Preschool Director’s Message
Welcome to St. Mark’s Lutheran Preschool!
As the Preschool Director, I can tell you that doing what is in the best interest of our students is the driving force behind how we operate. I truly believe that special people are the catalyst for special schools. We are blessed with a dedicated and loving Preschool staff who guide our children to work hard and play hard, so that they are well prepared for Elementary school. We also have a wonderful community of parents who are deeply concerned about their child’s education and well-being. These qualities help create the warm and caring family environment we strive to maintain for our children and staff.
Please use the "Schedule A Tour" button on the website or contact the school office if you would like to make an appointment to tour our school.
Once a Lion, Always a Lion!
