Mark West Community Preschool

My Daughter started Mark West Community when she turned 2. She will now be moving into the 3 year old class starting this summer. Previously before going here we had her in a in home daycare which we were very unhappy with so I was determined to find the best place for her to go! After looking at numerous daycare/​preschool facilities I walked into this school and knew right away that it was the one! It was perfect and now that she has been there for over a year I cannot tell you how amazing this school is, I have zero anxiety leaving her to go to work and know she is in the best hands;) The kids get to help make food some of the food is from there own garden that the kids participate in as well. They have goats and chickens! The outdoor area is huge and wonderful. They also have a very loving calm nap time and a great art studio. Ok well I could go on and on, this school is unique and just truly the best!

We LOVE Mark West! We adore the directors and all the teachers. When your child is in school full time it’s so important that it be the right fit. Our son has learned so much in just 6 months– letters, numbers, some Spanish, songs, cooking etc. More importantly he has learned kindness. The kids have daily meetings about things like what to do about broken toys etc and the kids all come up with respectful plans. He is so happy there and thriving. I also think its neat that the teachers he started with when he was 2.5 will be his teacher every year– they all move together to the different classrooms– it’s nice because he’s gotten so close with them. The space for the school is amazing. They have a huge back play area with a garden, chickens and soon goats. In addition to the creative classrooms there is a kid friendly kitchen and a beautiful art studio. Our family feels very lucky to have found this amazing school.

My 2.5 year old daughter currently attends Mark West Community Preschool, and I am so happy with my decision to enroll her.
I have been a stay at home mom, and her transition has not been an easy one, but the staff has been so amazing and helpful. They really focus on the individual child and work with both the child and the parent to really create a comfortable environment.
My daughter comes home and talks about how much she loves her teachers, and even told us today that her teacher Maria was her «best friend». I couldn’t be happier.
