TUITION
3 Half-Days (Mon/Wed/Fri): | $125 per month | $30 annual supply fee |
5 Half-Days (Mon–Fri): | $175 per month | $50 annual supply fee |
Tuition is due on the 10th of each month. Should a student’s tuition be more than one month past due, that student will be dismissed from the school unless a special situation has been approved by the director. Supply fees help us cover the cost of school supplies such as paper, paper towels, and toilet paper. Monthly tuition and supply fees are nonrefundable.
ARRIVAL & PICKUP
Students should arrive at school between 8:00 and 8:30 AM. They may arrive as early as 7:30 AM to help working families get to work on time for an additional cost of $2.00 per each morning students arrive before 8:00 AM.
Pickup time is 11:00–11:15 AM. An additional charge is added for children who are picked up after this time. If your regular pickup plans change, please tell the school and your child if possible. If you will be late picking up your child or are unable to pick up your child, please notify the school. We need to know the name of the person who will be picking up your child on your behalf.
ENRICHMENT
We also offer afternoon care in the form of our enrichment program. Children who are signed up for enrichment can stay at school until as late as 5:30 PM to allow working families more flexibility with their pickup times. These children bring a lunch each day and must also bring a sleeping mat, a pillow, and a blanket with them when they are enrolled.
The cost of this service is up to $12.00 per afternoon your child stays past 11:15 AM and is prorated depending on what time you pick up your child, as outlined below. You will not be charged for days your child is picked up before 11:15 AM. If your child is not picked up by 5:30 PM, an additional late fee will be charged.

CLOTHING
Dress your child in play clothes—things they are comfortable wearing, allow them to be active, and are easy for them to handle in the bathroom. We do assist children when they need help. Please be mindful of the weather and dress your child accordingly. Children are given time to play outside on our playground when the weather permits.
BOOK BAGS
Children need to bring a book bag to school each day to carry their papers and other supplies. This lets them take their work home with them and allows us to occasionally send out important notes and paperwork for parents. Please check your child’s papers each day to help you stay informed about what is going on at school in the coming days.
TEXT MESSAGING
We send text message notifications to parents and guardians who wish to have occasional notices and reminders about school activities sent to their mobile phones. If you or another family member would like to sign up to receive these notifications, please let us know so we can add you.
You will receive a text asking if you want to receive messages from the school. You must reply “yes” to this message to begin receiving notifications. Please note that if your phone has a spam filter enabled or is turned off, you may not receive notifications.
FUNDRAISERS
We typically hold one to two fundraisers during the year. These are an important source of funds that allow us to keep tuition and supply fees affordable for our students and their families.
PICTURE DAYS
Each year, we have a professional photographer come to school to take pictures of the children. This service is for you and does not benefit us. You do not have to buy the pictures. The photographer is scheduled in the fall for individual pictures and in the spring for group class pictures.
SPECIAL OCCASIONS & BIRTHDAY PARTIES
We have parties at school for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day, and also hold an Easter Egg Hunt. Each parent has the opportunity to help in some way with parties during the year. If you would like to volunteer to help with an upcoming party, please let us know.
Birthdays are very important to children, and we do celebrate them at school. You may bring treats for the class on your child’s birthday (no cupcakes, please!) and a small favor for the children to take home after the party. Please let us know in advance so we can coordinate in case other children have a birthday on the same day. Check with our teachers for the number of children in the class.
