Tuition for 2023-2024 
We will be offering a 5 days/week program for all students during the 2023-2024 school year. Our program can become full at any time during the open enrollment window, should this be the case we will open a waitlist. The priority of the Waiting List is determined by residency status and order of application date.

Parents will have the option to reduce the number of days their child(ren) attends school, however, there is only one tuition structure.  

Payment and Fees
Parents can make a one-time payment or enroll in our 10-month payment plan. 

One-Time Payment for the full school year’s tuition may be a preferred method of payment to avoid any monthly late fees. 

10-Month Payment Plan - First monthly payment is due August 1, the last monthly payment is due May 1. Each monthly payment covers 18 School Days (not including holidays, school closure dates, Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, or Staff Development Days). All monthly payments will be the same; the first month’s payment may be adjusted depending on the student’s start date.

All tuition dates mentioned above refer to school days only.

There are one-hundred eighty (180) calendar school days in a school year. Each of the individual 10-Month Payment Plan months covers eighteen (18) school days, including all minimum days.

All holidays and non-student days are excluded from cost and coverage.

Although the Temple City Early Learning Academy (TCELA) may offer care during non-student days, (such as Staff Development Day, Spring Break and Summer) attendance during these days will come at an additional to-be-determined cost to families. Enrollment/registration for non-student days is not included in the regular TCELA tuition dates and therefore, families are not guaranteed attendance space during these dates. More information for these dates will be released during the school year as the dates approach.
