Tuition

The Children’s Treehouse Early Learning Center does not charge any fees for Registration.  Tuition must be paid for in advance of receiving child care services.  Tuition is due every other Friday for the following two weeks of services.

The Children’s Treehouse ELC accepts the following types of tuition:

Private Pay Tuition
Private pay tuition rates are available by calling and speaking with Christine or Julie at 484-784-5507.  Private pay tuition deposits are required in the amount equal to one week of child care.  The deposit will be applied to the child’s last weeks of care provided two weeks written notification is received.

Subsidized Tuition
Child Care Works (CCW) (formerly known as CCIS) provides financial assistance to help pay for child care so that parents can work and provide for their families.  Families pay a weekly co-pay directly to us.  We do not charge any additional fees.  To be eligible families must earn 200 percent of the federal poverty level or less and meet certain requirements (such as a family of 4 earning $50,200 or less). Apply for CCW online, call or visit the Early Learning Resource Network in your county.

Free Tuition
Free tuition is for children (ages 3-5) enrolled in the Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts program.  This program provides a high quality pre-k education to children who are living in families earning up to 300 percent of the federal income poverty level (such as a family of 4 earning $77,250 per year or less).  The 2019 Pre-K Counts income guidelines can be found here.
