St. James Preschool has been continuously owned and operated by St. James Episcopal Church since 1965. Over the years, our program has grown and expanded to meet the ever-changing needs of today’s preschoolers in the Downingtown, as well as, Chester Springs, Coatesville, Exton and West Chester areas.
St. James Preschool is non-denominational and accepts children of all backgrounds. Though we are operated by St. James Episcopal Church, our curriculum does not include religious education. We do, however, offer a prayer of thanksgiving at snack time.
We have a warm, mature staff consisting of five teachers and five assistants. Our teachers are certified or have over fifteen years of teaching experience. Our private classrooms are well- supervised with a teacher and an assistant in each class. This allows the right teacher-to-student ratio which affords each child individual attention. Our staff is easily accessible and available to address any parent questions or concerns.
Our preschool program consists of Young Threes, Threes/Fours, and Pre-K classes. We offer morning sessions two, three or five mornings a week. We offer afternoon sessions three days a week for our Threes/Fours and Pre-K classes. Our school calendar runs from September to May.
We are happy to give tours of our Preschool. Please call to set up an appointment.
