Tuition for the 2026–2027 school year at ABCDino Academy in Bozeman, Montana. Monthly tuition covers school days from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. Families already enrolled keep their current rates for the remainder of the school year.
Monthly Tuition
| Program | 2 days/week | 3 days/week | 4 days/week | 5 days/week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infant & Waddler (6 weeks–2 years) | $1,050 | $1,365 | $1,575 | $1,680 |
| Toddler (2 years until potty trained) | $998 | $1,260 | $1,470 | $1,575 |
| Preschool (potty trained through 6 years) | $945 | $1,103 | $1,208 | $1,313 |
Children move from the Toddler rate to the Preschool rate once they are potty trained, so the change follows your child’s own development rather than a birthday.

- For less than full time: $40 per day, per month
Need care beyond 5:30 pm? Flexible Dino Drop-In care is available until 8:00 pm.
