Affording Bay Farm
Just as every child is unique, every family's situation is unique.
1 in 3 Bay Farm families receive financial aid. Our approach is to work with families to determine the tuition amount that is appropriate for them and that puts attending Bay Farm within reach. We offer a Right Fit Tuition Program that provides financial aid to those who qualify. Awards may range up to 70% of tuition, and decisions are needs-based and funded solely by Bay Farm.
Bay Farm also accepts Massachusetts Child Care Vouchers through the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Families can check eligibility at Mass211 or the MACCRR website, apply through the EEC, and then notify Bay Farm once approved.

What does Right-Fit Tuition cover?
Your investment in your child's education at Bay Farm helps ensure they develop academically, socially, and emotionally in true Montessori fashion. Right-Fit Tuition is not designed to cover the entire cost of enrolling your child at Bay Farm; the goal is to find a tuition price that works within each family's financial reality.
How can I take part in the Right-Fit Tuition Program?
