"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 communicatewith 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

St. James School for Little Folks students attend chapel every week, which consists of Bible stories, Christian teachings, prayers, and songs. Our children are exposed to God's love for themselves, others, and this world that he created. 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.
