Dressing for School
As December quickly approaches, cold weather is not far behind. We will continue to go outside. This is a pleasant experience if your child is properly dressed. Please make sure that your child has a warm coat, pants, hat, and mittens – all labeled with their names.
Winter Break
The school and offices will close at the end of the school day on Friday, December 22nd and will reopen on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. Whether you are staying close to home or traveling, have a safe and wonderful holiday!
Parking Lot Repair
The Church has contracted to give the parking lot some TLC. Repaving the lot is far to costly. The holes will be filled and new stripes will be painted for easier parking. 4CCN agreed to help with some of the funding for this project. We are the largest tenant and the parking lot has been a safety concern for some time. The work will be done before the weather gets too cold and after school hours.
In-house Registration
In-house registration will begin on Monday, January 8th. Registration forms will be sent home with 2- & 3-year-olds the week of January 3rd. Extra forms will be available in the school office. We will offer an on-line registration through our web site as well.
Alumni registration will begin on Wednesday, January 24th – families who have had children here in the past and do not currently have a child enrolled.
All registration is first come first served.
We get so much positive feedback from the community! Thank you all for telling your friends about 4CCN.

January Conferences
Parent/teacher conferences will begin in January. Please check your classroom/teacher’s email for information regarding your child’s conference day. Each teacher will have a sign-up sheet with day of conference, you will need to sign up for a time slot. Conferences are about 20 minutes in length and will be held upstairs in the church library. A virtual option will be available as well if you prefer not to meet in person. Your child will have a regular school day during conferences, a substitute will be in the classroom with the other teacher that day.
2024-2025 Tuition
Due to rising costs, the 4CCN Board of Directors voted to increase tuition for the 2024-2025 school year. Monday Wednesday Friday will be $490.00/month, Tuesday Thursday $390.00/month and the 5-day program $600.00/month. The registration fee will increase to $90.00/family.
