Methodist Day School Preschool (MDS) and VPK

We have been nurturing and educating children since 1961 and We Love What We Do! We are the oldest preschool in Naples, Florida!

MDS was created to provide an environment which develops and nurtures each individual child’s growth and learning. MDS strives to meet the varied needs of today’s families. We are passionate about providing a loving atmosphere where children from all backgrounds can flourish and grow.

 

 

Our premiere preschool serves children 2 through 5 years of age. We are equipped with a loving and experienced staff that has been nationally background screened, and holds certification in CPR/First Aid. Our talented teaching team have outstanding educational credentials, experience and other advanced certifications in the field of early childhood education. Our staff is provided with ten hours of training annually on our campus. Our teachers are the cornerstone of our program. Many of our teachers have been with us for over 15 years. We praise God for all of them!

Our program is set up to continue to build on the learning blocks of the previous year until reaching Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten. VPK is a government-funded program to help prepare students for Kindergarten. Our school follows the Collier County School Calendar.
