Tiered Tuition Model

Everbloom uses a tiered tuition model based on combined household income. This allows families across a wide range of financial circumstances to access Montessori education at rates designed to be more equitable.

Income tiers:

  • Tier A: $0–$69,000

  • Tier B: $69,001–$98,000

  • Tier C: $98,001–$155,000

  • Tier D: $155,001–$300,000

  • Tier E: $300,000+

Families confirm tier placement during enrollment by uploading prior-year tax documentation.

  • Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) is Michigan’s free Pre-K program for eligible four-year-olds.

    What this means for families:

    • school-day tuition is fully covered

  • Michigan’s MDHHS Childcare Scholarship helps eligible families reduce or eliminate childcare costs by providing state-supported assistance for early childhood education.

    Families who qualify may receive:

    • reduced tuition

    • fully covered tuition in some cases

    • reduced or waived application fees

    Tier A families are required to apply for the MDHHS Childcare Scholarship as part of the enrollment process.

    Not sure if you qualify? Recent state changes mean many more families are now eligible than in previous years. Our team is happy to help you understand the process and next steps.

  • The Michigan Tri-Share Child Care Program helps lower childcare costs by dividing tuition into three equal parts shared between:

    • your family

    • your employer

    • the State of Michigan

    When an employer participates, this program can significantly reduce monthly childcare expenses for families while expanding access to high-quality early childhood education.

    If your employer is already enrolled in Tri-Share, you may be able to apply right away. If not, we encourage families to ask their employer about joining the program, as new employers can participate.

    Our enrollment team is happy to help you understand how Tri-Share works and whether it may be an option for your family.
