Private schools with preschool

Preschool can be a relatively inexpensive way to 'test out' your private school options. Many parents do not consider this but in some cases, they can actually get their child into a private school at the same cost the would incur if they were to pay for daycare.

Preschool programs offered by private schools are focused on learning as opposed to regular daycare. Preschools give children a head start on education, allowing them to sample school at an early age. Many private schools offer preschool programs with today's parent in mind, knowing that many men and women want to get back to their careers once their parental leave has run out. Private preschool offers your child the opportunity to interact with other children who are also learning and developing independence.

In addition, many preschool programs are funded by the government. In fact, some 'private preschools' can be essentially free or very low cost, if their programs meet the right funding criteria. Some private school tuition can possibly be exempted from income tax under childcare costs. Ask your accountant for more details, of course.

We invite you to investigate each school listed below in order to find out what funding or financing they might have available to them.

Should you really preschool your child?
It's quite understandable when parents are leery of preschool. Perhaps you simply want to keep your child(ren) at home. Of course, there are many benefits to keeping preschool-aged children as close as possible to their parents. On the other hand, though, preschool at a private school offers your child a wealth of educational benefits that will carry forward much later in life. The decision to preschool or not is up to you, but if you do decide to do so, you can be quite certain that private school will offer distinct advantages over other preschool programs.
