School Overview
Overview
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.
Mary Johnson Children's Center enrolls children from 18 months to 5 years of age.
Our curriculum is play based meaning that we believe children learn through play.
There is a strong emphasis on the natural world, so children spend time outside daily.
Physical development through activity is a significant part of the curriculum.
Children have opportunities to paint, sculpt, draw, write, sew, and engage in many creative outlets with their hands.
Developing social skills and independence are emphasized throughout the day.
