What’s actually included in our tuition

Our tuition is one simple, all-inclusive weekly rate: $325 per week, or $350 per week for infants. Here is precisely what it covers, what it does not, and every other charge that exists.

Included in your weekly rate

• All meals and snacks. Breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack, prepared on site. No lunch to pack, no meal program to opt into, no separate billing. For infants, families provide formula or breast milk and baby food. Once your baby can eat what’s on our toddler menu, they join our meals.
• All learning materials. Curriculum materials, art supplies, books and classroom consumables. There is no supply list in August and no mid-year supply fee.
• The daily preschool curriculum, with Spanish woven through the day rather than sold as an add-on enrichment class.
• Daily communication. Photos, notes and milestone updates through our parent app, at no charge.
• Full hours. We are open 7:00am to 5:30pm. Drop-off and pickup any time within those hours costs nothing extra; early drop-off and late pickup fees apply before 7:00am or after 5:30pm.

Left: a real lunch, cooked on site. Right: seasonal celebrations, included in the rate.

Not included

Families provide their child’s personal care items, including diapers, wipes, and, for infants, formula or breast milk and baby food. You’ll receive the full list at enrollment.

Every charge, in full

Outside of early drop-off and late pickup fees (before 7:00am or after 5:30pm), that is the complete list. There is no supply fee, no activity fee, no party fee and no curriculum fee — and we are not going to invent one later.

How billing works

Tuition is based on enrollment, not attendance. You are reserving a specific spot in a room we deliberately keep small, so tuition is due for sick days, holidays, closure weeks, and temporary closures, including weather and other emergencies.

What it costs

$325 per week, per child ($350 for infants). We are not the cheapest option in Columbia County and we are not trying to be — smaller groups mean fewer families supporting the same teachers and the same building, and that shows up in the price.

We publish the number rather than holding it for the tour because a family who is not comfortable with it should not have to spend an afternoon here to find that out. If we ever change it, you will hear it from us with notice, not from an invoice.

What to ask on every tour — including ours

• How many children share the room? Ours are capped at or below half of what Georgia allows. Fewer children means a calmer room and more time with each child.
• What’s on the menu? Our meals are home-cooked on site and planned to be healthy, with kid favorites like organic mac and cheese mixed in. You won’t find toaster pastries or sugary processed snacks here.
• Is Spanish a weekly class, or part of the day? Here it’s woven into everyday routines, at no extra cost.
• Will you get a supply list or a supply fee? We cover all learning materials, art supplies, and classroom consumables.

Ask every program the same questions, then compare. If another program genuinely fits your family better, we would rather help you see that than enroll a family who isn’t sure.
