Tuition and Fees
Registration & Tuition

A non-refundable registration fee is required at the time of enrollment by the parent to hold the child’s place at Humpty Dumpty. (For exceptions, refer to bylaws.) 

Tuition is paid September through May.  The monthly tuition is based on the number of days school is in session September through May.  It is then calculated so that each month’s tuition is the same dollar amount.  Therefore when there are fewer (or more) days in a month than normal, tuition remains the same.    

Tuition is withdrawn automatically from the designated account on the tenth day of each month, without exception or reduction due to absences or vacations. Please make sure there are funds in your account to cover the cost of tuition.  If the transaction cannot be processed due to insufficient funds or some other reason, tuition will have to be paid by check or cash before the next school day and a $10 late fee will be incurred.  An automatic transfer form must be filled out with an attached voided check at least one week prior to the child’s start date to allow for proper processing. 

Families that do not want have tuition automatically withdrawn from their account can pay for their child’s tuition by semester.  This can be collected in the form of cash, check or money order.  The first semester (September – December) tuition is due by August 10th.  The second semester (January – May) tuition is due by December 10th. 

If your family incurs an unexpected financial strain and tuition cannot be made by the late fee deadline, please discuss your individual situation with the President A.S.A.P.


Buy-Out Option

For families that are not available to parent help but still want to be a part of the Humpty experience, we have a limited number of Buy Out positions available in each class where parents pay a higher monthly tuition in lieu of parent helping.  These parents are still required to serve on a team and adhere to all of the other parent responsibilities (school supplies list, driving for field trips, etc.)  These positions are given out on a first-come first-serve basis.  For more information, contact our Membership Chair or Enrollment Coordinator.

End of the Semester Statements


Humpty’s finance team will provide each family with an end-of-the-semester statement showing all of the fees the family has paid to date.  Please check with your accountant to find out if your tuition is tax deductible.  Please note that late fees and no-show fees are not included on this statement.
