CHCPS is a non-denominational, wholly-parent-staffed social group that provides a warm and supportive place for 2-year-old play. It also provides the opportunity for parents to meet other families in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
CHCPS is a D.C. nonprofit corporation and a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It is not a licensed daycare facility.
Capitol Hill Cooperative Play School can host three playgroups in the nursery of The Lutheran Church of the Reformation, 212 East Capitol St NE 20002. Due to emergency capacity restrictions, each group can host 12 children – three parent leaders.
Lottery
If more than 24 families apply before the application deadline (April 30th), the outgoing board will hold a lottery in the spring to fill each group for the fall.
Please complete this information form and submit a non-refundable administration fee of $25 by April 30th. An email will be provided with the date of the spring lottery.
Fees
There is a $50 deposit to hold your spot for the fall. The fee for two days a week is $375 due by the first day of play school. For Fridays only, the fee is $250.
Please make checks payable to CHCPS and write your child's name on the check. They can be dropped off during playgroup hours (Tuesday and Thursday 9am to 12pm), or mailed to the church: 212 East Capitol St NE 20002.
Waiting List
If all play group spots are currently filled, your family will be added to a waiting list. If families leave, invitations to new families will be extended from this list.
