Admissions

Clayton Child Center has a rolling admissions process with children accepted and enrolled throughout the school year. We offer full-day and part-time programs at both the Infant/Toddler Center and Preschool. Parents interested in enrolling their child in Clayton Child Center Preschool should call 314-727-2643 to arrange a tour.
Parents interested in enrolling their child in our Infant Toddler Program should call 314-726-0440 to arrange a tour of the Infant/Toddler Center.
To enroll your child, submit the Center application. It is available at the front desk of both schools or can be downloaded here. A $55 application fee must be submitted with the application. If you enroll within 30 days of submitting your application, $30 of the fee will be applied toward your first tuition payment.
Once the Center receives your application, it will be reviewed. You will receive notification via mail regarding the status of your application. If accepted, you will receive all the necessary paperwork to officially register your child in the Center.
