Tiered Tuition Rates
Meadowsweet Montessori is committed to equity and inclusion. We offer a need-based flexible tuition program because we believe educational opportunities should be available to all families in our community regardless of financial means. To ensure socio-economic diversity at Meadowsweet Montessori, we will reserve spots for children of all income levels. We want to work with your family to make our school accessible.
We trust families to select the tier that best fits their circumstances. We may request income verification to ensure equitable access for all.
Voucher
For our current '26-'27 school year
We proudly accept funding through the New York State Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) and other public subsidy programs. These can significantly reduce or fully cover tuition, even for families with moderate incomes. For example, a family of four (4) earning up to $108,000 annually may still be eligible for significantly reduced or full tuition support.
