Summer Programming

Spring Into Summer

During the first 3 weeks in June, we offer Spring Into Summer. This program meets Monday-Friday from 9:00-2:00. It’s a transition program beginning at the end of our school year and ending right before summer camp. It is offered to all children in our Threes and Four's classes. Registration for this program takes place in March, and is on a first come-first serve basis. We have 42 spots available and our NCCNS faculty teaches the program.

Summer Camp

Beginning the 4th week in June and continuing through the 4th week in July, we offer a six-week summer camp program. It is offered to all children ages 3-5. Three sessions, two weeks each, are scheduled to run from 8:45-12:45, with a different theme each session. Registration and tuition is due in February. The camp is offered to all NCCNS parents on a first come-first serve basis, before it is opened to the public. Our NCCNS faculty staffs the program.
