When my oldest was in preschool 2 years ago, it was about $90/week. Well now I am enrolling my youngest and it is $190/week. SAME school! Wth man, that's only a few hundred short of our mortgage!!! Tell me this is not the going rate....
The catholic preschool is $9k a year.
When my daughter was in preschool it started at $120 a month and then went up each year she was there. Her last year in preschool the public schools started offering a preschool class that was free but i did not sign her up for that.
It's free for every four year old in the state. Sorry, I'm not much help.
I think it was about $900 a year (7 years ago) for my oldest and about $1,200 for my younger two (4 and 3 years ago). I had my middle daughter enrolled where my oldest went and found out they changed it from just being pre-K to being pre-K daycare. Meaning if you weren't there all day, every day like some kids, you missed some of what was taught. Plus, it was more disruptive as kids were coming and going all day at all kinds of times! And it was going to be $800/MONTH. Yeah... no. I'm a SAHM and def don't need to be paying $800/month for daycare.
So, I ended up finding another pre-K that was JUST 3 mornings a week pre-K- everyone had the same hours and learned the same thing.
