MMAP · Pricing

Simple, per-student pricing.

One number per student, billed on the enrollment you set, with a 24-student minimum (one typical class). No module fees, no per-staff charges, no hidden line items — just a monthly rate you can plan a budget around.

Every tier includes everything below it. Add-ons are optional and available on any tier. SMS Broadcasts are built into Mapmaker and Atlas at no extra cost.

01

Per enrolled student

We take a snapshot of your enrollment across every program at the start of your agreement year. That number sets your monthly rate for the whole year — children who arrive mid-year never change your bill, and enrolling fewer doesn't either. We re-take the count each year at renewal. When you're unsure, round up: it's the toddler rooms that fill in as the year goes, and no child should wait on a seat. Staff logins are always free and unlimited.

02

Billed monthly, annual agreement

Invoiced monthly under an annual commitment. No locking funds up-front, no surprise quarterly bills.

03

Onboarding for the school tiers

Every North Star, Mapmaker, and Atlas subscription is configured in partnership with Hannah's team so the platform reflects your program. Surveyor is light-touch — no setup fee and no white-glove setup; a short onboarding gets your school configured, then guides are up and running.

The Tiers

Four tiers. One platform.

Start where your school is. Every tier builds on the one below it — you never lose access to lower-tier features.

For multi-campus networks

Running more than one campus?

Every campus runs on its own full MMAP tier — choose the right one for each site. On top of that, your organization gets a network layer built for leaders who run more than one school.

One login, every campus.

Switch between your schools without logging out.

A network dashboard.

Enrollment, staff, and billing rolled up across every campus — the whole organization at a glance.

Org admins.

Manage every site from one account, set up in a single step.

Consolidated billing.

One view across campuses, with multi-campus pricing that scales as you grow.

Mix tiers across sites, add or remove campuses as your network changes, and see it all in one place.

How enterprise pricing works

One rate across your organization.

Every campus is billed at the same per-student network rate, so adding a site never disturbs the terms you already have.

Billed per campus, on real enrollment.

Each campus is invoiced monthly on its own enrolled students, under a single annual agreement. No seat caps and no per-staff charges. Staff logins are always free and unlimited.

One implementation fee, not one per campus.

A single $2,500 implementation covers onboarding and orientation across your whole network — not $2,500 per site.

Quoted separately.

In-person professional development and any custom single sign-on or integration work are scoped on their own.

Because every network is a different size and shape, we build your rate with you rather than post one number. Tell us how many campuses you run and roughly how many children you serve, and we’ll put your enterprise rate in writing.

Tell us about your organization →We build network pricing with you.

On billing

Billing, including the hard parts.

Split-family invoicing for separated and divorced parents is built and live, alongside extended care fee rules and incidental charges.

If you are comparing MMAP against a billing-first tool, ask us to walk you through the billing engine. We’ll show you.

One-time setup

What your $2,500 implementation fee covers.

One time. One school. One Success Partner who knows your setup by name.

The implementation fee is the bridge between signing a contract and a school that actually runs MMAP day to day. It is admin-focused, scoped, and structured around the Success Partner role. Every North Star, Mapmaker, and Atlas school starts here.

What $2,500 buys

Three structured working sessions with your Success Partner

  • Configuration. We sit together and set up your environment in real time. Not a template emailed over, not a checklist you fill out alone.
  • Working follow-up. Once you have been using the platform for a couple of weeks, we sit with you inside it and adjust what is not landing yet.
  • Six-week check-in. Refinements, follow-up questions, and the work of making the system genuinely yours.

Full environment configuration, done with you

Roster, classrooms, roles, integrations, and the settings that match how your school actually runs. Your Success Partner does this with you, not for you, so the admin team knows how every switch works by the time we are done.

Direct admin training, the people who will run it day to day

We teach the admin team how to operate the platform and how to teach their own staff. That capacity stays in your school, even if your team changes.

Perpetual, self-service knowledge base

Written documentation, in-platform walkthroughs, and a searchable library your team can return to without scheduling another call. It grows as the platform grows.

Ongoing Success Partner relationship after onboarding

After the six-week check-in, your Success Partner stays available for the questions that come up as the year unfolds. A person who knows your school, not a ticketing queue.

Documented setup

A written record of what we configured, what decisions were made, and how each module fits your school. It is useful when staff turn over, and useful for your own board reporting.

What it does not include

All-staff or community-wide training.

Implementation prepares your admin team to operate MMAP and teach the rest of your school. If you want MMG-led professional development across your whole staff or family community, that work is scoped separately under Professional Development below.

See Professional Development →

Applies to

North Star, Mapmaker, and Atlas. The Surveyor tier is light-touch — no implementation fee and no white-glove setup; a short onboarding gets your school configured and then guides are up and running.

Payment Processing

Simple, transparent, yours.

MMAP takes 0%on tuition and fee payments. When a family pays, the money goes directly into your school’s own Stripe account — MMAP never holds or routes your funds, and you control every refund, dispute, and payout independently.

