Tuition fees vary depending on which program your child is attending.  Please see the “tuition” section under the program you are interested in on our website.

Yes, any child enrolled in preschool must be an independent bathroom user. This means that your child can independently go to the bathroom, pull down their clothing, sit on the toilet, wipe, redress, and wash hands without any adult assistance. A child who is wearing Pull-Ups is not toilet trained. Bathroom breaks are built into the daily schedule, and a bathroom is always available for when a child needs to go. Staff will encourage your child to wipe themselves after a bowel movement. We ask that you practice this at home as well. If a child cannot clean themselves after a bowel movement, parents will be called to assist. Teachers cannot clean children. If your child is experiencing excessive accidents—defined as more than two per week over a three-week period—we will request a two-week break from school to focus on training at home. If there is no improvement after this break, the child may be dismissed from the program.
