Well if it's year round that works out to like less than $17 per week I think. Depending on how long the day is each week that isn't bad. But I agree, seeing the full year price in one hit is kind of daunting.

its two hours a week!

amazinggrace · 11-18-2008, 07:09 PM

Seems very fair to me.

amazinggrace · 11-18-2008, 07:11 PM

I pay a sitter $10 a hour so that woudl be $20 for two hours 4 weeks in a month $80 a month x 12 months in a year $960 a year.

Wow, never looked at it like that.

I just dont have 850 plus 100 for a fee up front! I would think it would be worth it if it didnt take so long to get there for just two hours.

amazinggrace · 11-18-2008, 07:16 PM

You have to pay a year in advance?

That I would not do, ever. You do not know the staff, the other children, how your child will react.

Do they have a payment plan/schedule. Unless you are in a very well of area, I don't know many that could trhow down $950.

yeah there are pics on the site and there are range rovers etc LOL

The site says after the last interview you set up a tuition contract. I would think there couls ba a montly/bi-monthly payment schedule in the contract.

They also offer tuition assitance,

It looks like a very "high-end" scholl if that is the right phrase.

I like the Waldorf style to teaching, however I woudl be just as happy with Montessouri if that was more readly available.
