Snow Outside, Fun Inside

We had a big snowstorm this past weekend and there's a ton of white stuff blanketing the playground, but there's plenty of fun inside our school.


Anyone for a picnic?

There's enough playdough for everyone.


A colorful castle!

Fingerpainting Fun

Using fingerpaint is fun. It's slimy and fluid. You can make all kinds of things with fingerpaint. Then you can erase very quickly. Erasing is as delightful as drawing. :^)

Black fingerpaint may not look very appealing, but it is still fun to work with.

Our Thanksgiving Show

Our children practiced for weeks and it was worth it. Our annual Thanksgiving show turned out to be a big hit! Indians and Pilgrims sang songs and used a Indian sign language to say "I love you" to their mothers, fathers, and grandparents.

After the show, there were plenty of refreshments. Everyone had a great time.

Come to Our Gift Auction!

Our Gift Auction will be held on Thursday, December 3, 2009. The doors open at 7 p.m. Admission is $5. There will be plenty of wonderful baskets.

Bring your friends along and make it a party! Refreshments will be supplied.

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

All the classes in our school went on a class trip this week. The children enjoyed a hayride, picked the perfect pumpkin and spent some time in a petting zoo. There were smiles all around.

Our Philosophy

We promise a nurturing and supportive environment with encouraged parental involvement. Our programs are designed to enhance emotional growth and social skill development, which lead to better learning, creativity and healthy physical activity. Our discipline policy is based on firm, yet gentle persuasion to encourage cooperation.

We treat children to an environment in which social skills can develop as well as a cooperative spirit that will provide a foundation for a smooth transition to higher grades.

Staff, children and parents can share the joy of being together, working together, and building memories while being a part of TFCNS.

We believe that a happy first school experience coupled with exposure to a wide range of activities helps to instill a lifelong desire for learning.
