“Where we ignite the potential in each child”

Why Saint James Preschool

Thank you for your interest in Saint James Preschool.  We believe it is important for teachers to partner with parents to help their children grow in faith and knowledge.  We are committed to providing a warm, safe environment for your children to learn each day they are with us.

Our program offers children a unique experience that incorporates art, music, religion, Spanish and outdoor play.  Our teachers are firmly committed to providing a personalized approach to education and are able to adjust activities to meet the children’s interests and needs. Our environment is joyful, respectful and play-based.  It is infused throughout with the charism of our IHM Sisters, where Jesus is the center and Mary is the model. 

Saint James Catholic Preschool is a vibrant pathway to our historic elementary school, grades K-8, that has been educating students since 1923, and where the faculty strives to inspire, lead, and challenge our students to fully develop their God-given abilities. 

We understand there are many choices for preschool education and we feel blessed that you are considering partnering with us.

God Bless,
