one friend talked to me about this school and I really liked the way she expressed about it. So I was lucky and I had the opportunity to have an interview with the lovely staff. After I met them, I knew this was the right place for my son, they are caring, they always welcome us with a smile and the best attitude. They have great communication. They use a portal and they send information of all the activities and lessons they teach to our kid. They help the community, they have activities and every day my boy goes to school he is extra happy! He loves his teachers, he loves to play and we are so blessed to be able to be part of the St. Jerome Family. Thank you to Ms. Phyllis for working so hard and having always a smile for us, to Ms. Michelle for being so kind and organized and always be on top of everything, to Ms. Christina for the hard and beautiful job that she does, she is always teaching them beautifully and she is a very caring teacher/mom. To Ms. Hull, she really put her heart on her job. My son loves her, you can see how genuine she is. And to all the staff, me and my husband only have words of thanks! I highly recommend this place for your little ones!
