Spring Fling and 5k & Fun Run

Join us for a fun day of racing and festivities at our Spring Fling on March 29th! Your participation helps bring this event to life, creating a fun and memorable experience for everyone. Whether you run or walk, all are welcome to join the 5K at Harris Lake County Park—no matter the pace!


The race starts at 9:30 AM, and the $35 registration includes the race, t-shirt, medal, and 1 volunteer hour. Prefer a shorter course? The Fun Run is a one-mile race for $10, including a t-shirt and medal. Want to do both? Just register for the 5K. Sign up by March 1 to guarantee your race swag.

Re-enrollment

All families should have already received their re-enrollment contracts via email. If you have not received yours, please email info@montessoricenter.org to request the link. Below are answers to some common questions and issues from last week:


Deposits: Please don't worry about submitting your deposit via check until you receive your invoice. Once received, you will have five business days to make your payment.


After-school field on Re-enrollment Form: For all families (excluding Nido and EY), your contract includes a section to select before- and after-school care or to decline all options. If you do not need additional childcare, please check the last box to officially decline these services. If no selection is made, your child will not be enrolled in before- or after-school care, and you may be asked to complete a Contract Amendment Form.


Contract Amendments: If any part of your form is incomplete or requires changes, Ms. Dawn will send you a Contract Amendment Form. Please submit this form by March 1.


Confirmed Enrollment: Signed contracts should automatically be sent to the family email used for signing. However, these documents sometimes end up in spam folders. To ensure easy access, all confirmed contracts will also be uploaded to each family's Child Pilot account within five days of signing.


If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out!

Summer Camp Information

We’re excited to announce that applications for our Elementary Summer Camps are now open! We are currently accepting applications for current and returning Elementary and MAP students. Starting February 19, alumni, new students, and students referred by a TNS family may also apply for remaining spaces in our camps. The deadline to apply is March 1—after this date, a $75 late application fee will apply.


For pre-elementary programs (Nido, EY, and CH), summer camp enrollment should be completed through the re-enrollment forms. Families of pre-elementary students who are not returning in the fall may apply during open enrollment after March 1. Enrollment will be dependent on available space. The open enrollment pre-elementary application will be posted on our Summer Camp page on March 2.
