FINANCIAL AID

Quality childcare should not be out of reach.

We accept these state-funded programs and work with families one-on-one.

Quality childcare should not be out of reach. We accept several state, county, and community programs that cover part or all of tuition for families who qualify.

Thrive by 5 — Families Forward Scholarships

Through The Children’s Trust and the Thrive by 5 initiative, Families Forward Scholarships help working families who may not qualify for School Readiness still afford high-quality childcare for children ages 0–5. Families may qualify with household income up to 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. Covers a portion of tuition plus up to $50 toward registration. Limited spots — apply at thechildrenstrust.org/parent/programs.

School Readiness Program

Florida’s School Readiness program provides subsidized childcare for working families who meet income guidelines. It can cover infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age care. Apply through the Early Learning Coalition of Miami-Dade/Monroe — we’ll help you navigate the paperwork.

VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten)

Completely free for every 4-year-old in Florida, regardless of income. 540 state-funded hours toward kindergarten readiness.

Sibling discount & payment plans

Family-appreciation discount: 10% off for families with two or more children enrolled at the same time, as long as at least one is enrolled full-time. The discount is applied to the oldest full-time sibling. No registration fee for siblings. Weekly and bi-weekly payment plans available for any family.
