Tuition

As a cooperative preschool, our structure helps keep tuition affordable while maintaining low ratios, experienced teachers, and rich programming. Tuition covers:

  • High-quality play-based curriculum

  • Conscious Discipline implementation

  • Outdoor learning and nature-based activities

  • Special events, materials, and classroom resources

The tuition table below is for Regular School Hours (9am-1pm). See below for additional information about ExtendedCare, which includes BeforeCare (8am-9am) and AfterCare (1pm-5pm).

This information is current for the 2026-2027 School Year, and will be updated in March 2027 for the 2027-2028 school year. The Board of Directors adjusts tuition rates on an annual basis to ensure we can maintain high-quality staff and facilities. IPCP is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
