Children'S All Day School

Children’s All Day School describes its philosophy as a developmental-interaction approach in a consistent, nurturing, and predictable environment where children build trust, socialize, and develop at their own pace. It emphasizes learning through play, hands-on experiences, and academics, while helping children gain independence, self-esteem, social skills, and the foundation for abstract and critical thinking.

Children’s All Day School asks families to apply online through Submittable for either Pre-Nursery or Pre-School, create a Submittable account, complete the form, and pay a $75 application fee; school tours are scheduled after a submitted application, and the contact page notes that tours require an application first. (childrensallday.org) The main published requirements are age-based: Pre-Nursery is for children ages 6 months to 1 year 11 months as of September 1, and Pre-School is for children ages 2 to 4 years as of September 1. (childrensallday.org) For timing, the site says applications and tours are handled based on availability, and admissions decisions are provided in early March; I did not find a separate posted application deadline on the current admissions page. (childrensallday.org) On waitlists, the website does not appear to publish a formal waitlist policy, instead emphasizing that applications and tours are offered only when space is available. (childrensallday.org) The only explicit priority category I found is that families with a relationship to an existing C.A.D.S. family may be eligible for Early Notification. (childrensallday.org)
