We know that child care is an investment, and at Healthy Kids, we’re committed to being transparent about where your tuition goes and why it matters for your child.

Caring, Qualified Staff

Program Staff: Your child is supported by experienced educators, assistants, and site leaders who are trained in child development, safety, and engagement.
Administrative Support: Behind the scenes, our full-time team manages billing, registration, onboarding & hiring, licensing, and day-to-day support so your program runs smoothly and reliably.

Staff Training & Professional Development

Your tuition also supports ongoing training in:

Child safety and CPR/First Aid
Positive behavior management
Curriculum planning and enrichment

This ensures your child’s caregivers stay current, capable, and confident.

Facility & Space Usage

Many locations require facility rental or usage fees to operate within schools or community buildings. Your tuition allows us to maintain clean, safe, and familiar spaces that your child enjoys daily.

Licensing, Insurance & Safety

We are a state-licensed provider and must meet high standards for:

Staff-to-child ratios
Emergency protocols and drills
Background checks
Facility inspections

Your tuition also helps cover insurance and compliance costs, keeping your child safe and our programs in good standing.

Supplies & Enrichment

Daily programming is enriched by:

Arts & crafts materials
Homework supplies
Sports and play equipment
Games and interactive tools

Program Development & Innovation

Your tuition fuels growth and progress. It helps us:

Pilot new activities and clubs
Enhance curriculum across seasons
Upgrade technology and systems like Playground and parent communications

Operational Costs

Behind the scenes, your tuition covers vital basics like:

Facility cleaning and upkeep at certain locations
IT infrastructure and software
Office supplies, signage, and administrative costs

These ensure your child’s program operates smoothly—every single day.

Every Healthy Kids location is unique! If you’re curious about how tuition supports your specific site, our team would love to walk you through it. Just reach out—we’re happy to help.
