Why Is Today a Painting Party??

It started with a simple question this morning St James Lutheran Church Bilingual Preschool: “Have you ever seen someone paint?”

Our kids took the lead in their learning journey—choosing to to paint, unsolicited. So we went with the change, as they watched each other create masterpieces!

What is the point?

As the stars of their own stories, they collaborated, communicated, and let their creativity shine. Empowering young minds to express and connect through art!

Building Community with Families First & Carefully

Sparking Joy, Adding Value, and Continually Learning

Two-thirds of the children in our county are not in any childcare, and parents struggle daily, lonely and isolated with no help. At the bilingual preschool at St. James and soon across all our locations and programs, parents are utilizing Carefully to experience a rare commodity these days: new friendships, positive interactions, and mutual respect and desire to provide a healthy community for their children.

Do you find yourself needing care for your children and cannot find it? Keep reading here: https://carefullyapp.com/blog/building-community-with-families-first/

Welcoming Back Teachers & Back to School Supply Drive!

First and foremost, we would like to welcome back all our outstanding teachers for this upcoming school year! Although summer is ending, we look forward to seeing all your bright faces as we transition back into the academic year. (Those not pictured- we see you!).

At our 5-star immersion preschools, we pride ourselves in providing a safe and conducive environment for all students to enhance readiness and success in life. Children are embarking upon new adventures in the world of learning at this age! With the help of our wonderful staff, we facilitate a unique approach where the “image of the child” is how we determine optimal lessons for development, honoring each child’s uniqueness and passions.

Thanks to our incredible teachers and their love for bettering education, our work is carried out through new and long-lasting connections with the children!

“Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best” -Bob Talbert.

We wish our families, students, and staff a wonderful year. Let’s make this a positive and well-rewarding year for all!
