St. Mark's Kindergarten

St. Mark’s Kindergarten is operated by St.
Mark’s Episcopal Church. The Kindergarten
is governed by a Board appointed by the
Rector of the church and approved by the
Vestry of St. Mark’s. All actions of the
Kindergarten, including finances, securing of
teachers, and policies are subject to approval
by the Kindergarten Board.

OUR GOAL:
The Kindergarten’s goal is to help each child
reach his or her maximum potential and work
with others. We accept children as they are in
their own various stages of development. We
address the spiritual, physical, mental, social,
and emotional potential of each child. Our
Kindergarten helps each preschool child
develop a creative and inquiring mind, good
relations with people, and a loving awareness
of God.
