Our Fees & Tuition Monthly tuition and fees fund the programs at the Auraria Early Learning Center. Students attending Metropolitan State College of Denver may qualify for a subsidy for their child-care tuition through a grant from the MSCD Student Affairs Board. You can inquire about this program at the Center. First priority is given to students and secondly to the faculty and staff from Auraria campus community. Children from outside the Auraria community are accepted on a space available basis only. We are happy to meet with you to discuss your child and your child care needs. If you are interested in enrolling your child, please call the Center at 303-556-3188 to arrange for a tour. Printable Open Enrollment Information
