Giving at TCPS

Your gift will enable program expansion and help build a sustainable future for our nonprofit school.

Our 2023-2024 Annual Giving Campaign is in motion!

Our first Kindergarten class started in September 1983 which means
TCPS officially celebrated its 40th anniversary in September 2023!

Help us celebrate over 40 years of learning today by making
a donation to our Annual Giving Campaign!

Consider joining the TCPS Enrichment Society! You are a member if you decide to spread your giving to TCPS throughout the year by making regular monthly donations. This can be a more manageable way for families to support TCPS in smaller Tiger bites adding up to a larger amount. You can choose the amount and the date of giving and you can change or cancel at any time. Click the Monthly Donations button below to start monthly donations to show your support for TCPS!

There Are Many Ways To Give

At The Child’s Primary School (TCPS), we strive to keep tuition as low as possible to make our program available to as many families as possible. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of providing our students with the unique educational experience that we offer. Our fundraising allows us to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a TCPS education for each student. Here are some ways you can support TCPS:

Monthly or Annual Giving have a significant impact in keeping our class sizes small and providing each student with a successful social and academic environment that has proven effective for 40 years.

Gifts of Securities

In most cases, an outright gift of appreciated securities entitles the donor to an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the securities and, in the case of securities which have been held for more than a year, the avoidance of the capital gains tax.
