Preschool Tuition Schedule 2009–2010

Our school offers only a full day standard tuition option (7:30 am-6:00 pm).  You may, of course, pick up your child before the end of the school day if that works better for your needs.

The students are in an Early Bird room before 9:00 am and with their class and teachers after 9:00 am.

Registration Fee:  September 2009 tuition, August 2010 tuition + Activity Fee

* The monthly tuition includes the required 16th Street J Membership.

New for 2009-2010!  We are pleased to be able to upgrade your family to a full Fitness Membership for the same required 16th Street J community membership fee included in your monthly tuition. 

Your family will have access to all of the fitness facilities—pool, gymnasium squash and racquetball courts, locker rooms, fitness center—and a wide range of group exercise classes free to Fitness Members. That’s a savings of $1,300 each year!  As always, your 16th Street J membership gives you substantial discounts on camp and other programs. Your Family Fitness Membership will start on the first day of the school year; please visit Member Services for details and to activate your membership.

** The Activity Fee covers field trips, extra classes (like swimming), special events and entertainers; it must be paid once per school year.

** The Preschool is licensed for children ages 2–5; therefore, a child must have had his/her second birthday in order to start preschool.  If your child is turning two after September 2 but before the end of December, we are able to offer you a spot for them to start after their 2nd birthday, but you will need to pay tuition for those months to hold the space.  If you would like to defer, we can put you back on the list for consideration as spaces become available.

All deposits, fees and tuition are non-refundable and must be paid from September through August, regardless of whether or not my child attends school during that period.  Tuition is due the first day of the month and that a $15 daily late fee will be assessed after the 5th of the month. 

If you have other questions, please contact Sarah Rabin Spira, Director, Early Childhood, Youth & Family Programs at sarahr@washingtondcjcc.org or (202) 777-3270.
