The First Presbyterian Day School is located downtown, near the city's waterfront. It serves children from age 2-pre-kindergarten. The school building is part of the First Presbyterian Church complex, tucked behind the church building. The popular day school largely serves worshippers and families who live in the Old Northeast. The mission is to meet the emotional, educational and spiritual needs of the young children. Class size is small with a teacher and assistant in each room. There also is a parent advisory council that stays active in the day school and its activities. The school has been in operation for over 40 years.
