Tuition & Fees for 2025-26 School Year
All tuition payments are due on the first business day of each month. Families have the option of choosing a 12-month schedule (year-round care) or a 10-month schedule (no care needed for June and July). The monthly tuition and registration fee are the same for either option, but these options allow the school to plan for staffing during the summer when some families may not need childcare. We ask that each family choose carefully and give at least 30 days notice if they need to make changes.
Tuition is based on an annual budgeted amount and divided into equal monthly payments. Tuition is due even in the case of school closure for any reason. No tuition reductions will be made for absences due to family vacation, illness, etc.

Families that need care on those days can attend school and pay the daily rate.
