  • Aftercare costs $10 per hour. Families can choose to sign up biweekly for the hours they need or sign up for a prepaid aftercare (for a discount) at the beginning of each semester.

  • Families who purchase a full buyout do not have to co-op in the classroom, nor do they have to complete any of the required co-oping paperwork. They still have to fulfill other membership responsibilities. The monthly full buyout fees for the 2024-25 school year are:

    • 2s Class: $100

    • 3s Class: $75

    • 3/4s Class: $100

  • Families who purchase a half buyout will only have to co-op in the classroom half the amount of time (Example: A Pre-K half buyout family will only have to co-op in the class 6-7 times a year, as opposed to 13-14 times a year). The monthly half buyout fees for the 2024-25 school year are:

Our summer camps are open to current CPNS students only and spots are limited to 24 students per week.

More About Aftercare

Aftercare is an hourly after-school program that is offered until 3pm daily (advanced signups are required). Parents can choose to extend the school day by signing their child up for aftercare on the days the child attends school. Aftercare consists of free play, “Lunch Bunch” (lunch is brought from home), story time, and a rest/nap time.
