Billing Preferences

If you have worked with me before in a previous setting, please note that the prices are not the same. I am doing my best to make sure this is accessible and affordable for families. We are privately owned, operated, and self-sustaining and do not receive government assistance or funding. We are proud to be free from governmental influence, pressure, and mandates. This means that we do not receive grants that traditional 501-c3 educational groups receive. Please view our websites for more details on why we choose not to operate as a non-profit under the "financial assistance" page. If you are in need of financial assistance please submit the form on the website.
