We believe that a quality learning environment is an investment in your child’s future.
We also understand that the cost of childcare or pre-K can be hard for families and do our best to provide fair pricing without sacrificing quality.
Please note that our prices represent approximately 70% of the true cost of educating each child. We rely on volunteers & regular donations of supplies to help offset the cost of tuition. We apply for grant funding (when available) and partner with local agencies to help offset costs & help support families facing temporary financial hardship. Approximately 80-90% of students enrolled each year pay reduced tuition.
Please know that when you enroll your child, your child’s spot is reserved. This is our family’s income and as such, tuition is due whether your child attends or not.
We keep a low student teacher ratio – an average of 5:1 – much lower than required by the state of Maryland and with additional staff this allows your child extra attention as they grow and learn. We look forward to partnering with your family. We enroll throughout the year as space allows.
Learning time is from 8:10 am-3:00 pm. Tuition reflects this time. Wrap-around care is available from 6:40 am -4:10 pm for an additional fee to accommodate working families.
Tuition is due on Monday morning each week. Tuition is paid through Brightwheel. Electronic transfer or credit card payments are accepted and can be set as auto-pay.
