Tuition Question...

Currently looking into preschool and have a few questions. I know it varies but how much are you paying each month? Is your child full day or half day?How many days a week does he/she go? TIA!!

Re: Tuition Question...
$105 - half days, 3 days a week.
Of course, this is church affiliated, and in a very rural area, so we pay much less than some of the preschools in our area
DD #2 is in a center preschool program 5 days a week, full days. All food provided - cost $220 a week and that is with a %10 corp discount.
DD#1 is in a PreK program through the elementary school, 5 days a week full days and includes the summer minus the last 2 weeks before the next school year and 3 days in June. Open most major holidays just like daycare center. All food is provided except school release days, food provided all summer. Includes field trip expenses as well - we pay $904 a month. (if a 4 week month, it would be $226 a week)

We just paid $360 for the fall semester. It is 2- 5 hour days a week, following the school calander. It equals $15 a day.
I am shocked on how much it cost for some of these places.
yep... and I pack a lunch. parents rotate snacks. fun fun. but for the region, it's not bad. if they went to daycare, holy moly it would be more.
Preschool 2 mornings a week, 3 hours each day = $237/month. Which is very average for our area.
Last year DD went 2 mornings a week at a daycare/preschool, option of 6 hours (she went for 3) and we paid $401/month.

Future faith based preschool of choice: They charge $400 for half day/5 days per week and $500 for full day/5 days per week.
I see all of the other posts have such high prices, geesh!
Two days a week, three hours each day=$297 a month for two.
ETA: I wrote the check last night and I was wrong. It's $387 per month for two. I was waaay off!
My twins are 5! My baby is 3!
DS#2 - Allergic to Cashew, Pistachio, Kiwi
DS#3 - Allergic to Milk, Egg, Peanut, Tree Nuts and Sesame
I would pay for that. That is a neat idea. I do not believe we have anything of that nature here.
tuition is 835 a month, 8-3 every day. we pick her up at 11:30 but, still pay the full amount. i'm thinking about leaving her full time after the holiday.
ETA-lunch has to be purchased for the whole year or you have to take every day. that would be an additional 6000.00. Emerson is so picky so we elected to take. honestly, with the twins, i can't afford that additional money that i know she would never consume.
DD#1 goes to Pre-K. She's 5 half days (2.5 hours each day) with Thursday and Friday getting out later (exteded day) - $750/month and I have to pack lunch for her on Thursday and Friday
DD#2 goes to preschool 3 days per week (2.5 hours each day) and is $410/month
Reading everyone else's responses, I want to go to all those schools! They are less expensive than what we are paying.
T/Th 9-2 We pay $145 a month
I couldn't justify paying any more than this!
These polls are never all that accurate or helpful. we live in a big city with an extremely HCOL. a small apt here costs what a large house in MS would cost. literally. someone tried to sell us a 2 bedroom apt for $280K not incuding the monthly fees.... my bff bought a 3000 sq ft ready to move in on an acre that is well manicured in MS for less than that. but my pay is greater here (it would have to be). so it's all relative. would I pay nearly $600/mo each child for just 3 days a week 9-2:30 there? nope. friends pay less than that for full time daycare down there. different places. cannot really compare the cost of preschool.

and I'm TX, medium sized city. It's one of the most expensive schools in the city.
Really late on this, but thought I'd chime in...
Q goes 3 days a week 9-1:30 and we pay $227.50/month. That does not include food. We are in a suburb of Tampa, so medium sized area. It is at a church and one of the cheapest ones around, but also one of the best.
