Financial Aid
We know paying for childcare can be a significant expense in a family’s budget. We aim to keep tuition affordable and fundraise throughout the year to do so.
At Children’s House we are committed to giving every child a chance to come to school regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
For families for whom our tuition would be a hardship, we offer a number of financial aid options. Please see some options below and don’t hesitate to contact us for more information.
