St. Mark's Nursery School, located in Rockville Centre, New York, is a non-profit organization owned and operated by its members - the parents. The school is registered with the New York State Department of Education and licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. We provide 3 and 4-year-old programs and extended day options, as well as 2-Year-Old Young Explorers, Together, Transition, and Separation classes.

 

​Our nursery school is special because we are a "cooperative." Our school is run by the families whose children attend classes. A cooperative nursery school represents the joint effort of parents and educators to provide young children with the best possible experiences for growth and development.

 

​Parents and/or caregivers participate in the classroom on a rotating basis for each child's "special day," and can expect to come to class four times a year.

 

Parents also serve on one of many committees that help run the school, ranging from Fundraising to Hospitality.  We strive to accommodate all families' different needs and schedules.
