The Presbyterian Day School has served families in the St Augustine area for more than fifty years. PDS excels in providing outstanding early childhood education. We are known for our love of children and our standard of educational exellence.

Our purpose is to prepare children for kindergarten in a Christian setting, teaching social skills and cognitive skills. We know that when children “graduate” from our preschool they have had much love and care, in a creative learning environment, and are well prepard for Kindergarten. We encourage the curiosity of children, and foster self-confidence as they grow and learn.

We have brief chapel services on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to help children know that they are greatly loved by God; to see the world and all God’s creation as something to be explored; and to encourage their understanding of God’s care and protection.

Our classes begin at 9:00 am and run untill noon, with the possibility of enrichment in the afternoon till 2:00 pm.

Our school is licensed by the State of Florida.
