When you find yourself in the position to help someone, be happy and feel blessed because God is answering that person’s prayer through you. Remember: Our purpose on earth is not to get lost in the dark but to be a light to others, so that they may find way through us. God bless you …..

This winter was a little late arriving but we are in full swing now. Please remember to bundle up your little ones for these chilly winter days.
Lots of fun happenings took place in January which included PJ Days, Mr. Fader playing his banjo and singing with our 2 year old class, Cinderella’s Winter Ball puppet show presented by Carroll County Library, bookmobile visits and Chapel times, to name a few. Alice (the Hedgehog) the newest member to arrive in Red Room has been a great hit with the children. The children continue to grow and learn so many interesting and fun facts. St. James’ Nursery School Facebook page displays many wonderful pictures daily – Thank you Pat Castle!
Our Nursery School participates in Starfall which is a children’s website that teaches basic English reading and writing skills. The website teaches children how to read by using games and phonics. The programs methodology motivates children in an atmosphere of imagination and play. It is a great and fun learning tool for the children. Our teachers and staff continue to attend continuing education courses throughout the year keeping abreast of the newest developments in pre-school learning.
Where you start your child’s journey to their academic learning path can make all the difference in the world. St. James’ Nursery School is known to build confidence and motivate educational success in preschool children. Working at their own pace our pre-school children build their academic learning abilities through participating in creative art, math, science, music and natural play projects. Also important the children gain knowledge on how to share and get along with others prior to entering elementary school.
