➝ We are a full-time only childcare and preschool.

➝ Tuition covers care Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. You are welcome to drop off and pick up your child at any time within these hours.

➝ For the best learning experience, we encourage drop-off by 8:00 AM to ensure your child benefits from the full academic program.

➝ If you choose to keep your child home on a specific day, that is completely fine, but tuition remains the same.

Tuition is based on service days per school calendar year (Monday - Friday), which includes paid breaks and holidays.

You can find our school calendar under Next Steps.

To calculate the monthly tuition, we follow this formula:

Daily Rate x Service Days = Annual Cost

Annual Cost ÷ 12 Months = Monthly Tuition

Example Calculations by Age Group:

Example of tuition cost with 260 service days in the school year.

➝ Dreamers (6 weeks - 1 year)

$45 per day × 260 days = $11,700 per year

$11,700 ÷ 12 months = $975.00 per month

➝ Explorers (1 - 2.5 years)

$45 per day × 260 days = $11,700 per year

$11,700 ÷ 12 months = $975.00 per month

➝ Inventors (2.5 - 3 years)

$43 per day × 260 days = $11,180 per year

$11,180 ÷ 12 months = $931.67 per month

➝ Little Learners (3 - 5 years)

$43 per day × 260 days = $11,180 per year

$11,180 ÷ 12 months = $931.67 per month

✔ Tuition remains the same each month, regardless of holidays or closures, as it is calculated on an annual basis and divided evenly over 12 months.

✔ Extended Care Fees are billed separately at $7 per hour, per child, per day, and are due weekly.
