Sensory Awareness

• We at St. Mark’s Little Tot Children's Center encourage learning through play, group expression, and curiosity

• Through our senses, we learn about the world around us.

• With young children curiosity seems to thrive, and when children are curious their attention span and focus grow stronger without effort.

• Sensory awareness is encouraged through the use of natural materials, sensory play, movement, and time spent outdoors.

Joyful Discipline

• We want all children to be familiar with the freedom and confidence that comes from a joyful and redirecting sense of discipline.

• We want children to learn to practice self-discipline, which will, in turn, lead to independence and good choices when there is no one around to tell them otherwise.

Meaningful Experiences

Our Little Tots program offers a loving environment filled with exploratory play, music, art, faith, and family. Children will gain independence as they strengthen their skills in our “learn through play” philosophy.

• Play is a child’s work. Children are natural learners and tend to gravitate toward discovery on their own.

• Through play-based curriculum, children are given space to explore, observe, and wander their surroundings without being pressured to constantly engage in activities.
