1964; Three campus mothers unable to find a pre-primary school for their little ones decided to start one themselves with the blessings of the Vice-Chancellor and the approval of the Director, Gandhi Bhawan to use their premises. The vision and mission for the children were simple: playing and learning in a joyful, loving and beautiful environment. In the first years the mothers taught and learned themselves, but once the number of children increased, teachers had to be engaged and the school's management had to be formalized and structured. Campus School Society was born and registered in 1967 with a representative membership of all categories of staff members of the University and its affiliated colleges, who during all these years, have been giving freely and voluntarily of their time and expertise for the benefit of the school. The constitution of the Society reflects the vision and the mission, viz. "to provide education in a free and creative atmosphere through planned activities that will help to stimulate a balanced physical, cognitive, emotional, social, spiritual and cultural development; to stimulate the learning of skills in an atmosphere where class, caste, gender and other distinctions do not exist; to lay emphasis on the development of an understanding of democratic and egalitarian values and citizen's responsibilities" and "to give special facilities and support to children of economically and socially disadvantaged parents", as well as to children with special needs.
The great advantage of the school is of course its location on the University campus, where it benefits from the interaction of high level academicians in fields related to education. A special mention may be made of the University Department of Human Development, which uses the school as its laboratory for M.Sc. students.
Campus Nursery School itself has developed its theme based curriculum on Active Learning lines. This curriculum and its implementation took several years of deliberation, consideration and implementation, at one stage with the expertise and involvement of Ryerson's College, Toronto.
