Early Childhood

Pre-K4, Kindergarten

Our early childhood program offers time and space for young children to be children where they play, explore and imagine. Our program is designed to lead our students from wonder to discovery and from investigation to affirmation.
St. James School recognizes that each child is a unique individual with his or her own skills and learning style. Our Pre-K and Kindergarten provide a stimulating atmosphere filled with differentiated lessons, hands-on experiences and Good God Choices to develop the whole child.
St. James Early Childhood Department follows Diocesan Curriculum Guidelines.
Before and Aftercare are available for both Pre K4 and Kindergarten.
