Tuition Assistance

Tuition Assistance
 Up to 25% of our families receive some form of tuition assistance, which can range from 5%-75% of tuition.

Tuition assistance for 2021-22 has almost all been allocated EXCEPT for emergency situations — or families who have infants and need less then $400/month of scholarship support.

St. John’s Childcare no longer has a tuition assistance contract with the California Department of Education (CDE). We have NO fully funded spaces.
We are NOT able to accept vouchers from Bananas or other CDE funding sources.
We do have a tuition assistance program to provide spaces to families who are income eligible (generally limited to families whose combined income does not exceed $75,000 annually), and meet certain need and eligibility requirements.
All  families are required to make a financial contribution towards their child’s tuition.
Sliding scale below is a guideline, generally we are not able to fund very many families at these rates.  For example, for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, we distributed $38,000 in tuition assistance, to twelve families, ranging from 5-75% support.
