tuition, hours, and joining us
Art Beast Child Development Center is opening in September 2017. We will begin contacting interested families in August and be able to conduct tours and enroll children in late August or early September. We will also post a phone number and email in August once staffing is in place to devote time to outreach and conversations with families. We thank you for your patience as we ready, license, and staff the site! Art Beast Children's Studio, our arts playspace in midtown Sacramento, though connected in philosophy, will not be able to answer questions about the new child development center.

joining our center
1. The center opens in September 2017. We will begin enrolling families in late August once the building and play yard are renovated and ready for tours and chidlren. To get on our wait list, please complete this form.
2. Come for a Tour: When an opening becomes available at the school, we will contact families at the top of our wait list for a tour. Parent(s) tour the school and have a conversation with the director. Children may attend the tour though parents may prefer to spare them the adult talk. We apologize for the lack of on-demand tours; however, this policy ensures our school community experiences fewer interruptions and the full attention of their teachers.
3. Application and Registration Fee: When the center and family agree there is a strong philosophical fit, families can complete an application. A nonrefundable application and enrollment fee of $175 is due with the application. This will secure your child's spot. The full month's tuition paid in full will be collected before the first day of school.
Tuition includes meals and snacks to keep spirits high.
