St. James Preschool

 It is our hope to offer the community a safe, healthy environment for  children; an environment that will encourage the children to grow and  develop at their own pace. With love and understanding we hope to  encourage the children to come to respect themselves, their peers and  adults. It is our goal to foster the joy of discovery and a love of learning  in every child who enters St James Preschool. We encourage your child  to experience:  

• Biblical and Hands On Educational Activities
• God's Love Serving as our Guiding Principle
• Participation in a Respectful & Loving Environment

Purpose

 Saint James Preschool is a Christian ministry of Saint James the Apostle  Episcopal Church to the community and we extend an invitation to the  community's children and families to participate in a respectful and loving  environment that will encourage everyone to know God and his  Kingdom.

 Saint James Preschool is committed to a developmentally appropriate  learning program which enables preschool children to grow spiritually,  intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially in a Christian  environment. We are dedicated to teaching children that they are unique,  valued individuals, loved as children of God. Through biblical and hands  on educational activities, children will learn to live as Jesus lives, with  God's love serving as the guiding principle throughout the program. Saint  James welcomes children of any race, color and national or ethnic origin.
