St. James Preschool is child centered and based on the belief that play is the best way for children to learn. Children are encouraged to choose freely from a wide range of play and learning experiences, including:
- Creative expression through the media of movement
- Musical rhythms and art
- Development of manipulative skills and motor coordination through puzzles, carpentry, blocks, and climbing equipment
- The increase of knowledge through special events, cooking and science activities
- The integration of sensory skills through water, sand, and play dough as well as other sensory experiences
- The growth of language skills through stories, songs, and dramatic play and the development of the spiritual dimension through daily prayers, Christian stories and songs.
It is a balanced program, offering both child-directed and teacher-directed activities. The daily schedule includes free choice of time spent in learning centers, as well as group times for creative movement, music, storytelling, and dramatization.
