LPC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
No owners, no profits. Tuition covers teacher salaries, classroom materials, the building, and the programs — nothing else.

Scholarships available. We accept Massachusetts CCFA subsidies. Tell us about your situation and we will walk you through the options.
Billed monthly, in advance.
Tuition is based on your weekly schedule, billed monthly, and due in advance on the 1st of every month. Other weekly schedules and adjusted rates may be available — ask the office.
Early drop-off from 7:30 or 7:45 AM is available on a permanent or occasional basis. A permanent extension to your schedule (say, 7:30–1 or 8–3:45) is priced individually: the office takes your basic hourly rate, adds 15%, and applies that to the extra time.
Occasional overtime — early or late — is sometimes available when planned in advance: $18 per hour for preschoolers, $20 per hour for toddlers.
Attend September through June, hold your spot.
You can attend LPC for 10 months — September through June — take July and August off (it must be both months), and come back to a reserved spot in the fall.
Let the office know by March 15 if you would like to take advantage of the 10-month option; otherwise you're enrolled in the 12-month program. A non-refundable hold fee of 10% of your current monthly tuition per month (minimum $250) applies to keep the slot.
Cost shouldn't be the barrier.
We run a tuition-reduction scholarship program for enrolled families whose child-care costs put a heavier-than-typical load on the household budget. Applications go out to families each spring, once the next year's budget and tuition are set — and they're available from the office on request any time.
Talk to the office about your situation — we'd rather work it out than lose you.
See it before you commit.
The best way to weigh the cost is to walk the halls. Tours can be arranged any weekday morning, usually between 9:30 and 11:00 AM, and typically last about half an hour — we'll answer every question.
