Welcome to CCS!

At Clayton Community School we encourage the full participation of the children to meet their social, educational, and recreational needs. Our center provides a stimulating choice of supervised activities to help children experience new situations and explore their maximum potentials for learning and growth. We are a non-profit childcare that was originally established in 1978 and we have continued since our founding to meet the growing childcare and preschool needs of the developing Community of Clayton. We are conveniently located on the campus of Mt. Diablo Elementary School.
