Since 1978, St. Mark Community Preschool has been a special place for children to begin their life’s journey of growth and change. Our Preschool recently went through its own exciting period of growth and change. The Preschool and its parent organization, St. Mark Presbyterian Church, recently opened a new campus at the corner of MacArthur Boulevard and San Joaquin Hills Road in Newport Beach. The Church’s funding only provided for Preschool facilities equivalent to those on our former campus – four classrooms and an office – but did not provide for our most urgent needs: two more classrooms, all new furnishings and equipment, and the new playground.

We're pleased to thank the 110-plus families who have contributed more than $320,000 (as of May, 2008) to furnish and equip the new preschool. We plan to pay the church back for the third cottage over the next several years with everyone's continued contributions and support.

Gifts of all sizes are welcome. Click here for a gift form, which may be printed out and returned to the preschool.

Join us in this important effort to make St. Mark Community Preschool’s unique formula of developmental and social learning available to current and future generations of young children in our community.

"We are so appreciative of the wonderful experiences our four children have had at the Preschool. We are making this gift to the new campus so that more children and families in this community will have the opportunity to benefit from the wonderful values and character traits that are emphasized and developed at the Preschool. Enabling more kids to attend St. Mark Community Preschool enhances our whole community." The David Seidner Family

“All our kids have gone to this Preschool, and our last one will start when he is old enough, hopefully at the new campus. The nurturing environment that Mary Hornbuckle and the teachers offer to all the children here makes a very real difference in their social development and their growth as individuals. We must keep that special quality alive at the new Preschool.” The Scott Green Family