The only cost is Stripe’s standard processing rate — the same rate you’d pay using Stripe on your own.

Card

Credit or debit, standard checkout.

2.9% + $0.30

Bank transfer (ACH)

The better option for larger, recurring tuition payments.

0.8%, capped at $5

You decide who covers it

By default, your school absorbs the fee. If you’d rather have families cover the processing cost, flip a single toggle in your MMAP payment settings — the amount charged automatically adjusts so your school still receives every dollar of the invoice.

Professional Development

When you want MMG in the building, not just on the platform.

Implementation gets your admin team operating MMAP. Professional Development gets your whole community on the same page. Two formats, fixed pricing, plus travel at cost. We come to you.

Half-Day Teacher PD

$3,500

Flat fee, plus travel at cost

A focused 3.5-hour working session with your full teaching faculty on one topic you choose. Built for the rhythm of a Wednesday afternoon professional day or a Saturday morning training block.

Format

  • 3.5 hours, on-site, one continuous block
  • Up to 30 teachers and assistants
  • One topic, picked in advance with your admin team
  • Workshop format, not a lecture

Topics we cover

  • Observation as a working practice
  • Record-of-work that holds up to audit
  • Equity-aware grace and courtesy
  • Lesson planning that respects the prepared adult
  • Your own topic, scoped with your Success Partner
Request a Half-Day date →

50% deposit holds the date. Balance due the week of delivery. 6 weeks lead time.

Full-Day Community PD

$6,500

Flat fee, plus travel at cost

A 6 to 7 hour day designed for the whole community. The morning sits with your full teaching faculty. The afternoon rotates through your admin team, board, and parent community in shorter, role-specific blocks.

Morning, with your teachers

  • 3 to 3.5 hour workshop block
  • Same depth as the half-day, with more space
  • One core topic, plus a working session on application

Afternoon, with the rest of the community

  • Admin block, the operating cadence behind a Montessori school
  • Board block, governance that protects the work
  • Parent block, what Montessori actually asks of families
  • Blocks scoped with your head of school in advance
Request a Full-Day date →

50% deposit holds the date. Balance due the week of delivery. 8 weeks lead time.

Decision guide

Which format is right for your school.

Pick Implementation

$2,500 one-time

You signed for North Star, Mapmaker, or Atlas, and you need your admin team set up and trained to run the platform. This is included, scoped, and required.

Add Half-Day PD

$3,500 + travel

Your teaching faculty needs a focused working session on one topic, and the rest of the community is already aligned. A single afternoon, deep on one thing.

Add Full-Day Community PD

$6,500 + travel

Your whole school needs to come up together. Teachers in the morning, then admin, board, and parents in the afternoon. A community-wide reset day.

Most schools start with Implementation. PD is optional and can be added in year one, year two, or any time after. Some schools book a full-day community PD the summer before they launch on MMAP, so the platform lands inside a shared frame.

Procurement

Public and charter schools: we work the way your business office works.

District purchasing should not be the reason your school can't have good tools.

Purchase orders & invoices

We accept POs and invoice on your billing cycle. Check payments welcome.

W-9 & vendor setup

W-9 and vendor registration paperwork available on request — usually same day.

Quotes for budget cycles

Formal quotes sized to your enrollment, ready for spring budget season.

Sole-source documentation

Sole-source justification letters available when your district's process requires one.

Ask for any of these through the interest form or email directly.

FAQ

Questions we get about implementation and PD.

How do deposits and final payment work?

50% deposit holds the date. The remaining 50% is due the week of delivery. The implementation fee is invoiced in full at signing.

What is your cancellation and reschedule policy?

Deposits are non-refundable inside 30 days of the booked date. You get one free reschedule with at least 30 days notice. Outside of that window, the deposit applies to the new date.

How far in advance do we need to book?

6 weeks for a Half-Day Teacher PD. 8 weeks for a Full-Day Community PD. Less lead time means less prep with your head of school, so the day is shallower. We will tell you honestly if a date is too close to do well.

Do you offer virtual delivery?

Yes. Same prices, no travel cost. We will be honest, in-person is better for the full-day format because the afternoon community blocks lose a lot on a screen. Half-day works well virtually if the topic is right.

How does travel at cost work?

Flights, ground transit, and lodging are passed through at receipt. No markup, no per diem. You see the actual line items and we book against your travel policy where you have one.

We are not an MMAP school. Can we still bring you in?

The Half-Day and Full-Day PD on this page are designed around schools running MMAP, so the work lands on top of the platform. If you are looking for standalone workshops, keynotes, or board sessions that do not assume MMAP, that is a different catalog.

See workshops and speaking →

Request a PD date

Tell us what you need. We’ll send a scope.

Pick a format, name a date, and Hannah will reach out as soon as she is able to confirm scope, hold the date, and put a written estimate (including travel) in front of you.

50% deposit holds the date. Balance due the week of delivery. Travel billed at cost. Half-Day needs 6 weeks lead time, Full-Day needs 8 weeks.
