Financial Aid and Discounts 2026–2027
Program Deposit / Capstone Credit: At the beginning of your child's start in each program we ask for a program deposit. This deposit allows us to support and uphold the integrity of our Montessori program. When your child completes a developmental cycle (the kindergarten year, 3rd year of elementary, 6th year of elementary, and 8th grade) the Program Deposit can go towards a tuition payment of that capstone year. If you are continuing on into the next program it can be rolled into that deposit. The Program Deposit is non-refundable if you leave before the end of your capstone year.
Sibling Discount: 5% sibling discount towards younger sibling's tuition.
Educator Discount: Because we know many educators will work hours similar to our own, and we appreciate their work in this field we are so committed to, we are offering 10% off of full time or part-time early care and after care.
If attending Puddletown seems cost-prohibitive for your family’s current financial situation, please fill out this FACTS form so we can start a conversation about financial support.
We welcome tuition payments from ERDC and Childcare Resource and Referral.
