Adding Extended Care

Preschool Water Play Fridays
Children in Primary Fun Camp have the opportunity to enjoy water play most Fridays in summer. Campers should arrive in swimsuits or clothes that can get wet and bring a towel and complete change of clothes in a zip-top bag. Please remember to label all items with first and last name.
Water Play may not happen because of inclement weather or special events. Notifications are sent to families on on Thursdays when we know that Water Play will not take place the following day.
Wellness at TNCS
The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority. TNCS has a multi-prong approach to support wellness and prevent disease transmission including optional mask wearing for students and staff, routine hand washing, continuous air exchange, and self-reporting. TNCS stays up to date on guidelines and recommendations from the CDC, Maryland Department of Health, MSDE, and the Maryland Office of Child Care (OCC).
