Nourishing the joy and wonder of childhood

Tuition
Accessibility
We are working to balance paying our educators a fair wage and program costs with the counterbalance of accessibility. The success of small, home-based family child care programs depends upon the generosity of full-paying families.
A portion of the tuition goes towards The Maple Hill Play Garden’s Equity and Accessibility fund. This fund is set aside to help provide limited financial aid to some families; help provide additional outdoor gear for families who need it; and/or support local BIPOC-owned family childcare programs and other resources in the local community.*
If you are willing and able to contribute more to the Equity and Accessibility fund, please contact Amanda to discuss additional contribution options.
* As a program with space for up to 6 total children per day, financial aid opportunities are available but limited. Financial aid offered in a given year will depend upon the amount of Equity and Accessibility funds available that year.
