Our Purpose and Values
Our purpose is to provide a loving and understanding Christian atmosphere in order to foster the best development for your child. We strive to provide experiences in creativity, exploration, music, motor activities, listening, free indoor and outdoor play, group games, and activities for each child. Believing that each child is a child of God, we are called to minister to all children and their families as they develop spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, and intellectually.
We are a tight-knit community made up of diverse individuals. We strive to provide a tolerant and loving environment, not just for the children, but parents as well. It is important for us that we provide a stable environment for your family and we realize that having a low student:teacher ratio is key in this. This allows for everyone to really get to know one another and develop the long-lasting relationships we pride ourselves in.
Staff
Our staff is made up of highly qualified, experienced and nurturing women who love children. All of our teachers have had one or more children enrolled in our program throughout the years! Each member is certifed in CPR and First Aid, completes 15 hours of training in child development per year and follows licensing standards.
Curriculum
We have monthly themes that are broken down into weekly themes. These themes are related to the seasons, children's interests and general topics that in time will prepare them for pre-K.
On Tuesdays, the Three year old, Four year old and Pre-K classes go to chapel. They listen to a Bible story and then sing a song about the story. At the end, we say a prayer related to the theme, the weather, or any other special requests.
During the year, we celebrate Christian holidays, birthdays, go on field trips, and have special visitors. The church also has events that the school participates in.
Miscellaneous Information
We follow Austin Independent School District (AISD) holidays. Monthly newsletters, calendars, and individual class notes are sent home to keep parents notified about events. We have a board that meets once a month to discuss school policies and decisions regarding the children.
Licensing
St. Mark Children's Day Out has been licensed by Child Protective Services.
