How tuition works

Every family's days are different, so here is what sets tuition. Our enrollment page has the figures.

  • Tuition depends on your child's grade group and how many afternoons a week your child comes: five, three or two. The figures for each are on our enrollment page, and Funmi goes through them with you when you visit.

    • Afternoons a week: five, three or two

    • Grade groups: grade 1, grades 2 and 3, grades 4 and 5

  • Registration

    A registration fee sets up your child's file: the forms, the pickup list and the staff time to enter them. It is due when you register on the enrollment page, and it is separate from tuition.

  • Holding a place

    A place is held once you register and the first month is paid. When a group is full we keep a waitlist in the order families asked, and we phone the next family before we send an email.

    • Offers go out by phone first

  • Billing

    Tuition is billed monthly through our enrollment page, with autopay if you choose it. Closed-day care, on days when schools are closed and we are open, is booked and billed separately, a few weeks ahead.

  • Help with tuition

    Ask us whether assistance is open this month. If your family receives state child care assistance, tell us when you register and we will explain what paperwork we need.

  • Siblings

    A second child in the same family is handled differently on the bill, and Funmi explains how when you visit. Brothers and sisters can share the same days or come on different ones.

  • Withdrawing

    We ask for two weeks' written notice before a child leaves or changes days, so another family can have the place. Send it through the contact form or hand it to a staff member at the side door.
