What your tuition includes
All meals
Home-cooked breakfast, lunch, and a daily snack — never an extra line item.
A low 1:6 ratio
One small mixed-age group, so your child is truly known — not a premium tier.
Reggio Emilia curriculum
Real project-based learning, art, and a working garden — included, not an upsell.
Daily garden & outdoor time
Fresh air, free play, and hands in the dirt every day — rain or shine.
Daily updates & photos
Warm updates through your parent portal, so you never wonder how the day went.
No materials fee
Supplies are $0 — included in tuition. What you see here is what you pay.
How billing works
Tuition is a flat monthly rate that depends only on how many days a week your child attends — 2, 3, or 5 days. A one-time $200 registration fee reserves your spot, materials are included at no cost, and the only occasional add-on is a $1-per-minute late-pickup fee. Ask us about sibling discounts, too.
Help paying for care
California offers subsidized childcare and preschool through state and local programs. First 5 California and your local First 5 county commission, along with the resources at childcare.ca.gov, are good starting points for fee assistance. If cost is a barrier, ask us — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
Tuition questions
How much is tuition at Growing Garden?
Tuition is a flat monthly rate based on your schedule: $1,160/month for 2 days a week, $1,580/month for 3 days a week, and $2,200/month for full-time (5 days). Meals, materials, and our Reggio curriculum are all included. For context, full-time childcare in Los Angeles commonly runs $1,400–$2,800 a month, so a home-based program like ours is strong value.
Are meals and materials included?
Yes — home-cooked breakfast, lunch, and a daily snack are all included, with allergy-aware options, and the materials/supply fee is $0. There is no separate food or supply charge.
Do you offer part-time schedules or discounts?
Yes — we offer 2-day and 3-day part-time schedules ($1,160 and $1,580 a month) alongside full-time, and we offer sibling discounts. A short conversation is the best way to pick the schedule that fits your family.
Are there registration or hidden fees?
The only fees beyond monthly tuition are a one-time $200 enrollment/registration fee to reserve your spot and a $1-per-minute late-pickup fee. Materials and supplies are included, so there are no hidden charges.
