  • cost of kindergarten

    Does your district charge for full day kindergarten? I just got the letter, half day is free and full day costs $3,500. I didn't realize this was a thing. Do you guys have this?

    Nope, kindy (full-day, as well as half-day although that's no longer an option) is free here. I've never heard of paying for kindergarten!

      We used to have to pay for full day. Around $1500 with a state grant. Now IN voted for full day kindy so half-day wasn't an option and full- day is free.

        We don't have a full day public option. Private ones start at $800/month.

          Our public K is full-day and free. We have a few public schools with a free full-day Pre-K. It is currently free, but there is talk of adding a fee that would go to expanding needs-based Pre-K options.

              Our state does not fund full-day kindergarten. The district we currently live in (which we'll move out of before my son starts school) uses Title I and other supplemental funds to provide free full-day. Most districts here charge tuition for full-day. Denver is sliding scale with the resident max being $310/month.

              We heard a bill about this in my committee last month.

                Our full-day kindergarten was free in both WA and AZ. Actually, they eliminated half-day kindergarten in our districts.

                  Full day only (As far as I know) and it's free.

                    Both in our district in Columbus suburbs, as well as here, full day K about $3500. Ohio has slashed so much funding to schools, I only see it getting more expensive.

                      I've heard of both full-day being on lottery, and full-day costing tuition. Here, it's been half-day only for several years, but funding is finally coming through and it will go to full-day only starting either this fall or 2016, I'm not sure which.

                        There is no half-day public here. Full day is free. So is preK (full day, too), if you get selected for the lottery.

                          Never heard of it. In fact, a lot of the districts here have gone to full day, I believe to get more funding from the state

                              This year full day is around $400/month, half day is free. Next year the state is moving to free full day. In our district they said that they may offer limited half day at some schools if there is interest but they will not have it at our school.
