General FAQs

While we strive to group by developmental abilities, we do hinge on age-specific ratios to guide us. We may modify our group size to best serve the children in that group. 

We believe keeping ratios lower than Licensing Standards for certain groups is best practice.  

Our ratios are as follows:

Toddlers 18 mos - 3 yrs 11 mos - 2:12

Pre-K 4 yrs plus - 1:6-10

We are open 8am - 6pm and we welcome you to drop-off at whatever time works best for your schedule, but we ask that you refrain from dropping off any later than 10am. 

Pick-up must be before 6pm.

While we do somewhat mirror the schedules of our local school districts, Homegrown is open year-round. We close for major holidays and have three week-long seasonal breaks to give our team some family time.

Homegrown proudly provides a hot lunch prepared on site as well as a morning and afternoon snack. We serve fresh produce daily, never serve juice and can accommodate most dietary restrictions.

As of Fall 2025, we are no longer enrolling children under 18 months of age.

Upon enrolling, we charge a one-time application and enrollment fee as part of the enrollment process to secure a space. These fees are non-refundable and are not applied to tuition. 

We do not charge an annual supply fee like many other operations- our enrollment fees help us replenish supplies to welcome new children aboard.
