Our Classrooms

We have four classrooms grouped by age, and a large motor classroom (the STAR room). Our classrooms are filled with art created by students. Each classroom is divided into learning centers where the children may choose from a variety of activities designed to extend the child’s awareness and understanding of his/her environment and community. The learning centers include:

Art Center

Block Center

Books/Reading/ Listening Center

Writing Center

Dramatic Play

Science Center

Sensory Table

Cozy Corner/ Safe Place

Manipulatives

Circle/Group Center

STAR Room

STAR stands for Stop, Take A Deep Breath and Relax. This classroom is a safe place where children can go to calm their bodies and then get back to the business of learning, because sometimes we need more space for large body movement or sometimes we need more calming quiet space than the regular classroom can offer. The STAR room is a different kind of supportive environment where kids can take a “brain break”.

St. James Preschool is a ministry of St. James Presbyterian Church.

"St. James Preschool is my son's first experience outside of the home. Although we were anxious about his transition, we also knew upon our first visit, that this was the right place for him. His teachers genuinely love their jobs and make us feel as though they love him as their own. His progress has been exponential—his speech, social skills and ability to play with other children have skyrocketed and we are only halfway through the year. SJP also offers a variety of activities outside of school so that there is a true feeling of community. We could not ask for more for our son and cannot wait to see what happens in the years to come."

"I can't recommend St. James Preschool enough. From the moment you walk into the school, you can tell that the program is built on a foundation of love. My daughter's sense of compassion, empathy, understanding and patience increased significantly after she started at SJP three years ago."
