Enrollment & Tuition
Application Information
The CDL accepts enrollment applications throughout the year. Applications are reviewed by the date received. Submitting an application does not guarantee placement in the CDL. A member of the CDL Team will reach out to you to discuss your child's enrollment prior to the semester they are eligible to begin in the program. The contract is for a full academic year. Spring admissions will be contingent on space available in the program. Anyone many apply. Applications can be submitted anytime after the birth of a child. The CDL observes the Americans with Disabilities Act and welcomes children with special needs.
Are you interested in enrolling your child in our program? Please fill out and submit your application to us.
Additional forms will need to be submitted to the Child Development Lab before your child's first day of school, including physician's clearance and up-to-date immunizations. A paperwork packet will be available in the summer months preceding school beginning with sufficient time to complete all required items. Head Teachers and the Program Leader are available to support you in this process.
Tuition Information
Morning program tuition: $1,200 per semester
Afternoon program tuition: $960 per semester
Full day program tuition: $2,295 per semester
Tuition is due by April 30 in the Spring, and November 30 in the Fall.
A non-refundable registration fee of $70 holds your space in the program. This must be paid directly to the Cashier's Office and accompanied by a form provided by the CDL. Of the $70, $40 will be applied to your tuition fees.
Additionally, a Sliding Scale Tuition Program is made possible by a trust fund in memory of Dr. Emilla Tschanz, the faculty member who was the primary force in the creation of the Child Development Laboratory (CDL). The purpose of the sliding scale tuition program is to enable families to attend who would not be able to do so without financial assistance. Please access the Sliding Scale application and apply if your family is eligible. Applications are due by August 1 annually.
If you require a paper version of either application, please email cdl@humboldt.edu
