Cost Information

NCCA membership status is free to verify. Tuition at private childcare centers varies widely by region, typically ranging from $800 to $2,000+ per month depending on location and age of child.

Parent Tip

NCCA member centers are privately owned businesses that have chosen to affiliate with a national professional organization. This suggests the operator is invested in professional standards, though membership alone is not the same as accreditation.
