 The Clifton School Spring Tour
Saturday May 2, 2009

The Clifton Schools serve the benefits-eligible employees of Emory University, Emory Healthcare, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and the Centers for Disease Control and full-time Emory students. Our purpose is to provide the best possible child care and learning experiences for children, and to act as a family support system. The Schools are licensed by the State of Georgia and nationally accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

The Clifton School is a non-profit corporation, managed by a Board of Directors composed of representatives of Emory, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and the CDC. Daily operations are administered by the School's Director.

Our Mission
We at The Clifton Schools are moving into the future to enhance positive and professional relationships within the Clifton community. We are committed to a mutually respectful, supportive, and relaxing way of working and being together to create the best possible learning environment for our children.

In our collaboration, we will:

• recognize and nurture the stories, experiences and learning potential that enrich our image of the child.

• provide an environment rich with materials that enable children to express their ideas and explore their experiences.

• observe, listen, question and interact with the children, acting as researchers.

• document the children's work as it progresses.

• recognize parents and include them as an integral part of the educational process.

• provide a comfortable home-like environment filled with opportunities for communicating and relating.

• learn more about the Reggio Philosophy through discussion, meeting, study and collaboration.
