FAQ
Does microschool replace daycare? +
Many do — full 8-hour days vs traditional school 8:30-3:00. For working parents who currently pay aftercare, microschool can be break-even or cheaper than public school + daycare.
Summer care? +
Most microschools follow 10-month calendars too. Budget summer camp or care separately, or pick a year-round microschool model.
