the Cost of Private Preschools

The school that my husband and I chose for our son to attend was clean and had flexible hours. They have a small bus route to help make things more convenient for working parents. All in all it seemed like it was the right choice and the right price for schools of this quality in our area.

Though the teachers were very courteous and seemed to really love their jobs, my son didn't learn anything that we didn't teach him at home. The teacher/student ratio was no better than a public preschool/kindergarden classroom. He came home constantly sick and spent half his time home getting better, and regardless of his time out we still had to pay full price. He also was having a few behavioral problems in the class because of the teachers lack of acknowledgment to poor dialogue amongst students. On a whole I didn't see anything throughout the school year that would prompt me to recomend this school to anyone.

From what I've experienced private preschool centers seem to be no better than your average public school. I would recommend that a child go to public school because they tend to be around a more balanced group of children and in my opinion will help a child stay well rounded.
