Provided I can find a full time job, he'll be in full time. Is that a fair price? It's called "young preschool." Also, will they help with PTing? He's not PT'ed yet. I'm not sure how that works. TIA

Very fair price. Ask about PTing. Some do, some don't.

Yes. I pay $210/wk for preschool full time.

That's cheap.

that's really fair, that's cheap in fact!

When my son was in school it was $105 for a non-PT'd 2 year old, full-time. And yes, they helped with PTing (at least mine did). He actually did better at school than home.

Hell yeah that's fair. For both my kids it runs well over 2k a month but I have state aid that cuts it down to $750. Its ridiculous how expensive it is.

Quoting The Doctor:" Very fair price. Ask about PTing. Some do, some don't."

That's what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure.

My son is 4 and $227 a week...so that seems pretty good to me!

Well, since I will only be paying $56 a week for 2 kids, to ME that's expensive, but from other posts and other price comparisons, yes that seems fair. The only way to know about PT is to ask them.

Here's another question. They do a nap time after lunch for what looks like two hours. My child cannot take a nap. Do you have activities for kids that don't nap? Or will he be in trouble every day for not napping?

Yeah, I pay way more than that. haha

At DD's preschool, they have a room for the nappers and a room for the kids that don't nap.

They have rest time. You do not have to sleep. My son never naps, but at school he does because he plays ALL day. Your son will probably nap. But if not, it is quiet rest time.

The only way to know that is to ask them. One would assume they have activities for children who do not take naps. I know the daycare I have has a separate nap area that gets gated off from other kids so they can't get woken up by children running in and out
