Prices for all classes above are for balanced budget payments. Balanced budget payments are calculated based on the cost per scheduled school day throughout the entire school year, split into 9 equal payments. Families will also have the option to pay variable payments per month calculated based on the actual number of scheduled school days per month and the tuition cost per day. Tuition is due for all scheduled school days, even if a child is absent on a scheduled day or if a closure occurs due to weather or other necessitating event. With the exception of one teacher in-service day per school year, there is no charge for Little Wonders scheduled days off indicated on the preschool school calendar. We follow the Carlisle Area School District calendar from the day after Labor Day until the Friday prior to Labor Day. Families will enroll in either Balanced or Variable monthly payments prior to the start of the 2025-2026 school year.
