What does it cost to join Little PEPperS?

Effective September 1, 2008 the program fee is $100* for a participating household. Partial or full scholarships are available for qualifying families.

What does my Little PEPperS fee pay for?

PEPS is a non-profit organization. The fee covers part of the cost of the program, with the balance being underwritten through the generosity of foundation, corporations, and individuals who believe in what we do. Site rental, registration processing, special facilitators and training -- it all adds up so we charge a small fee to make sure we can continue to offer top-notch programs for years to come.

Is Little PEPperS limited to certain types of families?

PEPS is open to all families! Little PEPperS is a site-based program designed to serve a specific geographic area. Beyond geography, there are no limitations to who can participate.
