Fees
The monthly fee at Little Sprouts is calculated based on the daily rate of $45. At the time of registration parents are provided a Fee Schedule that will outline their monthly fee based on the number of days their child attends in that month.  The Little Sprout program is closed on statutory holidays as well as the last two weeks of December.  Little Sprouts does not charge parents for these closures. 

Days
Choose from 1-5 days per week for the school year.  As an example each week:  Monday/Wednesday or Monday/ Thursday/Friday or perhaps just Tuesday’s. 


Summer School (July and August)

The program and policies remain in effect for the months of July and August.  The only exception is parents have the flexibility of enrolling their child for July and/or August and parents can also choose different days for each month their child is registered.
