The Blackboard Awards | 2009 Manhattan Independent Nursery and Preschool Tuition Directory

2009 TUITION DIRECTORY OF INDEPENDENT NURSERY AND PRESCHOOLS IN MANHATTAN Compiled by Christine Werthman
A Note on Reading This Chart Tuition figures, which are provided directly by the preschool programs by phone, e-mail or on their websites, represent the highest and lowest fees charged for their services and reflect various ages and amounts of care. Programs may range from two half-days a week to five full days a week, and programs may charge by the week, by the month or by a school or calendar year of nine, 10 or 12 months. When schools provided weekly or monthly figures, we calculated the rate for a 10-month period, which was the most common amount of care. For specific tuition amounts, check with each school. If money is keeping you from applying to a certain school, don’t let it. Many of the schools listed want a more diverse group of students and are willing to help make that happen. Sliding scales also exist, and some schools say they will not turn away a child because of a parent’s lack of financial resources. Also, please note that some schools listed here give preference to, or only accept, parents affiliated with the providing organization.
