4 days a week: Monday – Thursday, $450.00
5 days a week: Monday – Friday, $533.00
Tuition Schedule
A non-refundable pre-payment is due on or before June 1st, 2024. This will be applied to your account and used as your tenth and final payment of the school year. Your second tuition payment is due September 1st, 2024. Each month's tuition is due by the 1st of the month. A late fee of $25.00 will be assessed for each payment received later than the 5th of the month. Failure to remit tuition payments for two consecutive months is grounds for dismissal from the program. Please Note: While not all months of the school year have the same days in attendance, tuition is prorated according to the total number of school days for the year so that all ten payments are equal.
Multiple Child Discounts
For children of the same household, tuition rates are reduced by 10% for the second child’s tuition and 20% for the third child’s tuition. There are no multiple child discounts for The Barnyard Club.
Registration Fee
A non-refundable fee of $175.00 will be collected for each child at the time of registration. This money covers processing and administration of each student, along with materials for classroom activities, special theme days, snacks, tote bag, and a class group picture at year’s end. There are no other charges throughout the school year. One price; one time!
Barnyard Club
You may register your child with a permanent reservation at a rate of $15 a day or a drop-in reservation
at a rate of $17 a day. You are billed monthly for any Barnyard Club charges. Permanent reservations are billed prior to each month regardless of usage. Drop-in charges are billed after usage.
A late fee of $1 per minute will be charged to families repeatedly picking up later than 3:15 pm dismissal.
