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: mornings, three mornings in the twos room, or the school day. We send our figures when you ask, and we go through them with you on a tour.

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

Billing
Tuition is billed monthly, with autopay if you like. We explain how when you register.
Help with tuition
Ask us whether we can work with child care assistance this year, and how a family asks. We tell you what we know on the tour.
Siblings
When a second child joins the school, we handle tuition differently for the family. Ask us when you apply and we will explain how.
Withdrawing
We ask for a month's notice before a child leaves, so a family on the waitlist has time to plan. A month in progress is billed as usual.
Other costs outside tuition
Some costs sit outside tuition: registration, materials and the festival days. Each is listed on the program page by name and purpose, and we tell you how each is priced when you ask.
