We LOVE SJP! The teachers are very warm and loving. I've taught preschool myself, so curriculum is very important to me. I have been pleased with the structure, activities, and variety of materials available to the kids. Most importantly, my triplets love coming to school every day! SJP is a great place to be! We are glad we're here!

I chose St. John's Preschool, and am currently having my second daughter attend the school, because of the nurturing and educational environment it has provided. The teachers are caring and dedicated and bring their significant skills as educators to my children. I especially have enjoyed hearing my daughter learn more about Jesus--she reminds us to say grace and always wants to pray! St. John's Preschool has been perfect for my daughters to learn about the structures and expectations of school in a loving manner. Both of my girls enjoyed going to school and wish it is every day. My daughter who currently attends asks me every night if she has school the next day...and is sad if she doesn't! She is excited for each day at school, which is the best testament any school can have. I strongly recommend St. John's Preschool to an parent considering a school for their youngest treasures.

My husband and I looked at 4 different area preschools and nothing compared to the feeling we got upon observing at St. John’s. The teachers were very caring, all of the children were actively involved in hands-on activities, and judging by the looks on all of the kids’ faces, they were beyond excited to be there learning and having fun. My husband and I are so happy we chose St. John’s for our twins first experience with learning in a school environment. Now, when I pick my boys up after school each day, they have story after story to tell me about all of the great lessons and activities they did that morning. There is just so much excitement and joy in their voices! I am very impressed with how St. John’s works with all of their students in helping them to foster positive and rewarding relationships with other kids their age. The teachers are kind, compassionate in what they do, and truly care about each of the kids. They work their hardest to make sure that my children are involved, learning, and, most importantly, having fun! Also, of great importance to me, I feel like, as a parent, I always know what is occurring in the classroom and that I am given ample opportunities to take part. My whole family feels like we are important to the school. St. John’s Preschool meets and exceeds all of the high expectations I had when searching for a preschool for my twin boys! (And as a teacher elsewhere myself, I can admit that I am quite picky in what I expect!)

We chose St. John’s because of the class size and the price. I love that the class was less than 15 students with 2 teachers. She loves going to school and is learning so much. Being close to the park has been nice as she loves it when the class gets to go there. The cost was very important to us as well, because we wanted her to get as much exposure as possible, but not put a financial strain on us at the same time. St. John’s wonderful program allowed us to maximize her exposure without it being painful.

We picked St. John's Preschool for its kindergarten readiness program because the teachers are outstanding. My son is learning his alphabet and numbers, while enhancing his gross and fine motor skills. My son says, "Learning is made fun with lots of art, playing, and singing." He especially enjoyed participating in the Christmas play.

Why did you choose SJP?
Four years ago when I first started the search for a preschool for my oldest daughter, I was overwhelmed by the choices. However, after touring a few different programs, I knew instantly that St. John's was the right program for her. As a former teacher, I knew exactly what I wanted in a preschool program for my daughter; a warm, loving, structured learning environment. I wanted my daughter to learn how to be a part of a group, and form relationships with her peers. I wanted her to adjust to a new routine, and feel safe and secure away from home. Oh yeah, and if she learned a few things, that was a bonus ;-). St. John's has been all of that and more. My oldest spent three years there, and my second child is on his second year. They both look forward to each new day there and have benefited in so many ways.
What do I like about SJP?
At the beginning of last school year, my third child, at 4 months old, had to undergo open heart surgery. As a parent, I was very concerned at how this would effect my older children, both who, at the time, were attending St. John's. During this extremely hard time for our family, the teachers at St. John's went above and beyond many, many times. Reassuring our kids, giving them extra hugs if need be, suggesting a comfort item when they were having a hard time, personally driving my daughter's special necklace that was left at school to our house, praying daily for our daughter and family, and offering kind and compassionate words to not only our children, but to us whenever they could. So when asked what I like about SJP's, hands down, the teachers...all of them are. absolutely. fantastic.
What do my children like about SJP?
I don't think I could think of something they didn't/don't like. The teachers, the crafts, the fun and innovative activities, muscle time, walking field trips to the park, "special" days like Muffins with Mom or Lunch Bunch, and of course Tuesday Tunes....just a few of the things that they are excited to participate in and tell us about at the end of their day. They love school.

We were immediately impressed with the teachers and staff at St. John's. The early 3 and 3 year old class teachers have a long history together. Their great working relationship and genuine love for the kids was immediately obvious. The curriculmn is very well planned and nicely coordinated with artwork and activities. Toys, books and play stations are constantly rotated, there is so much for the kids to do. On top of that the facilities are amazing. The rooms are neatly organized and exceptionally clean. The kids have access to separate 'muscle rooms' for running around, the church's hall/cafeteria for gatherings, the church grounds for outside activites and even a nearby park. Our daughter loves every aspect of school. We feel so blessed to have found St. John's for our kids first school experience.

We can’t say enough good things about St. John’s Preschool, it has been a real blessing to us. The teachers are so very caring, talented and have a true gift with children. The three year old class was the first time our son was away from us and it was a very positive experience. He now attends the kindergarten readiness class and has matured so much. He absolutely loves school and has gained so much more confidence in learning how to write his numbers and letters. The class sizes are small and the teachers truly care about the kids. Finally, our second son will be ready for school in 2 years and I can’t wait for him to share in the same experiences at St John's!
