preschool tuition....how much?

if you don't mind, would you share how much you pay for preschool and how many hours is it for?  My son is still young, but I heard its insanely expensive in NJ. I would also love to find a mother's day out program for him to go to for now but I wonder if I can afford it since I'm a sahm.

Re: preschool tuition....how much?

  • We pay 400 a month for 830-230
  • I have to look at my Amex bill but I think I pay $270/month for 3 days a week from 930am-130pm.

    No! This is for the full year. They don't give us the monthly breakdown and I didn't do the math. In fact, you can pay out in six monthly instalments but you party considerably more to do so. We have to pay this full amount by August 31 to get these "discounted" prices.

  • Stephanie goes to a Full Time Pre-K (Mon-Fri, 8am-6pm) that is part of a daycare facility (Evan is in the toddler class).  For her it's $775 a month (that is after the 10% discount we get for 2 kids). This is Middlesex County. Price by the areas tend to be very different hence the reason I listed the location.
