Registration Fee $350.00
A non-refundable, one-time-only registration deposit will be due once your child is guaranteed placement in our program.

Program Deposit: A Program Deposit ($500 at CH and $800 at EL) is due June 1st. This deposit is applied to tuition at the end of the age-range of the program (when ready to transition to 1st grade from CH, to "4th grade" from Lower Elementary and to 7th grade from Upper Elementary). There is no Program Deposit for the Toddler Community.

Building Reserve Fee: Each newly-enrolling family must pay a Building Reserve Fee of $750 during their first year at Childpeace to support the long-term care of our building, purchased in 2007. It may be paid in one, two, or ten installments according to your tuition payment schedule. This fee is for children attending at the Thurman St. location and does not apply to The Terrace classroom.

Volunteer Expectation: Parent volunteerism is critical to the success of our school, both physically and in building a sense of community. Every family is expected to contribute their talents and time to fundraising, community, or classroom endeavors with a minimum of 12 hours (15 hours if more than one child is enrolled). A per-hour payment of $20/hour is charged at the end of the school year for families who have not reached this minimum level. The school makes every effort to connect families to volunteer work that fits their interests and abilities, and our goal is that no one uses the payment option.
