Methodist Day School 388 1st Avenue South, Naples, FL 34102

Methodist Day School (MDS) is a premier non-profit preschool located at 388 1st Avenue South in Naples, Florida. As a ministry of the First United Methodist Church, MDS has been dedicated to providing high-quality care and education to young children in a Christian environment since 1961. Our experienced and loving staff, who are CPR/First Aid certified, create a nurturing atmosphere where children aged 2 to 5 can flourish and grow.

At MDS, we offer a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on social-emotional development, physical activity, language skills, cognitive abilities, literacy, math, science, technology, social studies, and the arts. Our program is designed to prepare students for Kindergarten, including the Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) program. We follow the Collier County School Calendar and use the Creative Curriculum to enhance learning.

Our spacious playground provides a safe and fun environment for children to play and develop gross motor skills. Children also have the opportunity to attend chapel twice a month with Pastor Scott, where they engage in interactive Bible stories, music, and songs. Many families have shared their positive experiences with MDS, praising the dedicated teachers and hands-on curriculum that have set their children up for success.
