- Our play-based curriculum includes arts and crafts, play, music, language arts, science projects, and outside play. We have half-day classes for 2 through 5-year-olds, and we have aftercare available until 3:00 pm. Our cooperative model allows parents the unique opportunity to volunteer in the classroom as teacher's aides up to twice a month and improves the child-adult supervision ratio. Parents are stakeholders in the school. Please visit our website, www.cpnsk.com, for more information OR please call, (301) 864-5355 or email, membership@cpnsk.com to set up a tour.
