Play Explore Grow!

Part-Time, Play-Based Preschool

College Park Nursery School is a part-time preschool program for children ages 2 through 5 that runs from September to May (with an optional Summer program in June).

We provide a nurturing and child-centered education where children are given freedom to play, explore and grow at their own pace, and where families are empowered to participate.

We aren’t your typical daycare. Learn more about what it means to be a part of our “co-op” or cooperative school!

Our Community

At College Park Nursery School, families are deeply involved in the classroom, while also helping with administration and facilities operations. This practice is at the core of our model, as it not only develops a supportive community and an individualized experience, but also lets us keep a CPNS education affordable and accessible to all.
