Tuition & Tuition Assistance

At Fernwood Montessori, we are committed to ensuring that every child has access to a Montessori education.  To support this commitment, Fernwood offers need-based tuition assistance to bridge the financial gap for families who share our educational vision.

​

• Secure & Confidential Assistance: We partner with FACTS Financial Aid Management, a trusted third-party system, to ensure a fair, secure, and entirely confidential financial review for need-based tuition assistance.

We accept state Child Care Scholarships (CCS) to help eligible working families in Maryland cover or offset the cost of high-quality early education. Learn more about the Child Care Scholarship and check your eligibility here.
