How tuition works

We don't print a price on this site. Our enrollment page and the tour show the current figures, and here is how they come together.

  • What sets tuition

    Tuition is set by the room, the number of mornings a child comes, and whether a child stays for the long day. Our enrollment page and the tour show the current figures.

    • Willow or Hazel room

    • Three or five mornings

    • Morning or long day

  • Registration

    A registration fee holds a child's place and covers the enrollment file. It is due when a family accepts a place.

  • Holding a place

    A place is held once we have the registration and the signed enrollment agreement. When a room is full we keep a waitlist in the order families join, and we call each family when a place opens.

  • Billing

    Tuition is billed monthly through our parent portal, and families can set up autopay there.

  • Help with tuition

    Ask us whether assistance is open this month and how it works with our tuition.

  • Siblings

    A second child from the same family is handled differently. Ask us at the tour and we will explain how.

  • Withdrawing

    We ask for a month's written notice before a child leaves, so we can offer the place to a family on the waitlist. Tuition runs through the notice month.

  • Uniforms, costumes and other costs

    Materials, snack ingredients for baking and soup days and our seasonal festivals are priced separately. Each is explained on our enrollment page.

    • Materials: wool, watercolor paper, beeswax

    • Snack: flour, grain and fruit

    • Festival days

Ask about the figures on a tour

We go through the current tuition with every family, and answer questions about the schedule and a second child.
