Parents at this school, on average, believe that conflicts between children:
...are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another

Parents' Notes on Discipline, Health and Safety
Parent #1
The outdoor space has a very small roof area- I never saw it because they don't really let parents go up there, I understand that it is so small they don't want anybody to see it. The gym is okay. It used to be great, but unfortunately they made a music room using a chunk of it making the gym quite a bit smaller.
Parent #2
The facilities and supplies at this school are simply outstanding. Toys are always kept extremely clean and in perfect condition. Classrooms are very well stocked.
Parent #3
The school has a nice size indoor gym with lots of tricycles and bicycles as well as a slide for the kids to play on.
Parent #4
Because Claremont is a relatively new school the equipment is new and there is an exhaustive cleaning crew every day. Safety is paramount. There is a security guard at the ground floor during drop off and pick up, and a second entry point on the second floor which is locked and entry is only gained upon showing a claremont id. furthermore, no adult may pick up a child if they are not a parental pick up list - this includes grandparents and any family not on the list.
