Enrollment for returning families begins June 2nd and then remaining spots will open to new families on July 1st. Come meet us at one of our events in our facebook group below!

Tuition & fees

We have a $25 Family Membership Fee per school year due once your enrollment is accepted. This non-refundable, non-transferable fee is per family and holds your spot for the current school year. You will receive an email with your Total Due and payment options. We charge tuition for children age 3+ by September 1st, 2023. Younger siblings are always welcome at no additional charge.

SPARK has a daily enrollment cap so enrollment is first come, until we are full. Returning families are eligible for a discount. SPARK also offers a sibling discount and free tuition for every sibling after the 3rd child. Some families come on both Mondays and Thursdays and some choose to come one day per week. There is no discount for coming both days so the tuition amounts below would be doubled for families attending both days. Below are the tuition options with discounts:

Refunds:
Our family membership fee and tuition is non-refundable. We require that new members visit at least once before enrolling to ensure SPARK is a good fit for their family. This visit can occur during our semester, at an Open House, or at a summer Play Date.

Financial Hardship: If you are experiencing financial hardship, please apply for financial aid on your enrollment form. We are also able to set up monthly payment plans for tuition payments. SPARK uses money from fundraising to provide financial assistance to families in need. All families are encouraged to help SPARK raise money for our assistance funds. In addition to direct donations, please choose SPARK as your organization to donate to with Kroger Community Rewards accounts.

Prorated Fees: Membership Fee and Tuition are sometimes prorated if you start in the middle of the school year. Please contact us to discuss.

What will help to create an environment in which unschooling can flourish? For children to learn from the world around them, the world around them should be merrily available, musically and colorfully accessible, it should feel good and taste good. They should have safety and choices and smiles and laughter.
