School Reviews
| 5 Both of our daughters attended preschool at St. James. It was a wonderful experience for them as well as us. Ms. April and her staff are very caring, wonderful, dedicated teachers who want to ensure the children are comfortable, happy and learning. Both of our daughters were more than prepared for elementary school. Our oldest daughter is in the gifted program and our youngest has been referred for testing. We highly recommend this preschool! - Posted by Parent - kelly |
