Tuition and Financial Aid
Tuition Rates
External support enables us to offer quality childcare at a reduced rate to those who qualify, including Brown University’s generous provision of our school building and our utilities, and additional support from state and federal quality grants as well as individual donors.
The maximum tuition at Brown Fox Point beginning September 2024 is $390 per week ($1,625/month billed monthly). Financial assistance is available for those families that qualify (and as our budget allows). A significant number of the families with children enrolled at Brown Fox Point benefit from financial assistance. Financial aid forms are distributed as part of the formal acceptance process. At that time, families can apply for financial aid and Brown Fox Point will notify families of their tuition rate shortly thereafter.
Additional Tuition Information
Breakfast, lunch and snacks are provided. Families also have the option of sending food from home.
Tuition is billed monthly. Fees must be paid by the fifth day of each month. We reserve the right to withhold service if tuition payments become overdue.
Fees are payable in full regardless of days your child misses. If your child is sick, or if your family is on vacation, you are still responsible for tuition payments for that period of time.
Fees are not waived when Brown Fox Point is closed for holidays, seasonal cleanings, staff development, or inclement weather. Check our calendar and read our notices to be aware of closings.
Children are generally enrolled for a full program year. If you withdraw your child before the end of the program year, we require a minimum of four weeks notice.
Tuition payments should be by credit card through Procare or by check or cash to administrative staff only. Please do not give payments to teachers.
Financial Aid
To apply for financial aid, families must complete the Financial Aid Application Form and submit along with supporting documentation to Brown Fox Point after being accepted. The Financial Aid Application asks questions that are pertinent to the process of determining eligibility and amount of aid to be awarded. The information in the Financial Aid Application is used solely to determine a family’s eligibility for financial aid; the information has no bearing whatsoever on enrollment. At all stages of the process, each applicant’s information is kept strictly confidential.
