Our goal at the Clackamas Day School can best be described by our logo. Overall, our mission is to capture the whimsical joy of being a child! The children represent sports, the arts, and the arts of play. Each child is adorned with a large heart, symbolizing the gateway in which love travels back and forth. The star symbol was incorporated to show how every child is a star. The physics symbol represents the math and science portion of their experience with us. The swirl is the Celtic symbol for “eternal youth”. The field of stars behind the children represents their bright future!
We believe that children learn and develop at different levels and are inspired in different ways. We stress individual goals and provide an opportunity for children to learn from one another while feeling that their views are respected. They grow in an environment that is loving and secure, where they are able to build close bonds with their peers and their care givers. We strive for an environment where families are honored and parents are vital to building our community relationships.
We build children’s problem-solving and reactive thinking skills through staff and child directed activities in our daily agenda.
The facility & team are great! Communication for my children's needs and concerns are wonderful! I'm always informed when they're low on diapers or wipes. My children enjoy the kids and staff, which makes morning drop-offs much easier and smoother. I also like and appreciated the security measures they have, to help keep my children safe.

We’ve had an amazing experience at Clackamas Day School the past year and a half. It’s never easy sending your baby to childcare, but I always felt comfortable with all of the teachers and staff here. I appreciate that they make an effort to both decorate and do fun activities for Holiday’s for the kids as well!

We have had our children at CDS for the last four years and have consistently been impressed by the staff's compassion and how they take the time to get to know every child as a unique individual. We appreciate their excellent communication and collaboration. Our boys always look forward to going to daycare in the morning!
