St. James's Children's Center is a high quality and diverse early childhood center where children learn through hands on discovery and exploration. St. James's Children's Center prepares young hearts and minds for life!  We love.  We teach.  We nourish.  We explore. To accomplish this mission, the Center: provides a loving environment for all children, including those who are ‘at risk’ and those with special needs; teaches children to respect the differences, strengths and weaknesses in each other; provides an enriching and academically competitive pre-school and after-school education for all of its children; maintains a challenging program of educational excellence.
