Play, Learn,
Grow Together!

St. James Nursery School was established in 1974 to serve families of two, three, four, and five-year olds. We are located in beautiful Mount Airy, Maryland.

St. James’ has a deep Christian identity which is foundational to our educational program and part of what makes our school special. St. James’ is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools. This national organization offers resources for spiritual development, leadership mentoring, grants, and so much more. Episcopal schools are places where people from all different types of perspectives and traditions show up and engage in the joyful process of learning. This is not only what we are supposed to do, but what we love to do.

Our classrooms are arranged into learning centers to promote exploration and skill development

Our Core Values

Special Care For Your
Children

St. James’ Nursery School is deeply committed to equity, honesty, kindness, and respect as part of the educational experience. To this end, we: 

  • strive to celebrate diversity both within our community and in our curriculum; 
  • are concerned for the well-being of all people; 
  • seek to build the self-esteem of all people;
  • aspire to promote understanding among all people.

Recognizing the dignity and worth of all individuals and to protect their rights, we oppose bias, prejudice, and discrimination. St. James’ Nursery School does not condone any behavior which is inconsistent with these tenets. We believe that spoken or written language or any behavior that is inconsistent with this philosophy and/or that demeans one’s ethnic, religious, racial, physical, personal and/or sexual characteristics is unacceptable. We expect individuals to take responsibility for their words and deeds and to respect all people.
