how much do you pay for preschool/daycare?

Lorton, 2 y/o $280 week in center. Includes all food.

I'll have a newborn starting in Decmeber and she will be $312 a week, but I'll then get a 10% discount on the 2 y/o.

So altogether about $2444 a month.

NP here - people are typically posting here for amount per week, but are you all actually paying weekly? When we did our tours, we learned about the fees per month; it was never mentioned to go weekly.

Do people usually pay weekly? We pay monthly. As far as I know there is no weekly option at our center - unless you do some kind of emergency drop-off, but that is a daily rate.

You quoted my post ... that is why I was surprised, so far, I'd only been quoted monthly rates. I don't know how it works about paying weekly, and I'm surprised quite a few posters are noting the rate per month.

Put off preschool for a year b/c we prefer a more play-based multi age setting. All of the preschools close to here are SO aCademic and have very little outdoor time or free play.
