Self-Pay Tuition and Fee Information

The Allan Hancock College Children’s Center Lab School strives to provide high-quality early care and education services at rates that are fair and responsive to the needs of families in our community. Tuition rates for self-pay families are based on the Santa Barbara County Maximum Reimbursement Rates and program operational costs.

Tuition is determined by:

• Child’s age group
• Number of certified childcare hours
• Full-time or part-time enrollment status

For tuition purposes:

• Part-time care is generally defined as fewer than 30 hours per week.
• Full-time care is generally defined as 30 hours or more per week.

Families will receive a childcare contract outlining approved days, hours, and tuition rates each semester. Tuition rates are subject to change based on state reimbursement updates, operational costs, or program adjustments. Families will receive advance notice of any tuition changes.
