three and a half years until your child is ready for Kindergarten
Three Young Investigators classrooms support our preschool-aged children as they prepare to transition to elementary school. We like to say that we “Lay the Foundation” for the house that elementary school will be built on.
We focus on foundational social-emotional, physical, cognitive, and literacy skills that we target through play and project-based work. Each classroom is free to explore topics that interest them, answer questions that relate to their experiences, and solve problems through project that they imagine, plan, and construct. We support students to become the best versions of themselves – kind, resilient, confident, and key co-contributors in their school experience. And we do all of this through PLAY!
Our Young Investigator rooms spend 3-4 hours outside each day, as we believe in the power of nature as a guiding force for learning.
St. Mark Lutheran Preschool is proud to host a play area that is certified as a Nature Explore Classroom.
