  • St. James is where you want your child to be! Our daughter attended SJCDC for nearly two years and we were very pleased with her experience. It says a lot when your child is excited to go to "school" and sad to leave. The Infant/Mobile team was sweet and nurturing to our baby girl and super kind to my wife and me. This trend carried on all they way to Toddler Twos. All of the teachers are professional, pleasant, and happy to provide updates on your child's progress. Patrick is a superb director. He's straight forward but also accommodating, which was very much appreciated during the early COVID19 days. We highly recommend SJCDC!

  • Words cannot express how grateful we have been to have St James to care for our son. We were initially drawn to St James because many of the people who work there have been at St James for years and years ... decades for more than a few. When I was pregnant with my first baby the thought of leaving him at daycare seemed so sad. I had heard that many daycare centers have high turnover rates, and that it was stressful for small children to have changes like that in who is around to take care of them. We toured St James and the warmth and love and steadfast connections between the women in Infants and Mobiles and the babies they were taking care of was heartwarming. They’ve proven to be everything we hoped for and more. St James is so far from a sad place to leave our child during the day while we work ... it’s a place where we feel confident that he is being nurtured by people who feel like extended family.

  • 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!

  • We started our daughter at St. James at 7 months in the "mobiles" room. She loved the kids and the teachers. Can't say enough about how great the teachers are -- very kind, and very focused on the babies and their needs. They helped us through difficult separation anxiety issues, and serious diaper rash outbreaks. The food they provide is healthy and tasty (and convenient). The parking out front made it very easy to do quick picks ups/drop offs. The only downside here is that it's a bigger daycare -- lots of kids, lots of noise, a little bit of an institutional feel. Then again, our daughter loved how busy and active her days were. This is also a nonprofit daycare - they prioritize having a professionalized, wellpaid, well-respected staff, and it shows. We highly recommend St. James.

  • 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.

  • 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!
