There are three options for tuition: free through Aspire, free through subsidy/scholarship, or parent paid.

Both the Aspire program and state subsidy/scholarship pays tuition. Parents must already be enrolled in the scholarship program to be accepted.

The Aspire program pays full tuition for 1) low income families, 2) families who speak another language at home, 3) for foster children or homeless families, or 4) children with IEPs. Low income families qualify if you can show proof with a tax return, or that you are on WIC, Snap, or Food Stamps. If you are interested, send an email to Ms. Bonnie at WeePeople.Us @gmail.com to discuss your specific circumstances. This program is part of the PreK expansion initiative.

For families who do not qualify for free prek, parent paid is $230 per week.

I am an approved Maryland preschool in the Southgate Elementary district.

Tuition includes state approved preschool (9-3:30) and includes before and after school care (8-5) Sept through June, and includes all food, snacks, arts, crafts, and activities. Some field trips may incur an additional fee. Parents must 1)ensure their children attend on a regular basis, 2) supply their child a set of extra clothes, 3) appropriate jackets/coats and shoes for outdoor activities, and 4) abide by handbook policies.
