★ Founding Families · Mid-City

Become one of our first ten families

We opened our Mid-City school very recently, and it would mean so much to us if your family chose to become a founder with us. As our thank-you, our first ten full-time families receive $400/month off tuition — locked in for as long as your child is enrolled.

Questions, or need flexibility on certain things? Just ask — we're a new school, still shaping who we are in this community, and we're always happy to adjust.

What tuition includes

  • Full-time or part-time care, Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm
  • Spanish immersion — children hear English and Spanish naturally throughout the day
  • Our play-based, child-led curriculum: hands-on activities, outdoor play, early literacy, art, music, and social-emotional skill building
  • Potty-training support once your child shows signs of readiness

The annual materials fee covers everything that goes into the school year — toys, books, teaching supplies and materials, and our visiting enrichment vendors.

One note on meals: at Mid-City, families pack a lunch and snacks for now — we're a fully nut-free, allergy-aware school. Details on our FAQ page.

Good to know: Tuition is due on the 1st of each month (based on a 4.3-week month) and reserves your child's space regardless of attendance. Hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–5:00 pm. We ask for 30 days' written notice prior to withdrawal. Rates are reviewed annually — but your Founder's Rate stays locked in.
