Program Hours: Our program runs from late August- May, 8:30 am-12:30 pm and follows the Santa Barbara Public School District schedule for holidays.

Locations: Sessions will rotate through a selection of diverse locations with abundant natural space throughout Santa Barbara and Goleta approximately every 5-8 weeks. Details, directions, and specifics will be provided during play dates, upon enrollment, or upon request.

Tuition, per year, for the 2024-25 school year is*:

(payable all at once or in ten monthly installments)

2 days a week: $4,670

3 days a week: $6,980

4 days a week: $9,290

5 days a week: $11,600

*If cost is a barrier to inclusion, please reach out to us directly. We’ve explored many options including sliding scale, tiered tuition, scholarships, etc. and while we haven’t found a plan that works for both incoming families and our program as a whole, we are willing to work with families who need it to include them in our program.

Everyone deserves to be included so just ask.

Because we operate on public land, it is impossible to account for all of the possibilities that may require us to relocate (closures due to weather/ maintenance/ private events etc.). Parents will be notified of any changes via email as soon as possible and alternate locations will not exceed beyond 10 miles from the original location.
