Financial Aid

Financial aid is available to eligible families across all of our programs through The First School Financial Aid Trust, an independent non-profit established in 1999. The Trust underwrites tuition for families who would otherwise be unable to attend our school. In addition to generous donations from members in our community, we organize annual fundraising events and community activities like a jog-a-thon and campus-specific movie nights.

Unique among local preschools, our goal is to provide aid to 10-15% of families, focusing on those with demonstrated financial need across diverse backgrounds.

Financial aid applications are due in March for the following school year. We rely on an independent assessment from Clarity for Financial Aid to determine eligibility. Allocation amounts vary greatly and can cover up to 98% of tuition.
