Saint Mark'S Preschool

Overview

Saint Mark's Preschool is a small, community-based early childhood center serving children from 18 months through transitional‑kindergarten/kindergarten entry. The program operates year‑round and offers different schedule options for families.

Educational approach

The curriculum is play‑based and emergent, with much of the daily learning taking place outdoors on two yards and in a children's garden. Instruction emphasizes development across areas such as science, mathematics, executive function, motor skills, social‑emotional growth, language, cultural awareness, and creative expression.

Facilities and daily life

Outdoor learning spaces include two yards and a landscaped children’s garden that are used regularly for curriculum activities.
Classrooms are equipped to warm family‑packed lunches; the school maintains a no‑nut policy (sunflower seed or almond butter permitted as alternatives).
Immunization documentation and a physician’s form are required prior to a child’s first day, with medical exemptions handled according to California law.
Staffing ratios and class sizes are published: 1:6 in younger rooms and 1:8 in pre‑K classrooms; younger rooms are capped at 12 students and pre‑K classrooms at 16 students.

Family support and fees

Tuition is billed monthly through an online family account system; ACH and bank check payment options are used. The school publishes calendars and daily schedules for families and offers a limited number of need‑based scholarships each year (ranging from 15% to 40% of published tuition rates).
