10% Multi-Child Discount
Families enrolling more than one child at a time receive a discount on the second child's tuition. The discount is applied to the lesser of the two children's tuition amounts. Only one discount per family can be used at a time. Please contact the Financial Director for more information.
Co-Op Volunteer Requirement
Cactus Wren is one of the oldest preschools in Sierra Vista. Heavy parent involvement has allowed us to keep tuition affordable since the beginning. We rely on the co-op model to keep our school running and affordable — that means we rely on our parents to volunteer their time at activities, donate supplies, help teachers prepare materials, and participate in whatever ways they are able. Every family is responsible for volunteering their time or donating supplies. More information will be supplied at your child's orientation.
Payment & Late Fees
Tuition is due on the 1st of the month. Tuition not paid by the 1st will result in a $25 late fee if still unpaid by the 7th, payable with the overdue tuition. If the overdue tuition + late fee is still unpaid by the 15th, an additional $25 late fee is added and the child will be suspended from school until all tuition and late fees are paid. Please contact the Financial Director before the 7th.
Tuition payments may be processed electronically from your Procare account, or you may deposit payments via check or money order in the grey tuition box inside the office door, or mail to:
