How tuition works
We don't print tuition here, because it depends on the room and the schedule. Here is what sets it and how it is paid.
What sets tuition
Tuition depends on your child's room and age and on the schedule you pick: three mornings, five mornings or the school day. Our figures are on our enrollment page, and we go through them with you on a tour.

Registration
A registration fee covers the enrollment file and the first set of supplies. It is due when you apply, and the enrollment page says what it is.
Holding a place
A place is held once we have your enrollment form and a deposit, and the deposit goes toward the first month's tuition. When a room is full, families join a waitlist for that room, and we offer places in the order families joined.

Billing
Tuition is billed monthly and paid by autopay. If another arrangement would help your family, tell us at the tour.
Help with tuition
Ask us whether state child care assistance works with our tuition. We will tell you plainly what we can and cannot do, and we would rather you ask before you apply.
Withdrawing
We ask for a month's notice before a child leaves, so that we can offer the place to a family on the waitlist. The enrollment agreement says what happens to a month in progress.
Uniforms, costumes and other costs
Outside tuition there are two costs: supplies for the year, such as paint, clay and replacement loose parts, and the few trips we take. Each is named on the enrollment page with what it covers.
