St. Mark Lutheran Preschool

For more than fifty years, the curriculum at St. Mark Preschool has been centered on the guiding principle that children learn through play.

Our developmentally appropriate programs incorporate “best practices” from well-known early childhood curricular approaches, such as Reggio, Montessori and Waldkindergarten. We strive together to create a curriculum that reflects current research in early childhood education and what we know about how young children learn, grow and develop. Highlights of our program:

-Open year round Monday-Frida

y, from 7:00am - 5:30pm
-Open during inclement weather (Closing only when UVA closes)
-Safe, clean environment
-Experienced, professional staff
-Fresh, healthy snacks provided daily
-One rate includes all programs and activities.
-Program partners with parents to meet the needs of the child.
-Small group sizes and low teacher to child ratios.
-Close to UVA, UVA Medical Center

St. Mark Lutheran Preschool welcomes all people, regardless of race, gender, sexual identity, ethnicity, faith, or national origin. We believe that all people are beloved children of God. We invite you to contact our director, Katie Plumb, and make an appointment to learn more about St. Mark Lutheran Preschool’s curriculum and community.

Today was bittersweet as we said goodbye to our director Ms. Katie. Thank you Katie Plumb for the love, patience, and care you showed to our children, families, and staff. We all wish you the best as you head off on your new adventure.

💛 Join Us in Celebrating Ms. Katie! 💛

The Preschool Committee and Mission Council invite all of our preschool families, past and present, to stop by the preschool on Thursday, July 23, anytime between 3:30 and 4:30 p.m., as we celebrate and thank Katie Plumb for her four years of faithful leadership and dedication to our preschool.

As Katie begins an exciting new chapter teaching preschool in Augusta County, she'll have the opportunity to be closer to home and spend more time with her family. While we will certainly miss her, we're grateful for the lasting impact she has made on our school and are excited for what's ahead.

If you'd like to encourage Katie as she prepares her new classroom, she has created an Amazon Wishlist with supplies to help her get started. Amazon gift cards are also greatly appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/MXTXGO2KCZP5?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_ggr-subnav-share_7T1T0J5FC8JT2YPH5CQT_1&language=en-US

If you're unable to attend the farewell gathering but would still like to bless Katie with a gift card, cash gift, or classroom supplies, you may leave them with Ms. Tami or Ms. Shannon at the preschool.

We hope you'll join us as we celebrate Katie and thank her for the love, leadership, and care she has given our preschool community. 💐
