Tution Rates for 2026-2027

Tution at The Willow School

At The Willow School, our tuition model is designed to directly support our mission of equity, access, and economic justice for both children and educators. High-quality early childhood education requires skilled, stable teachers and an environment where every child—regardless of background—has the chance to learn, grow, and belong. By aligning tuition with the true cost of care, we are able to offer meaningful financial assistance to families who need it, maintain small ratios, invest in inclusive materials and outdoor gear, and provide competitive, sustainable wages for our educators. This approach ensures that the children in our community receive exceptional care and that the teachers who nurture them can thrive. In short: our tuition doesn’t just fund a program—it furthers a mission of fairness, dignity, and opportunity for everyone who walks through our doors.
