Affording Sankofa Learning Center
At Sankofa Learning Center, we strive to make Montessori education accessible and affordable. To support families in your educational journey, we offer several options to help make quality early childhood education possible:
1. We accept Care 4 Kids
We are proud to participate in the Connecticut Care 4 Kids subsidy program to help eligible families cover childcare costs.
2. Income-Based Tiered Tuition
We offer a limited number of tuition spots on an income-based sliding scale. This means we set aside spaces specifically to support families who may not be able to pay full tuition but who deeply value Montessori education for their child.
Learn about which tuition programs may be available to your family. Please reach out to us at info@sankofalearningcenter.org if you have any questions about our tuition system.
3. Flexible Payment Schedules
We understand that paying upfront isn’t always feasible. Affordable payment plans are available to help families manage tuition in ways that work for your budget.
The child who has felt a strong love for his surroundings and for all living creatures, who has discovered joy and enthusiasm in work, gives us reason to hope that humanity can develop in a new direction.
- Dr. Maria Montessori
