Montessori preschool in Dallas for ages 18 months-K with individualized learning and support for children with learning differences
St. James Episcopal School in Dallas serves young children ages 18 months through kindergarten with a Montessori approach that emphasizes individualized learning. The school explicitly supports learning difference programs within the Montessori classroom environment, making it a valuable option for families seeking early intervention and differentiated instruction for children with diverse learning needs.
The Montessori integrated curriculum is built on one-on-one attention for each child, allowing teachers to observe and respond to individual developmental pace and learning style—a model that works well for children with learning differences, ADHD, or those who benefit from hands-on, self-directed learning. With small class sizes and a total enrollment of 305 students across all programs, children receive personalized support as they develop foundational skills.
St. James offers flexible program options including a five-day toddler program (18 months–3 years), four primary classrooms (ages 3–6), and a Mother's Day Out program for younger learners. The school operates on a rolling admissions basis, and families interested in learning more about how their child's specific needs can be supported should contact Admissions Director Loree Birkenback at (214) 348-1349 or visit stjamesdallas.org.
