About the Provider

Description: The Claremont School offers a professionally designed, thematic curriculum; complete with lesson plans, assessments, progress reports, portfolios and newsletters for parents to use as a guide. We accept ages 6 weeks to Before and After School age children. Our hours are 7:00 am to 5:45 pm Monday through Friday. We are open year round! We also have observation cameras in each room, the playground and the parking lot.

Children learn through hands on play and structured activities in our well organized learning centers. Our classroom is organized into "learning environments." These are the places within our classroom where the children can find the toys and materials related by theme, interest, and skills. These activities and toys can be used independently by the children, or with teacher direction, to reinforce and enrich skills and concepts they need. Learning environments are an excellent way to individualize the curriculum to meet the varying needs of young children.
