Cooperative Options & Financial Aid

At Heartsong, we believe in reciprocity - don't let money be a barrier. Our co-op model invites parents to share their skills in teaching or skilled labor in exchange for reduced tuition, fostering a collaborative and dynamic learning community. Teaching parents receive support in curriculum development, ensuring a rich educational experience for all. Work-trade options are also available, honoring the value of each family's contributions. Reach out to home@heartsongpreschool.com to learn more!

Parent Participation

Heartsong is a place in which education thrives with families actively participating in the life of our community. Parents commit to support via parent house equivalent to 2 hours per child per month. Parent jobs are an essential part of keeping our program strong, ensuring that our children learn in a beautifully tended, supportive environment.

From helping with festivals and maintaining our outdoor spaces to assisting with classroom needs and behind-the-scenes organization, each role contributes to the rhythm and well-being of Heartsong. By sharing our time and skills, we model service, stewardship, and collaboration for our children.
