Sliding Scale Tuition
Starting with our 2025 Summer Camp season, we are introducing a sliding scale pricing model to ensure fair and accessible tuition for all families. Our three-tier pricing structure is based on gross family income and household size, making childcare more affordable for those who need it most.
Stay tuned as we work toward implementing equitable pricing options for the 2025-2026 After School Club school year.
Time for Tuition Program
For every hour that you volunteer your time at our events, programs, or building maintenance, we will offer an $18 discount.
2 8-Hour Days of Volunteership could turn into:
A FREE week of Summer Camp
A FREE month of After School Club
Payment Plans
By contacting our childprograms@lccenter.org email address, you are able to set up a payment plan that best works with your schedule. We offer monthly, weekly, and biweekly payment plan options utilizing our QuickBooks online invoicing program.
Sibling Discount
Need to enroll more than one child in childcare? When your first child attends at full price, we offer 10% tuition of each additional sibling.
Sponsor a Student
In 2024, we were proud to provide over $5,700 in financial assistance to support working families in need. These programs are made possible by the generosity of donors like you. Please consider sponsoring a student or family so we can expand our financial aid offerings even further in 2025.
A donation of $150 covers the cost of a week’s worth of healthy organic snacks for our entire After School Club.
A donation of $275 provides a month of After School Club or a week of Summer Camp to a student in need.
A donation of $500 offers crucial financial support to a family with more than one learner enrolled in our programs
