When you complain Mrs Bragg quickly becomes rude and dismissive. They won't honor simple requests like classroom changes or any other suggestions, regardless of the situation. The counselors shouldn't counsel a trash can, definitely not a child. Mrs Lauchlan is pretty good at accomplishing nothing. Mr Lawrence isn't certified and he has the maturity level of a 6th grader. Bottom line: Look at the test scores compared to other private schools. The kids complain about the lunch. The co-curricular and athletic options are good. Your kid will be bullied. Your kids will receive a public school education with perks. Don't waste your money.

I would highly recommend this school. I can only account for the 0-2 year old classes but look forward to continue bringing our son to this school. He is learning so much and having a blast. My husband and I have peace of mind leaving our little boy with his teachers while we are hard at work at our jobs.

There are always multiple activities going, and each time I've seen teachers directly interacting with children. As an early childhood professional, I'm impressed with the curriculum and philosophy of Clifton. I'm delighted with the variety of neat activities they do with INFANTS! Who knew so much could be done with babies who can't do more than lie there? It's also impressive & quite unusual that most teachers have been there for YEARS! In a profession with high turnover, that's key. It's readily apparent that the teachers genuinely love those children. I, too, have seen them shed tears when one leaves, or on the last day of their class's time with them. Most importantly, every time I'm there, I see HAPPY kids everywhere. This is a GREAT little school.

As of the writing of this review, there is no listing for The Clifton School at Clairmont. I…read moredidn't realize how good Clifton School was for my son until I moved to another state. Clifton School is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Things I loved: 1)Smaller class sizes- My son was first in one of the infant classrooms and then transitioned to a toddler classroom. There were about 8 kids per one AM or PM teacher and an additional assistant. 2)Reggio Emilia approach to teaching- You can check out a better definition on Wikipedia. -Basically, the approach believes in discovery learning through exploration and creativity. Each child is allowed his or her own learning style. Group learning is important too (my son at 20 months could say the names of his classmates). There is a curriculum coordinator who goes classroom to classroom to see how the kids are learning. At a point in the year, the coordinator/team calls you to let you know how your child is doing. Also, there are sit down meetings with teachers. -It's actually much bigger than just a way of learning. The approach also believes in an open curriculum so that teachers can change plans based on children learning. -The physical environment is important too. Reggio schools have open areas with piazzas. Kids aren't just shuttled between a small classroom and an outdoor playground. The infant classrooms, for example, are clustered together into a "village" with an open indoor gross motor play area called a piazza. Each village has an outdoor play area as well. This is very unique. I've toured multiple daycares in Kentucky and most are not this open with natural lighting. You might not think this is important but if you were in a small classroom day in an day out you would start feeling cramped too. -The approach believes in parent involvement. Clifton School has a PTA that meets on a regular basis and generates money through fundraising. Each class has at least one class rep. Parents for each classroom are put on an email list, so concerns can be addressed. There are multiple ways in which you can submit concerns from the classroom to the administrative level. This is unique too. Again, multiple daycares in Georgia and Kentucky DO NOT allow this level of parent involvement (eg kindercare, primrose, clarian place). 3)Great use of resources -Each classroom has a digital camera. The teachers take pictures of the kids during the day and write a small one slide powerpoint that goes out to the parents' email list. You really feel connected to what the kids are doing that day. It gave me a smile at the end of my day to see an email with a picture of my son playing a drum. I used to send the email attachments to grandparents to let them know how my little one was doing. -The Clairmont Campus now has access to fresh fruits and vegetables from a local farm. Parents place orders and pick up their produce at the Clairmont location. This is a great sustainable living initiative. -They hire real photographers from the community to come take pictures of kids for class picture day. They have a music teacher who sits down with individual classes. My son got to see someone play a harpsichord when he was 18 months old. 4)Great teachers- great education backgrounds and they love the kids. When my son was about to move, tears were shed by teachers and administration. I really felt like I lost a second family. What I didn't like: 1)It's been mentioned on Google Reviews that the administration isn't responsive to parent concerns. I did have an issue with the closure-due-to weather policy and didn't get feedback. I'm not a pushy parent and ended up not caring. The truth is that there are multiple ways to communicate with the administration, unlike other day cares. If I were pushy enough, I could've brought it up at a PTA meeting. I remember the parents got upset that the teachers were only sending out daily word ppts instead of ppts with pictures, and someone posted a complaint to the parent email listserv. The problem was resolved that week. 2)Clifton School is only open to Emory and CDC employees. I'm not entirely sure of all the reasons for this but it's really not fair to keep this great school confined to a small group of people. Clifton School will now be receiving a Georgia lottery funded pre-K and enrollment has to be open to the community. Maybe this will change their opinions. 3)The price! This school is expensive and I'd like to believe it's worth it. The school grounds, technologies, and equipment are really kept up nicely. Parents of infants have Similac available as an optional part of the program. We cut down on formula costs after the switch to Similac. 4)Long wait list- I applied in late Summer of 2012, delivered Sept 2012, and my son didn't come off the wait list until May 2013. Boy, I could write more but it looks like Yelp won't allow it. I hope this gives a little more info than the angry reviews out there.
