A. One-Time Only Initial Cost of Leader Training and Materials
 

I. Initial training costs for 2-3 days depending on program delivered

  • Seattle Training: $400 for 3-day and $300 for 2-day training $400 x # of group leaders plus travel costs (transportation, lodging, meals, etc.).
    Suggestion: budget $1100-$1500 per leader to be trained in Seattle
    Or,
  • On-Site Training: $1500-$2000 per day for trainer x 3-4 days (this will be cost effective if you have more than 10-15 leaders, but please inquire about trainer availability) plus travel and hotel expenses, workshop handouts and books, etc.

II. Program Materials

  • See web site and brochure for particular program prices
  • Agency or school may purchase one set of tapes to be shared by multiple group leaders (approximately $1000-$1300 per series)
  • Leader manuals (leaders will want their own manuals) Cost $150 x # of leaders plus shipping charge.
    Suggestion: budget $1500 per program

B. Ongoing Consultation

  • Hourly rate $150 per hour (suggested 2 hours a month)
  • Daily consultation rate for on site group $1500 (1-day per year), plus expenses
  • Videotape review and certification ($450 per leader) x # leaders
  • Other videotape reviews –hourly fee $75
    Suggestion: budget $500-750 per leader, for one year or for first 2 to 3 groups (or ask leaders to pay their own certification fee)

Note: amount of time to prepare for group sessions will be longer for the leaders' first groups, approximately 4-6 hours is needed for preparation and delivery. By the time the program has been delivered for the third time this preparation time will be minimized considerably and costs will be reduced.

C. Ongoing Costs for Parent Groups (based on one group of 12 parents)

  • Day care for children (3 hours per night per provider x 12 sessions); number of providers will depend on number of children in day care. For 3 providers at $12 per hour. Approx $1400
  • Food for dinners for groups ($80 per group x 12 sessions). Approx $1000
  • Group leaders' time for one group - 5 hours per week x 12 sessions x 2 leaders at $25 per hour. Approx $3000
  • Parent Books $19.95 per parent x 12 =$240
  • Magnets (optional) for parents $1 per parent x 12 = $12
  • Parent Handouts $10.00 per parent x 12 = $120
  • Room for parent group (may be provided at no charge by agency or school)
  • Optional: prizes for parents, e.g. children’s books, bubble bath, candles, etc.

Total Ongoing Costs for Parent Group $5712 or $476 per parent. The hourly rate of group leaders may be higher contributing to higher costs.

D. Ongoing Costs for Small Group Child Treatment Groups (18 – 22 sessions: average 20, based on 6 children per group)

  • Snacks for groups ($20 per group x 20 sessions). Approx $400
  • Group leaders time for one group - 4 hours per week x 20 sessions x 2 leaders at $25 per hour = Approx $4000
  • Parent Books $19.95 per parent x 6 parents =$119.70 (if the parents aren’t already in parent group)
  • Child handouts or workbooks $10.00 per child x 6 = $60
  • Materials for activities $100
  • Room for child group (may be provided at no charge by agency or school)
  • Optional: prizes and additional stickers for children, e.g. books, buttons, etc.

Total Ongoing Costs for Child Treatment Group $4650 or $775 per child

E. Ongoing Costs for Child Dinosaur Curriculum in Schools (based on 24 children per class)

  • Teachers’ time for delivering program - 2 hours per week x 60 lessons at $25 per hour = Approx $3000
  • Child handouts or workbooks $10.00 per child x 24 children = $240
  • Materials for activities $5 per child = $120
  • Optional: prizes and additional stickers for children, e.g. books, buttons, etc.

Total Ongoing Costs for Child Classroom Program $135 per child (since teacher is already teaching this hourly fee may be deducted reducing the ongoing costs of this curriculum to $15 per child)

F. Ongoing Costs for Teacher Training Classroom Management Curriculum (based on 15 teachers per workshop and classrooms with 24 children)

  • Teachers' time in training - 4 workshop days at $120 per day for substitute teacher x 4 x 15 teachers = $7200
