Tuition Rates effective for enrollment beginning Fall 2026.
We offer two, three, four, or five day schedules, depending on availability. School hours are 7:30-5:30 Monday through Friday. We operate year-round, with certain closures for holidays, professional development, and maintenance. See holiday schedule for all closure dates.
Tuition covers many items that parents usually need to provide for childcare programs. Our goal is to be as all-inclusive as possible, supporting busy families by reducing their mental load!
The Nest provides:
Diapers & wipes ⬩ Freshly prepared, largely organic, vegetarian breakfast, lunch, and snack⬩ Organic infant formula (upon request; families may of course send in breast milk!) ⬩ Diaper and skin cream ⬩ Basic medication (with permission!) ⬩ Sunscreen ⬩ Most required outdoor gear ⬩ Laundering of most clothing soiled at school ⬩ Educational parent/teacher meetups and individualized behavioral support ⬩
Day-to-day, we staff our classrooms much more robustly than a typical child care, to make sure that children receive exceptional care from teachers who are not stretched thin. Our 10-hour, well-staffed day provides flexibility for working parents, and also creates a hefty payroll. Our tuition reflects all of this!
| 2 days per week | 3 days per week | 4 days per week | 5 days per week |
