Paying for CMC
Our mission is to make Montessori education affordable to as many families as possible! To accomplish this, we offer Sliding Scale Fees to all families paying privately across a range of scheduling options; this means we charge fees to families that are responsive to both their financial circumstances and child care needs. We also partner with the state to enroll children from families eligible for Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC, formerly Title XX), the Child Care Choice Program (CCCP, sometimes referred to as child care vouchers), and the RISE Child Care Scholarship through Action for Children.
​
All families that pay for CMC privately have the option to share documentation of their financial resources in order to be placed on our Sliding Scale. Our Sliding Scale is an in-house financial aid option for middle-income families. It means our private pay fees range from competitive with other higher-quality child care options in Northland to competitive with other fully-implemented Montessori schools in Central Ohio.
Please enter your desired schedule(s) at CMC into our Fee Estimator right below to better understand the range of possible fees offered by our Sliding Scale:
We also do all we can to make CMC accessible to families who are not able to pay for CMC privately!
We contract with the state to provide Publicly Funded Child Care (PFCC, formerly Title XX) and Child Care Choice Program (CCCP, sometimes referred to as child care vouchers) through the Franklin County Department of Job and Family Services (FCDJFS). We also work with Action for Children to accept the RISE Child Care Scholarship. Our team would be happy to assist your family in the application process. We enroll and plan first days for children with a receipt of application to PFCC and CCCP as well as modest registration fees and weekly copays.
For more detailed information regarding paying for CMC, please refer to our Family Handbook.
