St. Mark's Day School is situated in the beautiful, rolling countryside of Barrington Hills. We provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your early learner. Since our first classes opened their doors in 1966, St. Mark's has been in high demand and has maintained its history of excellence. We offer a creative and engaging theme-based program where learning through our play-based environment is central.
Play-based learning is a teaching method in which children learn through what they do best - play. It encompasses both free play and teacher-directed play, with the nature of the play shaped by the child's initiative and the adult's involvement. In play-based learning settings, children are encouraged to pursue their interests, start activities, and be self-directed with guidance from teachers. Educators also use play to reinforce and practice skills and concepts that have been explicitly taught. Play allows children to manipulate the world around them, and encourages creativity and imagination…

Miles in Their Shoes
Health
📣 Every step you take helps lighten the load for a child in need. Let’s walk together. Let’s walk with heart. Let’s walk Miles in Their Shoes.
Miles in Their Shoes is a community walk raising awareness and support for local children in crisis, with symbolic elements that reflect the challenges many kids carry every day.
Miles in Their Shoes is more than a walk. It is a powerful in-person experience designed to foster empathy, raise awareness, and inspire action for children facing crisis in our community.
The event begins with a lap of silence, honoring the voices of children who often go unheard. As participants walk in quiet reflection, they carry backpacks to represent unseen burdens, navigate obstacles that mirror real-life barriers, and move past labels that too often define children in the system. Along the route, walkers encounter stories, symbols, and spaces that bring to life the emotional and physical weight many children carry every day.
At the end, participants come together for a final…
