Families who register a second child will pay 50% of the full ​registration fee, registering a third child will pay 25% of the full registration and registering ​4 or more children will pay 0% of the full registration fee.

  • one child: $65 = $65 total
  • two children: $65 + $32.5 = $97.5 total

Bates Enrollment Fee:

What is the bates fee?

The cooperative preschool program is a parent/child participation program. Parents enroll in ​the Bates Technical College parent education program, and enroll their child(ren) in the ​cooperative preschool of their choice. While parents are enrolled in the Bates parent education ​program they earn college clock hours in a continuing education program. Child Studies ​instructors from Bates Technical College provide the cooperative preschools with teacher and ​leadership training, parent education seminars, technical assistance, information, and support. ​Parents enrolled in affiliated cooperative preschools have access to many parenting resources ​on the College campus.


Bates fees are charged quarterly, 3 times a year

October, January & March.


They are based on annual tuition rates and vary due to State funding changes.

  • red class = $38
  • yellow class = $57 ​
  • Blue class = $57 ​

This fee is for the parent’s enrollment, not the child’s, so there is no discount, or extra cost, for multiple children.
