Our Golden Rule

Parent Testimonial

"St. James School for Little Folks has a child friendly environment. The teachers are open to parent input. The staff is knowledgeable about child development. Staff from Park Ridge PREP complete evaluations on the children every year to determine any issues the kids may have developmentally. The teachers communicate with parents about the children's needs. The school provides progress reports regarding development, behaviors, and skills of the children. The teachers discuss these reports with parents to help parents interpret results. Since my son has been attending SJSFLF, he has learned about the meaning of Easter & many other Christian holidays. He has developed skills using the computer. He is able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, sing various preschool songs, and write his name. They work on literacy skills as well. The school provides a variety of extra activities like Soccer Shots and Computer Pals. SJSFLF provides an educational environment that helps children prepare for kindergarten."

Christian Curriculum

At St. James School for Little Folks campus, we live by the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." This means that we work hard to provide a positive learning environment where your child receives an exceptional character education. Your child will learn to become the person God wants them to be by following in his footsteps and seeking his guidance every step of the way. Contact our school office today for additional information.

St. James School for Little Folks students attend chapel every week. The service is a shorter children’s version of a service from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer which includes an invitation to observe communion. Parents have the option of allowing their child to remain in the pews observing, participate in the communion service receiving a wafer touched in blessed wine, receive an untouched wafer or receive a blessing. This simple service reminds the children of God’s love for them, others, and this world in which they live. Classroom teachers expand upon each child's individual understanding by performing coordinating activities within the classroom to enhance the Christian principles taught during Chapel sessions.
