​Scheduling and Sessions

 Apple Playschools generally operates for care between 8:30am and 5:30pm, Monday through Friday. Specific contract information can be found on the Green Apple and Manzanitas websites. Tuition rates are on our website and vary based on the length of care and number of days a family chooses, as well as on the age of the child. Due to staggered drop-off and limited capacity in response to the COVID-19 crisis, these "typical hours" will vary, but contracts remain the same.
  • Early Drop-off Care: 7:30 am to 8:30 am (Not available in the 21-22 or 22-23 school year)
  • Morning session: 8:30 am to 12:30 pm 
  • Full Day: 8:30 am to 3:30 pm
  • Extended Day: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (Currently reduced to 4:30pm pick up. Will be expanded when staffing allows)
There is a two-morning session-per-week minimum for registered children.  Manzanitas strongly recommends a three-morning minimum for the purposes of immersion and language acquisition.

Each child is allowed to register for their own individually tailored schedule with a combination of any of these sessions; however their schedule must be consistent week-to-week. For example, you can register for MW half day preschool session and Friday Full day preschool, but this schedule will remain the same week-to-week until a schedule change or withdrawal notice is received and confirmed by the Program Director.

Calculating Mixed-Day Schedules

Some families prefer a schedule that combines half days with full days, or full days with extended days. If a family requests a mixed day schedule, the tuition rate is calculated by taking the average monthly rate. For example: 

If a family wanted 3 half-days and 2 full-days of preschool-age care:
  • ​5 Half Day Price + 5 Full Day Price / 2 schedule types
  • $947 + $1,355 = $1,151 Total monthly tuition in a 12-month contract (additional percentages will be added if signing for a school year or university contract)

Tuition Changes when Aging Up

As children grow up in our programs, they move from class to class according to their developmental stage, social needs, and classroom capacity. The age of children at these transition moments can vary quite a bit from child to child. Your Program Director will be able to give you specific details about your program's transition process. Tuition rates change when a child reaches 12 months and 3 years. The new rate will be reflected on your invoice the first full month after your child's birthday. 

Children who have not yet attended their Kindergarten year are considered preschool aged children and will be charged the preschool rate regardless of age.
