What we offer
& who it's for

Every program runs Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, August through May. Each one is built on the same House of Growth framework β€” what changes is the depth and focus as your child grows.

Rolling admissions. We accept applications year-round based on available space β€” so you don't have to wait for a specific enrollment window. Once accepted, a registration fee of $275 holds your child's spot.

What tuition
covers.

Monthly tuition covers your child's full program day β€” Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. The materials fee is all-in for the semester: no additional charges for enrichment activities, classroom supplies, or field trips.

The application fee is charged once we've received everything needed to review your child's file. The registration fee is charged at acceptance to hold your child's spot. Neither is charged before you've had a conversation with us.

Questions about payment timing or billing? Just ask on your intro call and we'll walk through it with you.

We know this is a real decision.
We took it seriously too.

Like you, we think carefully about where time and resources go. Building a program like IA means making real decisions β€” about staffing, about materials, about what it actually costs to create a learning environment that does what we say it does.

Our tuition reflects what it genuinely takes to run this well β€” to attract and keep the right people, to maintain the level of expertise and professionalism our families deserve, to stay sustainable, and to be here for our families long-term. The specialists, the training, the environment, the systems β€” none of it happens without the resources to sustain it. We've set our rate as thoughtfully as we could, because we want to still be here β€” serving kids and families β€” ten years from now.

If you have questions about any of it, just ask. We'd rather have an honest conversation than have cost be a silent barrier.
