Once a child is offered a spot, we require the first month’s tuition to hold that. Deposits are refundable up to 6 weeks before the child’s first day of school. Families can view and make tuition payments from the Family Portal and can arrange automatic payments via bank account (preferred) or credit card.
If it is necessary to withdraw your child from the program, we require 30 days written notice. Without 30 days written notice, you will be billed a month’s full tuition to help us cover our costs from the gap in enrollment.
A small cost-of-living increase will be added to tuition each school year in order to pay our staff equitably.
Tuition ASsistance
We believe that our teachers are the heart of our school and we want to ensure they receive a fair wage and benefits, including health insurance. We believe they deserve it and it also makes our school better to have teachers with long tenures, with plenty of prep time and low student ratios. Thanks to all of our families who support this mission. At the same time, we want quality early-childhood education to be accessible to everyone and offer tuition assistance to families who need it. Please reach out to info@tcsseattle.org for more information.
