Duke Memorial Weekday School

Duke Memorial Weekday School Established as a nursery school in 1950, Duke Memorial Weekday School enrolls children, ages 2 to 5, and is staffed by a paid faculty.

Our emphasis is on building self-confidence and establishing an atmosphere of love, support, and security. Admission is open to all children, regardless of race, gender, or religious affiliation. Please call us at 919- 688-5130 if you have questions or would like to schedule a tour. We are a play-based preschool. Our curriculum reinforces hands-on activities that are developmentally geared and individually appropriate. The planned daily schedule balances indoor and outdoor activities, quiet and active time, periods when individual children choose their own activities, and child-initiated and adult-initiated activities.
