Our Tuition Model
We want our program to be as accessible as possible, so we are operating on a sliding scale. Preschool can be an expensive undertaking. Our sliding scale estimates are between $20-30 an hour. Based on needs and abilities, some families will pay more than this, some will pay less. We ask that you consider how much you would normally pay for childcare and take into account paying your educators a living wage. Families are welcome to pay in full for 9 months of tuition, a monthly rate, or open a discussion with us for payment plans.
