We are a private Christian preschool program dedicated to early learning and spiritual growth. Families may choose from 3-day or 5-day enrollment options for children ages 18 months through 5 years. For families needing a longer weekday schedule, we also offer extended-day options that provide a safe, nurturing environment for students beyond the core preschool program.
Our school offers opportunities far beyond the typical preschool program. In addition to our classroom learning, FMDS provides daily music classes, weekly chapel, regularly scheduled art classes, and engaging schoolwide programs and performances—all included at no additional cost to families. Throughout the year, we also welcome parents, grandparents, and members of our community to take part in special events that celebrate learning and fellowship.
We believe in creating experiences that take learning and enrichment far beyond the classroom. To further serve families, we also offer an optional summer ‘day camp’ program for children 18 months through 9 years of age
We are fully operational (with the exception of hot lunch service) and relocated to First Baptist Church in Downtown Marshall while our home campus at First Methodist Church is under renovation.
Our God is doing great things!

First Methodist Day School is a weekday mission of the First United Methodist Church in Marshall, Texas. We strive to meet the needs of young children and families by providing a safe, nurturing, Christian environment through an educational program that addresses all areas of development (intellectual, social, physical, emotional, and spiritual). FMDS was founded in 1933 in the home of Alice Womack Chatham. Alice’s Wonderland started with one kindergarten class, and in 1947 the school relocated to the church. This was one of the first schools in Marshall to specialize in Pre-Kindergarten education. Since then, FMDS has continued to add opportunities for children to safely learn and grow in a Christian environment. The school now has nine classes of students ranging from eighteen months of age through five years old. FMDS continues to strive to make early childhood development both educational and fun!
