Preschool Class Size Reduced For COVID?

[Anonymous]

Just wondering how many preschools have reduced their class sizes due to COVID, and has this resulted in a tuition increase?

What was your previous class size and what is it now? Are they planning to continue with smaller classes next school year (2021-22)?

Just trying to get a handle on if what is going on at our school is the “norm” or not.

I think preschool class sizes have been mandated in MD.

My 4yo’s class used to be 15 kids and 2 teachers. Now I believe it’s 15 people total allowed in the room, so 13 kids and 2 teachers. I haven’t heard about that changing any time soon.

The tuition hasn’t changed.

It would result in an increase. Same bills and fewer people to pay them.

Yes, our school cut class sizes to 10 from 15. Tuition increased accordingly.

Reduced from 16 kids 2 teachers to 9 kids, 1 teacher. No change in tuition (church preschool).

Ours has 15 kids total, but no more than 10 kids +2 adults in the classroom at one time (a lot of kids are part time, including my own).

As required by the state of MD, dropped from 20 kids (3 teachers) to 13 kids (2 teachers.) No big tuition increase, but hours dropped (from 7-6 to 8:30-5) keeping the same price, and free lunch no longer included.

My DD’s preschool class (4 and 5 year olds) went from 18 to 7. Tuition stayed the same they just broke up classes and lowered the number of teachers per class. This is a daycare/ preschool in DC.
