Description:
St. James Preschool offers a secular program for preschool age children, which is designed to foster the development of the whole child — emotionally, socially, intellectually and physically. Through its nurturing and stimulating preschool environment, St. James helps its students make the transition from the protected family atmosphere to the expanded community in which they live. Nestled in the heart of Upper Montclair, St. James Preschool is fully licensed by the State of New Jersey and has served area families for over 30 years.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
