Please Note:

Tuition rates change for 40 week families and all new incoming families as of June 1, 2009. Rates change for our 52 week families as of the first week of our new contract which is typically the third week of August (August 24 in 2009). Forty week families also pay $200 for deposit for the summer (which comes off of their first payment, if they come, or it is lost to them if they don't come), the $50.00 registration charge and the $6.00 for insurance IF they want to pick up any time in the summer after their forty week contract has expired. ("Summer" typically runs from the first week of June through approximately, the third week of August. Time during the summer can only be picked up in weekly amounts, at an extra cost of $25.00 per week for 40 week families.)

*We do,on occassion, enroll 5-year olds who missed the September 1st cut-off date for entry into Kindergarten in Maryland’s Public School Systems. (This will involve parental discussion with the Director and Lead Teacher, before acceptance.) We also accept children whose parents would like their child to have another year of PreSchool before entering Kindergarten. (We assess and continue to evaluate, on an individual basis, all children who are 5+ years of age.)

All families are using a 6 (40 week families), or 8 (52 week families) payment schedule, unless they arrive beyond the beginning of the contract year, in which case the initial payments would need to be condensed to "catch up" with the schedule that all other families are following.
