The faculty and staff of Saint James Catholic Preschool believe the following:

• All children are created in God's image and therefore have great dignity.
• Parents are the primary educators of their children.
• Teachers partner with parents to help their children grow in wisdom, faith, and knowledge.
• Together we are called to be life-long learners, generous servants, and authentic models of Christianity.
• The education of children is a parish ministry to be supported by the parish community.

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.
