Blessings to You!
Welcome to St. Mark's Lutheran Preschool. We look forward to participating in your child’s growth and working with you in preparing him or her for the future. We focus on each child’s physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual development. The St. Mark’s experience is meant to provide the opportunity for each child to learn and grow at his or her own pace in a Christian environment. Thank you for sharing this very special time in your child’s life with us. Please feel free to contact us with any special concerns, family changes, questions, and comments throughout the year. Love in Christ, Stephanie Mattingly, Director mattinglysk920@gmail.com Preschool office: 704-746-9804 |
Aims
Simply stated, our aims are: A. To teach children about God; to lead them to Jesus, their Savior; to help them to know that God is with them all the time. B. To teach them to share, to express themselves, to learn responsibility by putting away toys and equipment, to help each other, to be kind and considerate, and to teach them that learning is fun. C. To prepare children for school by learning certain skills in phonics, manuscript writing, pre-school math, and reading. |

Preschool Events
(***We do other exciting things along the way but this is just a highlight of some of our amazing activities.)
Chapel: Students spend 15 minutes once a week in the sanctuary with one of the Pastors learning and hearing about God’s love.
Music: Three days per week, students sing and dance and sing seasonal songs and prepare for our Christmas and Spring programs.
Parties: We have themed parties around holiday times. Parents are invited to come in and enjoy some time with us.
Red, White and Blue Day: We honor 9/11 and show our support by wearing patriotic colors.
Halloween Parade: Dress up in your favorite costume and parade around the school. Parents join in on the fun.
Christmas Program: We invite parents in to listen to what the children have worked hard on in music. We play hand bells and recite Bible verses.
Egg Hunt: Who doesn’t love a good egg hunt? We spread out all around the church outside and hide eggs. Parents love to join in on the fun.
Spring Program: We join again to listen to the amazing songs we have learned. We pick out a few fan favorites from the kids to sing for the parents.
Graduation: A fun but sad day as we say “See Ya Later” to our graduating preschoolers. It full of fun and tears.
