CPK Classes & Programs

Classes & Programs

We’re so glad you’re exploring CPK as an option for your child’s preschool or kindergarten experience. We understand that enrolling your child in preschool or kindergarten is a big step, and we’re here with you the whole way.

Your child’s birthday will determine which class he or she will be eligible for. Explore classes, meet teachers, and learn more about CPK below.

Questions about CPK?

If you have any questions about classes or registration, please email CPK Director Melissa Ludens or call (605) 336-2303.

Before & After School Care

Extended Care

Because many of our families need flexibility in the time they bring their children to and from school, we provide Extended Care, a before and/or after class option. Children may be scheduled on a regular or occasional basis, as long as openings are available. Any child enrolled at Central Preschool and Kindergarten may be enrolled in Extended Care (however, please note that your child must be toilet trained in order to be enrolled in Extended Care).
