Tuition Assistance
Mayflower is a mission-based preschool to fulfill at minimum 20% of enrollment through tuition assistance (scholarships). Montessori education fosters independent learning and follows the child in their development.
Mayflower Early Childhood Center serves an economically diverse community and provides high quality Montessori learning environments that meet the developmental needs of the whole child.
After you have been invited to fill out an Enrollment Agreement from Anne Estes, Head of School, please request a Tuition Assistance Application that we will send you through our online system, Transparent Classroom. This application is for a MECC-provided scholarship.
In addition, we ask tuition assistance families to follow these steps in order enroll at MECC:
1. See if you quality for an Early Learning Scholarship through the State of Minnesota. These are available to families earning 185% or less of the Federal Poverty Rate who are enrolled at schools like MECC that have 4-Star Parent Aware status with the Department of Human Services.
Our Family Engagement Coordinator can support you with your application. Please contact Jenny Thompson at jenny@mayflowermontessori.org for more information.
