We have simple hopes for every child enrolled here: that they know they are loved; that they are truly respected; that their days are filled with wonder, laughter and discovery; and that they are fully prepared for their first steps in their elementary school education, whether at a public, private or charter/magnet school.
We are open year round and have different schedule options to meet your family's particular needs. We enroll children who are at least 24 months of age until they are eligible to enroll in Kindergarten. Saint Mark's 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.

What We Believe
Report
Our program is based on this statement and on the developmental and spiritual needs and experiences of young children. Each child is unique, with a unique approach to their world and a unique way of processing information. Each child learns in different ways and at differing paces, and we honor this and work within these realities.
Curriculum
Report
Curriculum is focused on social skills for the 2 and 3-year-olds, with an added portion of kindergarten readiness skills for the 4 and 5-year-olds (our Pre-K). We balance the requirements of both socially and academically preparing for elementary school. It is our goal that students leave Saint Mark's Preschool ready for school and with a love of learning.
Facility
Report
In addition to the five classrooms listed above, our facility has two wonderful yards (two of them!) for play and exploration. The front yard area includes an absolutely enormous sand pit with overhead awning, plus plenty of area for table play. It also features misters-a very popular thing in the hot summer months.
Fundraisers
Report
A fun-for-the-whole-family fundraiser is our Paint-a-Tile opportunity. Parents and children purchase a tile and paint whatever they want on it, using our special tile paint. We glaze the tiles and then install them on the walls of our preschool, providing a lasting happy memory for us of your child and family, and passing on the legacy of Saint Mark's Preschool.
Church
Report
Saint Mark's Episcopal Church is beautifully situated at a boundary between the urban and the suburban in Glendale.
We are known for our beautiful garden, open every day, all day to any who might want a peaceful place to rest awhile; for our red doors swung wide open, every day and all day, to any who might want to enter in and pray; for our bronze life-size statue of Jesus carrying his cross, which has become a pilgrimage site of sorts for many residents of Glendale who stop to reverence it, bring flowers of adoration, even buckets of water to lovingly wash Jesus' face.
