Our Purpose
The purpose of The St. Mark’s Ark is to share the love of Christ in our community by providing loving care, quality education, and support for children and families through an early childhood education center. The Ark is an integral part of our church’s ministry to our community, and welcomes children from diverse social and economic backgrounds, without regard to race, color, religion, or ethnic background.

Our Curriculum
St. Mark’s Ark is proud to implement a comprehensive, multi-age, and research-based curriculum called Pinnacle. Pinnacle uses developmentally appropriate programs and activities to engage children of all ages from 0-5 years old. Equally important, Pinnacle is a faith-based curriculum, supplementing weekly themes and learning objectives with faith-based activities.
