About Children's Day School

The Children’s Day School was established in 1947 (as the Christian Day School) to serve the needs of working families in the Greenwich area. In 2002, Christian Day School was renamed Children’s Day School (CDS) and expanded to open a second campus in Riverside. This expansion was a collaborative effort of the Junior League of Greenwich, the former Christian Day School, and the United Way of Greenwich to further provide affordable, quality, early child care in the town of Greenwich.

Children’s Day School welcomes all children regardless of race, color, creed, or ethnic origin. It is a co-educational, independent, non-denominational, non-profit preschool.

The primary purpose of this full day, year round learning environment is to provide an enjoyable and stimulating age-appropriate social and educational experience for children six-weeks to six-years of age.

CDS provides an atmosphere that fosters positive self-esteem and prepares the young child to enjoy a love of learning and to respect others. In particular, the school promotes independence and intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development.
