The Ark Preschool/Kindergarten strives to provide a quality education and social skills program for children ages 3, 4, and 5.
We believe parents are the first and most important educators of children.
We see each child and his/her family as unique; therefore, we strive to meet the individual needs in a respectful manner.
We strive to create a mutual respect between parents and teachers - a partnership for the benefit of the child.
