TUITION ASSISTANCE
At Kirkwood Children’s House, we are passionate about our approach to early childhood Montessori education. We value the cultural, racial, and economic diversity of our community, and believe that quality early childhood education should be more accessible to all.
In partnership with Kirkwood Area Every Child Promise, and the Friends of Kirkwood Children’s House scholarship fund, we are able to provide a limited number of need-based scholarships when classroom openings allow. Kirkwood Area Every Child Promise is a local organization whose goal is to provide preschool scholarships and family support for families living within the KSD boundaries who have financial constraints. Kirkwood Children’s House is partnered with this organization already, so if you are in need of financial support, we encourage you to apply with them directly.
