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.
