Tuition & Enrollment

At UUTUKU Montessori Forest Preschool, we are committed to creating a very small, intentional program that allows for meaningful connection, individualized learning, and daily outdoor experiences. Tuition supports the materials, environment, and care that make this kind of learning possible.

🌲Tuition

$950 per month (August–May)
UUTUKU follows a 10-month school year program. Tuition is consistent each month and is not adjusted for holidays, breaks, or weather-related closures. Tuition reflects the full school year rather than the number of days in a given month.

Sibling Discount
If siblings are enrolled at the same time, a 5% discount will be applied to the second sibling. 

🌲Enrollment Fees

• $100 Materials Fee
  Supports Montessori materials, classroom supplies, and outdoor learning tools.

• $300 Snack Fee
  Provides daily, nourishing snacks for children throughout the school year.

• Enrollment Deposit
  A deposit equal to one month’s tuition is due at the time of enrollment to secure your child’s space. This deposit will be applied to your child’s final month of tuition.  The deposit is non-refundable if a family withdraws within 30 days of the school start date.

🌲Payment & Late Fees

Tuition is due on the 1st of each month.

A $50 late fee will be applied if payment is not received by the 5th of the month. Each family will be granted one late fee grace per school year.

If payment is more than 10 days late, attendance may be paused until the account is brought current.

🌲Withdrawal Policy

We understand that family needs can change. If you need to withdraw your child from the program, we ask for 30 days’ written notice.

The 30-day notice policy applies through February 1st. After February 1st, families who withdraw are responsible for tuition through the end of the school year (May), as we are typically unable to fill a space for only a short remaining period.  Because we operate with small, limited enrollment, tuition is still due during the 30-day notice period, whether or not your child attends.

🌲 A Note on Enrollment

Because we intentionally keep our program small, enrollment is limited and spaces are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

We understand that choosing a preschool is both an emotional and financial decision. If you have any questions about tuition or enrollment, we welcome you to reach out—we’re happy to connect and help you determine if UUTUKU is the right fit for your family.
