The Open Bench Fund

$70 puts one kid at the bench for a month.

Some families here pay full price. Some pay nothing. Contributions cover the difference.

Where it goes

A child's four-week place, in full: $132
The gap left after a family pays what they can: $70
Materials for one child: $35

Every family picks what they pay when they enrol — four options, one of them zero. No forms, no proof of income, and nobody teaching the class knows which one a family chose. This fund is what makes the zero possible.
