We are thrilled to share comments from our Duke Memorial Weekday School Parents and Alumni. Take a look at what people are saying about our school.
I am so, so grateful for the years my two children spent at Duke Memorial Weekday School. DMWS gave my children the safe and loving environment they needed to learn and grow. The teachers at DMWS went above and beyond to care for them and teach them, and our family has so many happy memories from our time at this wonderful school.

DMWS has been such a wonderful preschool for our family. We have been at DMWS at every age level, including Kindergarten. Our kids have thrived there- we have had the kindest, most nurturing and loving teachers & staff. Their preschool days are filled with play, outdoor time, music, fitness, art, books and so many other fun activities, along with structured times that are preparing them for school in the future. We love the community and the amazing history of preschool and kindergarten at Duke Memorial!

I am a proud parent of a child at DMWS. My husband also attended preschool here 30+ years ago and we both can’t say enough wonderful things about the program. My daughter is excited to go to school every day and has been blessed each year with loving and caring teachers. DMWS has created a warm, friendly, educational and FUN environment for my child to grow. As my daughter moves on to elementary school next fall, we are grateful that DMWS provided her with a solid foundation for academic success in years to come!
Thanks,
~Jenn
DMWS has provided a nurturing and engaging learning environment for both of my children from the time they enrolled at the age of 2 through kindergarten. The teachers and staff are fully committed to helping the students grow and learn and utilize fun and creative ways of teaching. I will always be so thankful that my children were able to receive their early childhood education at such a wonderful school.

“We can’t thank the teachers and leadership at Duke Memorial for the way they’ve embraced our family and cared for our children during preschool. Academically, my son was well prepared for elementary school”
