Shepherdstown Day Care works hard to keep tuition as low as possible, while balancing the needs of the Center. We are the only day care center in Jefferson County with a sliding scale fee based on family income. We supplement our tuition income with grants from the United Way, government agencies, corporate and private foundations, and fundraising activities. Board members are committed to developing both our curriculum and our community support, so we can provide more enriched experiences for children, while keeping tuition affordable.
