No. Each child's tuition must be paid according to the tuition you qualify for.

1. Pay our full tuition rate at $750 monthly.

2. Receive DES child care assistance and pay the copay to the city of Tempe if any

3. Apply for a Quality First scholarship and pay the copay. This option will require a denial letter from DES child care assistance.

You still may be eligible for financial assistance through the city of Tempe or Quality First if you meet the requirements. The denial email or letter from DES will be requested prior registration.

Yes. All families seeking financial assistance through the city must apply to DES child care assistance . Once your child is selected in our lottery process, the approval or denial letter will be requested.

We complete most of the registrations prior the first day of school, but we will be enrolling new children every time a child is disenrolled from the program, until January 2024.

All the applications will be randomized every time an opening comes up, so all the families have the same chances to be called independently of the order they have applied.
