September Executive Director Updates
September 2024 Updates
Welcome to The Clifton School! We are glad you want to learn more about us! The Clifton School’s mission is to provide state of the art childcare and education for employees of Emory, CHOA, and the Centers for Disease Control and full-time Emory students that recognizes and respects the rights of children, early childhood educators, and families.
The Clifton School is a full-day, year-round program for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. We also offer summer camp for children ages 5 to 9. Our school has two site locations near Emory University in Atlanta, GA. One is on Clifton Road and the other on Clairmont Road.
Hours of Operation: The Clifton School’s hours of operation are 7:00AM-6:00PM.
SCHOOL CLOSURE: DUE TO EXPECTED SEVERE WEATHER FROM HURRICANE HELENE’S IMPACT, TCS WILL BE CLOSED ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, AND FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27.
Both locations are licensed by the State of Georgia. The Clairmont & Clifton Road Sites are both nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). As a not-for-profit corporation, we are managed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives of Emory, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Our daily operations are administered by the Executive Director and the Site Directors.

May 2024 Updates
Due to expected severe weather from Hurricane Helene’s impact, TCS will be closed on Thursday, September 26, and Friday, September 27.
During times of inclement weather, both schools will be open. They will be staffed by as many employees as possible, depending on the number of employees who can safely travel. However, in the event that BOTH Emory and CDC close, announce a later opening time or an early closing time, we will do so as well. In the event that the weather should turn icy during the day, we request that parents pick up their children as soon as possible, so that our teachers are able to travel home safely. This information will be relayed through our calling post, email listserv, posted on our website and when possible local news channels.
If your child is experiencing symptoms of the
COVID-19 virus or test positive for the respiratory illness please notify your
child’s teacher and plan to follow the current recommendations:
It’s important to know that the emergency warning signs of
respiratory virus complications can be different in children. Seek immediate
medical care for any of the following:
Updated Sick Child Policy: If a child has any of the following symptoms, they must be excluded from the childcare setting and can return after 24 hours of being symptom-free.
If one of the symptoms is a fever, they must remain fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication and can return with a doctor’s note.
