Welcome to First Presbyterian Day School!
We are a full-time, 5-star, and Nationally Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, child care center for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years old. FPDS is a nonprofit, non-religious program, which has been in the heart of downtown Durham since 1970. We offer a safe and nurturing place for children of all racial, ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn, play, and grow together.
We are conveniently located on the DATA bus line, and within easy driving and walking distance of:
American Tobacco Campus
The West Village apartments
Trinity Park
Duke Regional Hospital
Durham's great downtown neighborhoods
We hope you’ll join our family!
““I would absolutely recommend FPDS. The teachers are amazing. The program is small and intimate. The playground allows for fresh air and exploration every day. And the location is perfect for us — we can walk to school!””
