Testimonials
FROM OUR PARENTS
Beth H.
"There are a lot of choices for childcare and preschool in our city. However, they are not all created equal. Not all have the quality of care, structure, or curriculum you are looking for! But one place may....
'"I want to tell you about our AMAZING experience. My daughter has been at St. John's preschool for the last four years. The level of care and education she has received is nothing but astounding. The teachers are experienced caring people. Turnover is low at St. John's and the director takes care in placing the right person in each class.
"The class sizes are small, the school is quaint (nestled in the heart of downtown OS), and the education is centered around Christian belief. If you are looking for placement for your little one for next year, I can't stress this enough. Give them a call! Tour the school and meet these wonderful people."

"We had the BEST experience at St. John's. Every preschool in Ocean Springs has its own flair. I credit St. John's and Mrs. Jean for giving my children a solid foundation in education and for teaching them how to read."

"Mrs. Jean is an amazing Director, and has phenomenal experience in Education. My son attended St. John's many years ago and I had the pleasure of working for Mrs. Jean for 7 years. She's hands down the absolute best boss I've ever had. Juanita is a very gifted teacher, and she loves what she does. I'm blessed to call both of these ladies friends."
