Tuition

As a co-operative 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 child's first school experience, and gain from the continuing parenting education unique to working so closely with teachers and other parents. Valley Drive is committed to offering scholarship assistance each year.

Below is the Tuition schedule for the 2009-2010 school year.
