Community at SJP is vibrant and vital

The St. James Preschool community is a vital, committed, and supportive aspect of the school. It’s comprised of roughly 40 families, and it’s amazing to see what can come out of such a vibrant, fun, and dedicated group.
 

Parents are integral parts of the community and take active roles in the development of the school. The enthusiastic help in the classroom maintains the strong bond our staff, parents, and children have with each other. Frequent social events bring the already close-knit group even closer. And their generous support contributes to the incredible programs offered in and out of school.
 

This genuine, warm, and eclectic group welcomes each new family with joy, laughter, and often, donuts.

Sharing passions

Parents are encouraged to share a passion with their child’s class, chaperone a trip, or help organize activities as a room parent. Your child may meet a firefighter parent, a dentist grandmother, or myriad other special guests from our family community.

Getting social

Our community is made up of fun and engaging folks, who like to provide opportunities to get together and enjoy each others’ company. From weekday meetups at Mountain Lake Park to Parent Cocktail Night, our families know how to have a good time!

Giving

St. James Preschool continues to thrive because of our community’s generous support. The 2024 Annual Fund enabled SJP to begin offering Spanish enrichment to our students and to create the mural which will be revealed at the start of school in August 2025.
