First Presbyterian Day School

As a Reggio Emilia inspired school, quality educators foster a child-led, nurturing and natural environment where children grow into capable, competent, and life-long learners. All families with young children are welcome at The First Presbyterian Day School.  

We are open year round from 7:45 AM-5:15 PM with our school year beginning each August. The Day School is licensed by the South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS License No: 14866) and holds an ABC Quality rating through South Carolina’s statewide quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) for early care and education providers.

The Day School is a Reggio Emilia inspired school.  It is governed by the ideas that very young children are competent and capable learners. The curriculum emerges following the lead of the children and their interests as they explore and discover through a long term project approach to learning. The program flourishes on relationships among children, teachers, parents and the environment. 

Staff members support each child and the development of their creative, social and intellectual potential.  We focus on building meaningful relationships with parents and coordinate child-rearing practices and expectations.
