Enrollment includes

Due at registration: $100 Non-Refundable Registration Fee and May 2023 Tuition (per child)

Due in August: $475.00 Refundable Co-op Deposit per family (refund dependent upon circumstances). The Co-op deposit doesn't apply to the Parenting Support class.

For tuition payment, there are two options:

Families may elect to pay in full at time of registration.
Families can choose a Monthly Payment Plan. This option requires a credit card on file, and will charge the $100 Non-Refundable Registration Fee and May tuition at the time of registration. The Refundable Co-op Deposit will be collected in August. Then, beginning on September 1, eight equal tuition payments will be charged to the card on file on the first of each month through April 1.

If you enroll after September 1, please contact the Office Manager at admin@littlehands.org to prorate your tuition based on the date of registration.
Sibling Tuition Discount: Little Hands offers a discount for families enrolling more than one child in classes at Little Hands during the same term. Each family pays full tuition for the first child and will receive a 25% discount for all siblings with tuition of equal or lesser amount.

*There are no co-op requirements for the Parent Connection Class or the Baby 'n' Me Mini Session.

Little Hands is a volunteer-driven organization, and your active participation ensures the smooth operation of the overall success of the program and a positive experience for your family.

Co-Op Deposit

A Co-op Deposit (as described on the Tuition & Fees tab) is required at the beginning of the school year and is reimbursed once the family completes their tasks as outlined in the chart to the right. Should this not be completed by the end of the school year, the Deposit will be forfeited.
If a class is dropped, the Co-op Deposit will be refunded per the Class Refund Policy outlined in the FAQs.

In-Class Participation	Little Hands parents take an active role in class (more or less depending on the class/age of child). We ask all parents to be good classroom citizens, help on stations, be supportive and respectful in discussions, and help with cleanup and snack on a rotating basis.
Parent Education Night Classes	Little Hands parents attend 3 additional night classes during the year. There is an all-school orientation in September, and then a spring and fall parent ed night with your class. The 2/3s Class also holds additional discussion nights during the year.
School Job	Each family selects a school job for the year. Whether it’s making playdough, planting plants, getting donations, technology, leading events, or many others, we’ve got a job for you! Jobs take approximately 12-16 hours over the year. Review school job descriptions here
Event Volunteering	Families divide and conquer to host our various events throughout the year. You get to choose the event you’d like to support. Event volunteering usually takes about 4-6 hours. It's tons of fun to work with and get to know new families on your event team!
Saturday Maintenance Day	Little Hands prides itself on our organized and clean facility. Parents help make that happen. Each family chooses one Saturday during the year to gather with others from 8am to 11:30am, share some coffee and donuts, and make the place sparkle and shine!

Registration: Returning families may register on February 1, 2022. New families may register after February 10, 2022.
