Tuition Rates
The Volpe Center pays all facilities-related costs for TSC Child Care. This makes it possible to apply 87% of tuition received to salaries for top-quality staff.
In a 1998 survey of 18 child care centers in the Greater Boston area, tuition rates at TSC Child Care compared favor-ably to rates at centers of comparable size (based on number of children).

"By having smaller groups there is an opportunity for more one-on-one time with the caregiver. As a result, the quality of care increases causing fewer problems in terms of avoidable accidents. A more relaxed child is a child who can learn and a more relaxed child is a happier child."
- Carmen Hernandez, TSC Child Care Preschool II Teacher
"I love my teachers."
- Kaitlin Plecinoga, TSC Child Care Preschooler
