Our Philosophy
"Our family absolutely loves St. Jude's Preschool!! Our 2nd child will be attending in the fall, and I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my children!! It is truly a hidden gem in Rochester!"
Jennifer Paolucci
"As an early Ed/Special Ed teacher....and a very protective Mama....I observed 6 local preschools. This is the school I chose for my precious little girls. Anna just completed her first year and without any hesitation as a teacher and mom, I am confidently enrolling Anna into the four year old program and Gracie in the three year old program! For people that know me, you know my expectations are pretty high to say the least. Mrs. Grant met every single one!!!"

our Age Requirement
"St Jude's offers an exceptional preschool program for both 3 and 4 year old children. The teachers at this school are truly amazing and have provided my daughter with a strong educational foundation as she enters kindergarten. It has been a wonderful experience sending her to St Jude's for the past 2 years, and I look forward to my son sharing the same experience!"
Lisa Brown
The building opened in 1999. We have a full size gym, restaurant style kitchen, and separate snack and play areas. Our three spacious classrooms are clean, bright, and child friendly.
"The teachers at this preschool are wonderful!! As a recently retired teacher, I highly recommend this school!!"

All children must be completely toilet trained before they start our program.

"After sending my son to a 3 yr old program at another school and having a bad experience, St Jude's was a blessing! The teacher's Loved my son and treated him like their own! He LOVED school and is beyond prepared for Kindergarten! Couldn't ask for a better school. If you have a 3 or 4 Year old get them signed up! You will Love it just as much as we do!"
