AMARILLO, Texas (KAMR/KCIT) – Amarillo ISD is launching the Little Learners Academy Program, a program that will serve AISD employees. The program will serve children ages six weeks to three years old.
Brittany Hinz, AISD director of early childhood education, said the first year will be a tuition-funded program.
“That tuition is $800 a month for infants and $700 for toddlers a month for toddlers. Just to know there was a lot of debate, research, cost, looking at staffing, looking at start up that helped US come up with those numbers to make sure we’re balancing this being a true benefit for our employees while also being able to fund the program,” said Hinz.
