Extended Day

Many San Francisco families have dual-working parents with varying schedules. St. James Preschool has you covered with our Extended Day Program. Our afternoon program offers children from 2 to 5 years old an opportunity to play and grow together. In this sweet arrangement, older children are often seen helping younger ones learn to ride the tricycles or how to make bubbles. 
 

While the program has its own routine (quiet rest, snack, story time, outside play, activity time), children can also work on projects that emerge from their morning activities. Afternoons are a great time for children to dive deep on a favorite subject with a teacher and students from another class, as well as forge deeper connection with kiddos from their own class.

WHAT FAMILIES ARE SAYING ABOUT SJP

"We both have demanding full-time jobs, so our daughter spends most of her day at school. When we were choosing a preschool, it felt as though we were choosing an extension of our family — a tough task. A few months in, she was as comfortable in her classrooms as in our living room, and felt lucky to have extra time there. When we're at work, we have peace of mind knowing she's happy and growing together with her St. James family."
