S/O Preschool...

What does it cost for you guys? I'm looking into getting Scarlett into school for the fall for a 2 or 3 day a week program. I've called two places so far, and one costs 2 1/2 times the other one. It's crazy.

I know it will vary depending on the area, but what do you guys pay for a half day, half week program?

DD2 is going to a two day, 9a-2p class. It's $195/month. I also looked into a different school that was $280 for three days, 9-2. I have to pack her lunch.

2 days a week, 9-2 about $300. We pay a bit extra for "nap grads" from 12-2. Worth it.

The montessori schools here cost $700/month for 5 mornings/week (you must attend every day) with extra if you drop off before 9 or pick up after 11:30. Other preschools in our area are about $250/month for two mornings from 9-11:30. I am really surprised b/c we live in a not very expensive area, but I guess the university here influences education prices.

$400/month for Montessori. She will go 5 days a week for 3hrs.

Last year, he was in a 2 year old program through the city's community center. Two days a week, 1.5 hours a day for $75/month.

This year, he's in a private preschool in the burbs. Two days a week, 3 hours a day for $145/month.

eaglesfan700 · July 2014

The 4s program was $250/month for 3 days a week, 9-11:30

ariel06 · July 2014

I think we're paying $180 for 3 days a week for 2.5 hours. It's pretty much mid range of what we pay in my area. I really would have liked to get DS2 in a really cool preschool program at a nature center, but it was almost double the cost.

Last year my boys went to a park district preschool- 2.5 class was $86 each- and that was out of district tuition (we live in a two block area that is not in a park district).It was 2 days a week for 2 hours and you packed a lunch. The 3s class is something like $115 a month.

This year my boys are going to the school district preschool. It is 3 days a week for 2.5 hours and $120 each.

2 half days a week is $120 per month where DD is going.

bumpuser8448316 · July 2014

3 year old was 2 days, 9:30-12:30 $291

4 year old is 4 days 8:30-11:30 $613

id012 · July 2014

For 2 days 9-1230 its like 1500 for September to the beginning of june. For 3 day its 3600 and thats from 9-230.

magentawarped · July 2014

Thanks guys...I just kind of wanted a general idea. The first one I called was a Montessori school and I almost dropped the phone when she told me $460 a month. The others have been more reasonable though.

mandymack · July 2014

Same area as @gastro - astronomical.

We can't afford it right now so, we are waiting another year to send Nolan so I can save up the entire year's tuition. And we are on two waitlists for local church programs that are about half the cost of traditional Preschools.

Mommy2CB · July 2014

$240 a month for 10 months.

He will go Sept-June two mornings a week.

When DS2 goes we will get a 20% discount off his tuition.

lexusolsen · July 2014

$400 a month for two full days a month. During the school year we pay $560 a month for five full days. We bring our own lunch but they provide morning and afternoon snack.

We looked at one Montessori that wanted $800 a month for full time. Not happening.

Court0026 · July 2014

$160/month at our local JCC for 3 days. Next year she goes fulltime to a catholic sschool and it is $400/month.
