Tuition

As a cooperative preschool, our tuition is kept low through parent involvement. Many of us see this as a dual benefit. Not only do we enjoy moderate tuition payments, but also we have the opportunity to share fully in our children's first school experiences and to gain from the parenting education unique to working closely with teachers and other parents. Valley Drive is committed to offering scholarship assistance each year.

Below is the Tuition schedule for the 2010-2011 school year.
