Enrollment
At Pike Market Child Care & Preschool, our mission is to make high-quality early learning accessible to all families, regardless of income.
Now Enrolling for the Fall 2026 school year!
High-Quality Early Learning,
Accessible for All
High-quality child care means smaller class sizes, lower student-to-teacher ratios, and teachers who are supported with equitable wages, full benefits, and professional development. These are the hallmarks of our program, and they’re reflected in the Full Cost of Care.
Because we are committed to equity, the gap between the Full Cost of Care and what families can afford is bridged by donations, grants, and fundraising. This ensures that enrollment at PMCCP remains accessible to families across income levels.
“...administrators helped me navigate subsidy programs and teaching staff were very attentive and accommodating to health and diet requests pertaining to my child…”
