The Columbus Community Playgroup Co-operative, Inc. (CCPC) was founded in 1987 as a non-profit, licensed pre-school for children ages 2&1/2 to 5 years. CCPC has two morning classes for 2&1/2 to 5 year olds and one afternoon class for 3 to 5 year olds. In addition, the facility is available on Friday mornings during the school year for a community drop-in playgroup.

CCPC and its teachers seek to provide a dynamic curriculum based on music, art, free play, physical activity and reading to provide its students with a well rounded educational and social experience. Classroom activities are designed to enhance children's language skills, develop a sense of independence and encourage advancement of both fine and gross motor skills.

The school itself is located in the historic Town Hall of the Village of Columbus (just north of Oshawa). The building boasts several brightly decorated rooms with exceptional natural light in both the main classroom and gym facilities.
