[RP TownTalk] Openings at College Park Nursery School & Kindergarten

[Jim Coleman]

 My son goes to this school and he loves it! Maybe you will too!
*Openings in 2s, 3s, 4s, & Half-Day Kindergarten*

*at College Park Nursery School*

Are you having second thoughts about full-day Kindergarten? Is your child
having difficulties adapting to a large classroom-size? The College Park
Nursery School and Kindergarten is for you! We still have openings for the
2010-2011 school year.

We also have openings for 2s, 3s and 4s.

*Activities:* CPNS&K offers child-centered learning, a nurturing environment
that actively includes parents, and reasonable prices. Children learn
through arts and crafts, age-appropriate hands-on science projects, games,
cooking, daily “special projects,” story time and more. CPNSK has a large
playground with new, interesting play equipment and a sandbox; on rainy
days, a gymnasium is available so the children can still run and jump. The
school offers an excellent balance between free-play time and structured
activities.

*Times & Aftercare:* CPNSK is an accredited parent-run cooperative. It
offers half-day classes for children from 2 to 4 years old, half-day
kindergarten for 5-year-olds, and extended day after-care until 3 p.m.
Co-oping classes (except for Kindergarten) allow parents to volunteer in the
classroom as teachers’ aides up to twice a month.

*Kindergarten:* Our Kindergarten is taught by Joan Sicher, the director of
the school since 1985. Not only does Joan have many years of experience, but
she is also a personable teacher who pays attention to the individual needs
of each child. CPNS Kindergarten provides a wonderful transition between
preschool and the rigorous environment of the higher grades of elementary
school, whether public or private. Frequent outings and field trips are part
of the program, and parent participation is welcome. CPNS Kindergarten is
certified by the Maryland Department of Education, just like a public
school. The half-day Kindergarten takes place five days a week, from 11:30
a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

*Location:* The school is conveniently located near the The Maryland Book
Exchange, on the lower level of St. Andrew’s  Episcopal Church on College
Avenue in College Park (but has no affiliation with the church).

*More Info:* To learn more, go to http://cpnsk.com/index.html

 or call the school at (301) 864-5355 and leave a message. Joan Sicher, the
director, will get back to you.
