T
he purpose of our Child Developement Center is to provide quality care, early
education and Christian nuturing for the children of St. Mark's Lutheran Church
and to provide the same services for other children in the community as if they
were our own. Part of the our Mission Statement is
"Letting the little children
come unto Him".
The Development Center reflects and supports the mission of
St. Mark's Lutheran Church,
"Proclaiming Christ's Abundant Love",
throughout its Christian education orientation
and through a valuable and needed community service.
S
t. Mark's Child Development Center is a learning center which strives to foster optimum
growth and development in children between the ages of two (2) and twelve (12). We
believe that young children need a nurturing, physically safe environment of Christian
love and acceptance in order to grow in all dimensions of their lives.
Established to meet the need for quality preschool education in this growing
community, our goal is to provide for children from all socioeconomic backgrounds
and ability levels. It is also to help children become healthy, thoughtful, responsible
and spiritual people as they grow into adulthood. We believe that the development
of a positive realistic self-image is important.
The center uses a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, Christian curriculum and establishes
a non-violent environment.
We consider the entire family to be important. We offer parent involvement
through classroom volunteering, parent education nights, potlucks special
family events programs and fundraisers.
St. Mark's Child Development Center admits students of any race, color
national and ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities
generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
