About Us

Our weekday Preschool, sponsored by St. James United Methodist Church is a community ministry of the Church.  Here we seek to provide experiences that will help your child to grow in many ways — physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and intellectually.   We  also  seek  to provide  a  Christian  (non-denominational)  atmosphere in  which  love,  understanding, and individual concern make this growth possible.   We will help your child grow in independence and in his adjustment to the world beyond the home.

Our Pre-School. Our Family. Our Community

It is God’s intention that we develop our potential as human beings created in His image.   This potential will be enhanced by fostering physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual growth in ourselves and our children.   Each person is unique and this uniqueness is considered the basis for development of each area.

How do I enroll?

Please visit our forms page to download appropriate forms. Fill those out and return as soon as possible. A child is considered to be enrolled in the preschool only after the registration fee has been received, the administrator confirms the availability of space and the required paperwork is received and reviewed and approved by the administrator.  This includes basic enrollment and health information.  Any change to this information must be communicated to the office immediately so that current information is always on file.  This is for the safety of your child.  A medical form signed by a physician or certified nurse practitioner is required to be submitted within 30 days of admission.  This medical must be updated every 13 months.

What if my child is sick?

We ask that you not bring a sick child to preschool.  They will be sent home!  Please also plan ahead and have a backup care plan in place if you are not able to take time off from work/school. Please notify the school that your child will not be attending that day.

What about school cancellation?

Our school calendar follows closely the Miamisburg Public School calendar.  If weather conditions prohibit school in Miamisburg, we will also be closed. If the Miamisburg Public Schools are on a delay, we will be opening at our regular time.   If these circumstances should arise, watch WHIO-TV for closing information on  Public Schools or check our Facebook Page. 

What if there is an emergency?

St. James Preschool has devised several procedures to follow in the event that an emergency would occur while a child is at the preschool. Please see the handbook for more details.

What are the tuition rates?

Two days a week classes………………………………$95.00   ($285 quarterly)

Three days a week classes……………………………$125.00  ($375 quarterly)
