| What do you mean by lesser expensive? What cost are you looking to pay? |

| The YMCA has a pre-school ar Arylawn thar seems to be reasonably priced and still has openings for fall. I looked at it last week. We are not going to apply b/c the student to teacher ratio was a bit high for us plus I prefer a coop, but the facilities are nice and there is parent envolvement and the kids all looked happy. |

| Bradley Hills Nursery School in Bethesda is affordable and has an excellent reputation. I think Coops are the only way to get the cost down much below theirs. |

| We are starting at the Montgomery Child Care Association Park Street Center in Rockville soon. It is full day. It seems like a cross between preschool and a full day daycare center. Around $1000 a month. Parent reviews were good. |

| There are a couple of parent cooperative nurseries right in Rockville. They are both half day, with a lunch extension option. But a parent (or nanny/grandparent) must be available to co-op (work in the classroom as an assistant) about 1-2 times a month. They are MUCH cheaper than a typical preschool, but a wonderful, nurturing environment. |

| Westmoreland Children's Center! My son goes for 3 mornings a week for $450. Small classes, great teachers. |

If you don't mind the "religious twist" (although thy told me they weren't heavy on it) try the New Day Methodist preschool: http://www.newdaypreschool.org/
Very very cheap at 230 for three mornings if I remember correctly. They have a good reputation and are very close to the Rockville library. |

| Kensington Cooperative Nursery School is very inexpensive. But it's only part-time and you have to co-op and help out. Tuition is under $100/month for 2 mornings/week for a 2 yo. |

| Try looking for a co-op if you stay home or have flexibility in your job schedule. My kids go to the Garrett Park Co-op and we have had a great experience there. |

| My kids go to the Garrett Park Co -op. For 3 year olds, 3 mornings a week I think it is around 185 per month. You also have to help out in the classroom once or twice a month and hold a "job" in the school i.e. supplies purchaser, room parent etc. The school is located right near Grosvenor Metro and White Flint mall so is not too far down the pike from Rockville. |
