Academic Year Tuition & Payment Plans

Aiming to meet the needs of all families we serve, we offer a sliding scale tuition that ranges from approximately $14 to $19 per hour during our academic year. Families have the option to choose any payment tier; however, we ask that families who can pay more generously do, so that we can make our program more accessible for others!

Please note: There is a non-refundable deposit of one month’s tuition due within 7 days of completing enrollment paperwork. This deposit will be used as your final month’s tuition.

For families of children ages 5+, we are an approved Ocean Grove vendor! They aid in subsidizing tuition costs and homeschool education support.

Please stay tuned for additional financial assistance options.
