When the
Barrett Daycare Center first opened, there was a regular
tuition charge of one dollar a week for each child. Mothers
who could not afford to pay full tuition were often able to
share the expense with her employer, while other children
were able to attend the daycare with scholarship funds
generated by the community.
Among the papers of
the daycare are surveys of the parent's incomes over
the years, along with records of the tuition paid for each child. In
addition, there are applications
for admission
into the Daycare.
