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 holds a place when you apply. The enrollment page says what it is and when it is due.
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 by room and schedule, and offers go out in the order families joined.

Billing
Tuition is billed monthly and paid by autopay through our parent portal. 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.
Siblings
When a second child joins, we handle tuition for siblings differently. Ask us how at the tour.
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.
Materials, garden supplies and outings
Outside tuition there are three costs: materials for the year, garden supplies and the few field trips the Sprout and Bloom rooms take. Each is named on the enrollment page with what it covers.
