A Place Without Fear

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.  -- John 14:27

Preschool years are critical in so many ways. Children learn life skills that enable them to be independent and confident. They learn to play and work both in a group and on their own. Possibly most importantly, they learn to do these things without fear - fear of embarrassment or shame, rejection or hurt. This secure footing is the foundation for students to try new things, stumble and rise and dare to love.

 

I had a parent tell me that St James Day School is the first place that her daughter truly had "no fear". How can there be a better endorsement? We are so thankful for St James Church and for the support that it gives to our ministry. That support gives us our own courage to pass along to the children. What a wonderful partnership.
