St. Mark Preschool

Welcome to St. Mark Preschool

We are happy that you are sharing your child with us and we hope that his or her preschool experience will be an enjoyable and meaningful one.  Working together we can help your child develop his or her full potential.

 

St. Mark has a long history of preschool education for young children dating back to the late 1940s.  It started as a Kindergarten, then a nursery school, and now a preschool.  We renewed our commitment with a new beginning in September 2003 with the opening of a preschool for three and four year olds.

Our purpose is to introduce your child to a friendly, safe, and non-competitive learning environment where each child can become self-confident and enjoy learning. We also stress the nurture of beginning relationships away from the family structure. While providing a learning experience, we plan to give your child opportunities to associate socially with other children and to learn to relate to adults other than his or her parents.


We offer classes for both 3-4 Year Olds and 4-5 Year Olds.
