A simple cost breakdown to help families see the value clearly.
Weekly Tuition: $165 per child
Here’s what that looks like broken down:
5 full days per week → about $33 per day
Up to 10.5 hours per day → roughly $3.15 per hour
That weekly rate covers 50+ hours of care, learning, and enrichment.
What makes this a strong value:
Full-day childcare often costs significantly more per day—and usually does not include meals or activities.
Many summer camps charge per day or per activity, which adds up quickly.
Beyond the Bell includes academics, enrichment, field trips, and meals in one package.
