Tuition Schedule

Rate increases happen yearly every September.

Sibling and pre-payment discounts are available. Please contact our registrar at tour@seattlelearningcenter.com to learn more about our discount and credit programs.

Absences/Vacation Credit

Because the Center operates on a monthly budget with expenses that occur whether or not an individual child is present, we cannot give tuition discounts due to illness, holidays or vacations.  Long-term families may receive a vacation credit and should contact our billing manager to learn more.

Automatic Payments

Automatic bill pay through your bank is required for tuition payments. A late fee will be applied after the 5 day grace period. We currently do not accept DSHS subsidies.
