To ensure consistent staffing and high-quality early learning experiences, our program requires that all tuition be paid one month in advance of care.
Tuition is due on the 25th of the month that is two months prior to care.
Tuition must be received no later than the 1st of the month immediately before care begins.
For example, tuition for the month of October is due on August 25th and must be received no later than September 1st.
If tuition is not received by the 1st, your child’s enrollment will be considered pending, and care may be paused until the balance is paid in full.
We recommend setting up recurring payments or scheduling reminders to avoid disruptions to care.
Our program is committed to supporting equitable access to early care and education. As an ELFA-qualified program, we follow all guidelines and funding rules provided by the San Francisco Department of Early Childhood (DEC).
ELFA-qualified programs may not charge or request the following from families funded through ELFA Vouchers:
These types of charges create financial barriers and are not aligned with the intent of the ELFA program, which is designed to remove economic obstacles to quality early care and education.
As part of our commitment to equity and access, our program prioritizes the enrollment of families who receive ELFA Vouchers. We recognize the importance of stable, high-quality care for families experiencing higher levels of economic pressure. By giving ELFA-funded families priority in our enrollment process, we support the ELFA mission of creating a more inclusive and accessible early learning system for all children, regardless of financial background.
If you are a family with an active ELFA Voucher or currently eligible for one, please inform our administrative team during the enrollment process so we can ensure priority access to available openings.
