Tuition

Parents may pay tuition by the month, semester, or year. Monthly payments are paid over 10 months, beginning August 1st for September. Tuition is paid at the beginning of each month for the following month and the last payment is due May 1st for the summer program. We accept credit cards as well as checks, and also allow payments through the digital platform called Procare.

Some students may be eligible for a scholarship.  If you feel you may qualify, we encourage you to download our scholarship applicationpdf-icon and submit it to the Director. Please mail your completed scholarship application to:

You may choose to enroll your child in the AM Program or the PM Program. In addition, we have four “extended days” during the week for those children who need to stay past 2:30. Regular Extended Day attendees choose which 1-4 days they will attend. Kids may switch to the PM Program from the AM Program at any time during the year but not from PM to AM.

If on occasion you need your child to stay for an Extended Day, please email the director and tell the staff member who is signing kids in during morning drop off.
