Financial Aid

At BrightNest Academy Delray, we believe that every child deserves access to high-quality early education, regardless of a family’s financial situation. To help ease the financial burden, we’ve partnered with the Early Learning Coalition of Palm Beach County to offer several financial aid programs, making preschool more affordable for families in our community.

Here’s a breakdown of the programs in which we participate that ease the financial burden on our families:
