The funding for Main Street Child Development Center comes from tuition, foundations, corporations, governments, and individual contributions.
All Main Street families pay tuition; however, lower income parents pay tuition based on a sliding scale according to the subsidy fee system of the Fairfax County Office for Children and the City of Fairfax. Parents must be working or full-time students in order to qualify for assistance. Main Street is also supported by limited funding through the Virginia Preschool Initiative Program for rising Kindergarten children of need.
