E-mail: children@cmc.eduThe Children’s School at Claremont McKenna College is a very unique private school. It was founded in 1936 as the Mary B. Eyre Children’s School, and was located on the campus of Scripps College until ten years ago. At that time, The Children’s School became part of Claremont McKenna College. CMC built the beautiful facility that currently houses the school, on the corner of Sixth St. and Claremont Blvd.
The school serves children from the age of 2 years through the third grade. The classes are housed in cottages that were designed specifically for the care of children of that age. Each class has up to18 children, with two or three staff teachers. These teachers are assisted by students from The Claremont Colleges. The college students may be volunteers, lab students taking related college courses, or work-study students.
The Children’s School is on a traditional school year calendar, from September through May for pre-school, and through June for Kindergarten through third grade. They have a spring pre-registration for currently enrolled families and then fill any vacancies from their list of new applicants.
