Tuition rates apply to all Apple Playschools infant, toddler, and preschool programs. Tuition is based on age of the child, length of care, and type of contract. Families have the option to choose from several different contract options. This increases the tuition rate accordingly.

Scholarship Information
You can view scholarship information on our scholarships webpage.
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.
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.
- Early Drop-off Care: 7:30 am to 8:30 am (Not available in the 20-21 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

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 price is calculated by taking the 5-day tuition rate for the schedule selected and multiplying it by the number of days of care received in a month (20 business days).
For example, if a family wanted 2 half-days and 5 full-days of preschool care:
For example, if a family wanted 2 half-days and 5 full-days of preschool care:
- $834 (5-day morning price) /20 = 41.70 * 8 (# of half days a month) = $333.60
- $1,193 (5-day full day price) /20 = 59.65 * 12 (# of full days a month) = $715.80
- Total monthly tuition in a 12-month contract = $1049.40
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. However, as a child moves into a different stage, Infant > Toddler > Preschooler, their tuition rate changes.
At Manzanitas, tuition rates change based on the child's age. So, children move to the next rate on or after their birthday. At Green Apple, tuition changes based on the child's classroom or school. In all cases, children who have not yet attended their Kindergarten year are considered preschool aged children and will be charged the preschool rate regardless of age.
