Tuition & Fees
We strive to keep our tuition as affordable as possible while continuing to provide a high-quality preschool program. Parental involvement keeps our tuition rates low, while allowing us to pay our teachers a professional salary.
Annual tuition is paid in nine (9) installments. The tuition installments are due on the first of each month until tuition is paid in full for the year. The monthly tuition installments listed below reflect the current tuition rate for the current school year. Final tuition amounts are determined and voted upon by our current membership in the spring. Tuition rates and the corresponding monthly installments for the 2023 – 2024 school year (begins in September 2023) are established in Spring 2023.
We offer a discount of 10% to families with more than one child in the school. The discount is off the monthly tuition of each additional child.
Dulin has a scholarship to provide funds for families who would otherwise be unable to attend Dulin or to help current families continue their enrollment at Dulin during times of financial hardship. Find out how to apply on our Scholarship page.
