Outdoor play is an important part of our program. In bad weather, they play in the spacious St. Mark fellowship hall. We have three or four field trips each year. Typically these include a visit to an apple orchard in the fall, plus outings to a farm, the Children's Museum at the University of Virginia Medical Center, even a guided tour through the Krispy Kreme donut shop. Individual parent-teacher conferences can be arranged at any time.
Parents are also welcome to visit during school hours.
We would also encourage any parent to share his or her talents, hobbies or interests with the school. All staff members are required to have a college degree and are professional teachers with experience. St. Mark Preschool admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs.
