As a cooperative school, parents play an important part in the school's operation by assisting the classroom teacher as "helping parent". This provides a comfortable atmosphere where the children can grow  intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Ultimately it provides for the opportunity for parents to gain insight into their child's pre-school experience.

Children may be enrolled on a limited or non co-op basis.  We maintain our open door policy and welcome visits ~ no appointment necessary.

Our school is non-profit non-sectarian organization managed by a Board of Directors consisting of parents, members of St. Mark's staff, and the school staff.  It is supported entirely by student tuition. The school is licensed by the NJ Department of Human Services.

All of our teachers are certified in Early Childhood Education or CDA, and they are qualified by their personal philosophy, aptitude, and expirience to teach young children. Our staff also includes a Treasurer/Registrar who registers pupils, recieves tuitions, and maintains all financial records.
