Welcome to HopeMark!
We are a secular preschool for 3 to 5 year olds located on the corner of Francis Park. We follow a traditional school year September thru May and have three different programs to best serve each age group. Come play with us and see how we have been cultivating kind, confident, and prepared children since 1971!
When should my child start preschool?

Social and Emotional Development:
Preschool can be an enriching experience for your child when they show signs of social readiness. If your little one enjoys interacting with other children, it's a positive indicator. Additionally, if they are trying to express their emotions and needs, it suggests emotional maturity and they are ready to build on those thoughts! Preschool will help to hone in on social and emotional skills.
Curiosity and Independence:

A natural curiosity and budding independence are key indicators that your child might be ready for the preschool adventure. If they show interest in exploring new things, ask questions about the world around them, and express a desire to do tasks independently, it's a positive sign. Preschool environments encourage curiosity and foster independence, making this developmental stage ideal for your child's growth.

Basic Cognitive and Motor Skills:
Keep an eye on your child's cognitive and motor skills development. If they can follow simple instructions, engage in basic problem-solving, and show interest in books, it's an excellent time to consider preschool. Additionally, basic motor skills such as holding a marker, using scissors, and dressing themselves are valuable capabilities that will be further strengthen in a preschool setting.
We would love to have you in the HopeMark Community!
