How tuition works
We don't print tuition here, because it depends on the group and the schedule. Here is what sets it and how it is paid.
What sets tuition
Tuition depends on the age group and the schedule you pick: three mornings, five mornings or long days. Summer weeks are billed on their own. 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. It is due when you apply, and the enrollment page says what it is.
Holding a place
A place is held once we have your signed enrollment agreement and a deposit, and the deposit goes toward the first month's tuition. When a group is full, families join a waitlist by group and schedule, and we offer places 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.
Uniforms, costumes and other costs
Outdoor gear is not in tuition: your child brings their own layers and boots. We keep a few spare layers in the yurt to lend, and we charge a materials fee for the year's art supplies and worn tools. The enrollment page lists it.

We go through the figures with you in person, at the yurt.
