"The Ark Preschool has been a home away from home for our son. The staff makes you feel like one of the family. As a parent, I know that he is in experiences, caring hands all day long. I find the Ark to be the perfect mix of curriculum and fun."

- Dayna & Erik Taylor

"We are really pleased with The Ark School. The teachers are really wonderful with the kids. We love trusting that our son is well looked after, learning and having lots of fun. We like it so much that our 14 month-old will be starting in January."

- Veronica Horton Ralph


STAFF:

Our teaching staff is composed of experienced, qualified teachers and support aides for each age group. The Ark maintains a maximum teacher-to-child ratio of:

  • 1:5 for toddlers
  • 1:7 for 2's and 3's
  • 1:12 for our Pre-Kindergarten

CLASSROOM STRUCTURE:

The majority of children are transitioned from one classroom to the next as a group according to when the children are eligible to enter Kindergarten. The Livermore school district's cut-off date for eligibility is November 2nd. Children in our program are considered for transition according to their developmental abilities and maturation level as well as upon space availability in the next classroom.

Each of our classrooms follows a basic schedule. The schedule is the same for each class, only the time frame is different. We do this so as a child moves from one class to the next class, they are familiar with the routine and only the classroom and the teacher are different. Because we do many large-group activities, your child will become familiar with our entire staff.
