​We mourn the loss of a dear friend and devoted leader. We also celebrate her life and legacy. Denise Roach filled our school and lives with her peaceful presence. Certainly, she now hears the words of Scripture, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." We are grateful for her example of love and professionalism. Her effect on our community has been profound and will not be forgotten. She sowed the seeds of faith in many lives. Farewell beautiful friend!

SJECC will be open March 13 and May 26 for hurricane makeup days.​

Dear Prospective Families,
We are happy that you stopped on our web page! We have so much to share about our very special school.
St. Jerome Early Childhood Center is a faith-based preschool for students ages 2, 3 and 4. We believe that children learn through play and our classrooms are full of rich materials and activities that help them to explore and make discoveries.
It is our pleasure to partner with you on your child's educational journey. Our teachers are qualified instructors with a heart for service. They help the children to reach their potential through developmentally appropriate practices. Our staff is honored to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of our students, letting each one know that they are loved and valued by God and by their school family.
We hope that you will stop in to see the excellent quality program we have offered for over 30 years.
Peace,
Phyllis Steele
