Financial Support

When a family participates in Connolly Ranch Education Center's early childhood or school-age programs, they become part of a community that is rooted in environmental stewardship and social responsibility. We believe it is important to make our quality education programs accessible for anyone who wants to participate. Economic diversity is crucial to fostering a healthy environment and enhances the students' learning experience. Our financial support allows us to include families from a wide range of economic circumstances.

Connolly Ranch Education Center supports families in the following ways:

  • Monthly payment plans - Playschool, Outdoor Afterschool, & Homeschool

  • Sliding scale tickets - Weekend Farm Open House & Seasonal Events

  • Co-Op Enrollment - Playschool

A very limited amount of funds are set aside each year for Playschool and Summer Camp financial assistance.

In order to equitably allocate the funds, we use the three qualifying factors (listed in weighted order): household income, number of children, and circumstances. Many families who apply have an average household income of $49,999 or less and have multiple children.
