Early Learning Center at the College of Southern Maryland
The Early Learning Center at the College of Southern Maryland (CSM) is housed in the college's former St. Charles Children's Learning Center. CCPS has leased the building and is currently renovating it. The center will expand the CCPS early childhood education program, fulfilling the early childhood education requirement found in the Blueprint for Maryland's Future legislation.
The Center is set to open in Fall 2023 on the La Plata campus of CSM at 8730 Mitchell Road. There will be five classrooms for 4-year-old prekindergarten students. Some of the classes will be inclusion classrooms. The center will be fully staffed with CCPS employees. Certified teachers in prekindergarten and special education will be supported by qualified instructional assistants (IA). CCPS support staff will work at the center, too.
How do I apply to work at the center?
Teachers interested in interviewing for a position at the center who have already indicated they would like to transfer, and have been deemed eligible to participate in the voluntary transfer process, should follow the directions for the Transfer Fair. Teachers who did not indicate transfer on the declaration of intent form will need to complete an application on ccboe.com. Postings for non-certificated positions will be listed in the summer.

- How many students are expected to attend the center?
- What is the school zone for the center?
- How will students get to the center? Will there be meal service?
- How do children qualify to attend?
- Can anyone apply to have their child attend?
