St Mark’s Cooperative Nursery School

After a horrible experience at a different RVC preschool, St. Mark’s proves that there are caring, loving and knowledgeable teachers and staff in our local preschools. I wish I could give them 10 stars.

St. Mark’s is a cooperative where a parent is suppose to participate in the classroom. This gives the parent some wonderful time to spend with their child and watch them interact with their classmates and also allows you to learn who their friends are. I love being in the classroom. I find that the moms at St. Mark’s are very friendly and helpful towards each other since they get to know you and your child by being in the classroom. The class sizes are nice and small and have a great teacher to child ratio. You can tell that the teachers really care about each child and family that is in the school. This is my 3^rd child going through this school and I couldn’t imagine sending them anywhere else. The school offers enrichment programs such as Science and has a Kinder prep program for those who are not ready to move on to kindergarden. They also offer a mommy and me 2 year old program and a 2.5 year old drop off program. I believe that many people don’t have the right idea about what you have to do at a cooperative. People are like oh no your going to be doing all this work. One is required to be on a committee to help out but really you can be involved as little or as much as you like. Everyone is always there to help you out if you need it. I believe that they are only little for so long and it is a fair trade to help in the school to be able to share in these precious moments because before you know it they are in elementary school where you can not go and see what they are doing. I highly recommend St. Mark’s for your 2 to 5 year olds.
