[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back when my kids were in a "top area preschool" (think St. Johns, NCRC, Little Folks School, etc.), we gave $1500 per/year.  Back then, this was reportedly the gap amount.  Others gave much more and others gave less but I think most families gave the gap amount.  [/quote]

And please tell us all how being at this “top area preschool,” which you cleverly refuse to name but we’re all supposed to infer, has benefited your child, as compared to any neighbor child who did not matriculate at a “top” preschool?[/quote]

I am the poster you quoted.  It did not matter at all.  We all loved the school experience and we made great friends but that could have happened at almost any preschool.  I was not suggesting that the school was superior in any way.  The original question asked what common giving amounts were at "top area preschools" and I answered the question -  the preschool my kids attended is widely known in the area as one of the most difficult to get into for any number of reasons including simple supply and demand.  We picked it because it seemed very sweet/loving, conveniently located to where we live and work, and we could afford it.  It was very common in this relatively small school to give $1500/year on top of the regular tuition.     [/quote]

OP here. Was your child full day / every day? My DC goes very few days/hours per week, and I am wondering if that makes a difference. The tuition is only $3k (will go up next year when DC's time at school increases) so I feel like maybe $1k so too much? (1/3 of tuition)? If I'm wrong, we're fine with contributing $1k. I think in our situation $1.5k would definitely be too much. [/quote]

Give what you want to give. I gave $100/year and the preschool director used to hug me afterward and tell me how wonderful I was. [/quote]
