Absolutely no peanuts, tree nuts, or shellfish are allowed in TNCS due to severe student allergies.

Preschool Water Play Fridays
Preschool campers have the opportunity to enjoy water play most Fridays in summer. Students are expected to arrive in their swimsuits or clothes that can get wet. A towel and a complete, dry change of clothes must be provided on Water Play Fridays. Send the change of clothes in a zip-top bag. Please remember to label the clothes, the towel, and the swimsuit.
Water play may not happen because of inclement weather or special events. We will advise parents on Thursday if Water Play Day is cancelled for 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 COVID-19 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).
