A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
Allowing your child to participate in a preschool program is one of the best gifts you can give your child. Your child will become more self-reliant and more confident in their abilities. We believe we have an excellent program with an outstanding staff. We invite you to look over our program, ask plenty of questions, visit us and select a preschool that meets the needs of your family.
There are many outstanding preschools to choose for your child; what makes St. Mark’s so special?
- It may be our rich history of teaching children for over 20 years.
- Perhaps it’s our traditional approach to nurturing mind, body and spirit in an environment that promotes the "fun of learning".
- Using what has worked in the past and building on it year after year by hiring exceptional teachers with degrees in education and years of commitment to St. Mark's.
- Keeping the average student/teacher ratio of less than eight and encouraging parental involvement throughout the year.
- Our day is filled with songs, crafts, snacks, enrichment lessons, creative play and physical opportunities.
- Simply put, we are a traditional preschool where lifelong learning begins.
