Preschool? Pre-K? Hmm, pre-school (3 and under) was at our daycare and we paid $240/week which was a full day program. Pre-K (4) we opted into a private pay public program. We pay $580/month for 8-3:00 instruction. We pay an additional $160/month for afterschool program that goes to 6:00. Since it's in the public school it follows their schedule (2 weeks off at Christmas, Spring Break, etc).

Our son will be starting a 2's program at a local church preschool in September. Full days (700am to 530pm) is $750, half days (8am-1230pm) is $530. There's also extended day (until 230pm) and flexible day options (3 or 4 days a week) for less money. You bring your own lunch, they provide AM/PM snack.

We're hoping to get him into a different school for preschool and pre-K, but he has be fully potty trained by 3 in order to go. Their program is 5 days a week, 7am - 6pm, with all meals and snacks provided for $655 a month, although they have 2-3 day or half-day options for less.

Ours would be $1300 a month. Some of these prices are amazing!

3 year old kinder is going to cost us $280 per term for 2 x 3 hour sessions per week ($1120 per year).

Last year we did a church based preschool program and it was 9-12 two days per week @ $180/mo. This year we are at a private preschool from 8:30-1pm T/Th and it's $310/mo. We are north of Boston.
