Welcome to the Children’s Day School website! We’re so glad you’ve visited.
Since 1946, Children’s Day School has been providing a safe, high-quality, developmentally
appropriate and enriching learning environment to educate and care for young children ages
two months through five years old. Our early childhood early care and education program
adheres to the highest quality standards and implements principles and guidelines driven by the
National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the latest early
childhood research of best practice. We are licensed childcare center by the state of
Connecticut Office of Early Childhood.
The first five years of a child’s life are arguably the most important. During the first year of an
infant’s life, their brain doubles in size. During the first five years, 90% of a child’s brain
develops. These primary years are the time to instill a love for learning and a strong
socioemotional foundation in children. At Children’s Day School, this is our goal.
Children’s Day School is a supportive, thriving community of caring educators and motivated
learners. We value relationships. We value trust. We value communication. We strive for
nothing less than the highest standards in early childhood care and education.
We welcome you and your child to our community.
COVID-19 Response
The 2020-2021 school year is unlike any other. Although we are still in the midst of a pandemic,
we are proud to be a part of the Greenwich community in Connecticut, the state with the most
successful response in mitigating the virus.
At Children’s Day School, health and safety are paramount. We are doing our part to stop the
spread and strictly adhere to guidelines provided by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and
the state of Connecticut Office of Early Childhood (OEC). All employees wear masks and follow
enhanced cleaning protocols.
In order to limit the number of people entering the building, our school is currently offering virtual
tours via our website during the 2020-2021 school year. Health checks are performed daily at
the entrance for all children and employees, and parents drop off and pick up children at the
main entrance. Only children and CDS educators are permitted to enter the facility at this time in
order to limit the number of people entering the building. Despite these difficult circumstances,
remarkably, young children are extremely resilient and are quickly adapting to these new
protocols.
Although circumstances may not be the most favorable, our program continues to provide high
quality educational and enrichment experiences for children while making creative
accommodations to limit contact and cross-contamination between children. Children and
teachers maintain the same cohort with no overlapping areas other than the playground, which
is disinfected in between use. Each classroom and common area has an air purifier and
cleaning methods have been enhanced. As a result of these protocols, we have been able to
maintain a safe and healthy environment for all.
We look forward to meeting you and your child.
