St. Mark's Preschool
Our Preschool has been a vital part of the ministry of St. Mark's since 1973, and it's been our privilege to serve the families and children of this neighborhood over the last four decades.
Our Purpose Beyond our commitment to preparing children for Kindergarten, St. Mark's Preschool is also committed to introducing children to Jesus, that they would come to know him as Savior and as One who loves them unconditionally, just as they are. In this environment each child is treated as a special creation of God with his or her own needs and interests. All activities are planned with this in mind. Faith development is at the core of the curriculum and is an essential part of growth along with physical, social, intellectual, and emotional development. PRESCHOOL REGISTRATION Please contact the school at 303-366-5089 if you, or someone you know, is looking for a fun and nurturing learning environment for your child ages 3-5 (or complete the contact form below). We're always glad to welcome new kids into our community! Registration begins each February for the upcoming school year, and we then accept registrations on a "space-available" basis from that point forward. Our license with the State of Colorado, Department of Human Services allows us to begin enrolling children who are 2 1/2 years of age and above. We request that children be "potty-trained" prior to attending. The school is open three days per week, Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00am - 1:00pm. We are happy to provide tours of our school during these times. No appointment is required during this time-frame. If you would like to stop by after these hours, please call or e-mail using the form below to request an appointment. |
Our Approach 1. Focusing on the whole child: Emotional, social, intellectual, physical and spiritual growth is nurtured. The well-being of the children in our highest priority. 2. Learning by doing: Children engage in hands-on experiences, including art, music, dance, drama, storytelling, exploring nature, early literacy, math and science. All senses are incorporated. 3. Appreciating the uniqueness of each child: Childhood is a journey, not a race. Children develop at different rates and in different ways. Experiences and activities are geared for 3-5 year olds at their varying stages of development. 4. Developing positive relationships and interpersonal skills: Through experiences and daily work and play with others, children learn about cooperation, sharing, kindness, empathy towards others, and ways of resolving differences peacefully. Good manners and responsibility are taught and encouraged. 5. Partnering: St. Mark's Preschool values its partnerships with families, the congregation, and our larger community. Families will always be invited and welcome to participate in the life of the church. 6. Providing a foundation for a life-long love of learning! Mission Statement: St. Mark's Preschool is dedicated to providing a safe and loving Christian environment where all children are given the opportunity to develop their readiness for school and life through the guidance of a dedicated and professional staff. Guiding Principles: 1. Children are active learners 2. Each child learns in unique ways. 3. Learning is most meaningful when it is integrated across all areas of development. 4. Learning is continuous and sequential. 5. Development and learning are rooted in culture and supported by the family. |
