I can't recommend St. James enough! We have been apart of the St. James family for nearly 7 years. Both of our kids have been there since they were 4-months old. Our oldest attended all the way through the Kindergarten program (Noelle is the best) and she was setup so well for 1st grade. Patrick leads such a great program and all of the teachers are engaging and very attentive to the children. Many of the teachers have been there since we started (and long before we arrived) so we have been able to build great relationships with them and we have been impressed with each and every one of them. The sense of community with other families, the staff and teachers couldn't be better. It is also great having access to a list of teachers that are available to do babysitting so that we have babysitters that know our children and we know are experts at childcare. We have looked at other facilities closer to our oldest daughter's elementary school to make drop-off/pick-up easier for us to get both kids to school and nothing even came close. We are willing to have more difficult mornings and afternoons to keep our youngest in St. James because they are amazing!

My daughter attended St. James from 3 months old to 3 years old. I can not say enough great things about this school! I have an older son that had attended a more corporate center, so I do have another experience to compare it to. The teachers at St. James are genuine and really take great care of the children. The staff is also flexible which is really important for a busy working mom. I wish there was more I could do for St. James besides write a google review to let them know how much I appreciate all they did for our family. If I ever win the lottery, I would give all the teachers a bonus!

Though my child has only been at St. James for about 6 months, when my husband and I went for our first tour over a year ago we knew immediately it was the best daycare around. The director, Patrick, was very friendly and had an answer for all our anxious new-parents-to-be questions. Since then, we have gotten daily confirmation that we made the right choice with St. James. First and foremost is the staff- they are all wonderful. I don't know how they managed to find so many genuinely nice, caring people to work there, but they did and since my first day leaving my baby behind while I returned to work, I have known that he was in the best possible hands. My husband and I are excited about continuing having our son at St. James through his pre-school years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as the best daycare in town.

We have had two children attend the child development center, and have enjoyed an amazing experience. Being first time parents, we were faced with the daunting job of finding a special place for our newborn. St. James definitely rose to our standards, and frequently exceeded expectations with that little something extra. The longevity and dedication of staff makes this center a standout. The teachers are knowledgable and greet you each day with a warm smile. Additionally, the director, Patrick, was incredibly helpful during our transition back to work easing our fears and addressing parenting questions. I would highly recommend this school for your children.

We love St. James! It was hard to drop off our little guy for the first time, but everyone there--from Patrick (the director) to Suzanne, Dana, and Rosa made us feel at home immediately, even providing me some much needed Kleenex. The staff is always kind, professional, and attentive. I feel respected, listened to, and often receive very helpful advice from the women in the infant room. The community of parents, too, is a pleasure. Nearly six months old, our little boy loves going to daycare and it is fun to see how much he learns at the center each day.
