Making Montessori Education Affordable

TUITION INFORMATION, FINANCIAL AID aT MCS RI,

& CCAP SUBSIDY

At the Montessori Community School of Rhode Island, we believe that finances should not be an obstacle to accessing high-quality Montessori education. In fact, the first schools founded by Dr. Maria Montessori were created for families who could not afford childcare.

For this reason, MCS RI offers financial aid to eligible families and also works with families through the State of Rhode Island Department of Human Services Childcare Assistance Program (CCAP).

Below, you will find our tuition rates for our current school year and our tuition rates for the 2024-2025 school year. In desiring to be even more accessible to our community, we are expanding our programming to include a twelve month option for families!

DHS Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) & Eligibility

Families who are wondering if they are eligible for the DHS Child Care subsidy can access the Department of Human Services website to see the requirements and instructions for applying to the program. We are the only Montessori School in Rhode Island currently accepting CCAP and we encourage all applicants with financial need to learn more about the program and explore their eligibility here. 

We do not want your financial status to be an obstacle for enrollment at Montessori Community School of RI, so if you do not qualify for the child care subsidy, we will do everything we can to award you the financial assistance you need.
