Daily Rate Calculation

(FT) Full-Time Students  =  5 days per week (Mon thru Fri)

Equal Monthly Rate Formula is the Daily rate X 5 days X 52 weeks ./. 12 months


This formula allows the monthly rate to remain equal for all twelve months of the preschool year, September through August.  Tuition remains at the same rate throughout the preschool year.  The preschool is open 50 weeks annually and is closed two weeks each calendar year in addition to certain holidays. There is no reduction in tuition for student absences and no credit is provided for holidays or other days the preschool may be required to close due to weather or circumstances beyond the control of the preschool. Part-time student tuition. where applicable, utilizes the same equal monthly rate formula adjusted for actual scheduled days.
