This is just a glorified daycare. The school principal is not at the level of similar schools at this tuition price point. She is not engaged, not present, and does not seem genuinely interested in the students' progress. The academics are very poor, and children leave the school ill-prepared for kindergarten. Parents complain over Whatsapp and text message chains which cause gossip and a toxic culture. The school is not safe enough. Anyone can walk around the entrance and enter the classrooms. Too many days off, long winter break, two weeks of spring break, too many school closures for teacher prep, parent-teacher conferences, long summer break, short days...Carpool: stressful.

Country Day School is a wonderful establishment that is well-run and provides exceedingly meaningful education to our young ones.

Excellent school and summer camp. Warm, supportive environment for families and beautiful campus. I wish they offered elementary!

CDS provides an wonderful preschool experience for children and their parents. There is a balanced approach to offering academic ideas in a play-based setting. Children spend ample time on the playgrounds and at enrichment classes year round.

The community and learning environment at this preschool is nothing short of amazing. What great way to spend your child's preschool years! The community is warm and supportive; the learning environment is positive and nurturing. We have made some great, long-term friends at CDS.
