		<description>in alabama it is 110 for 3 days a week 9-noon. snack included. For me it is well worth every penny. My goal: get my children to love school...that best prepares them for kindergarten. Plus, they get to experience sitting at tables, following directions, waiting in lines, listening to teachers and all of that doesn&#039;t even include the pure educational experience, arts and crafts and social experience. Believe me when they come home and say they fingerpainted the letter &quot;A&quot; today and it sounds like this...you will think to yourself, &quot;would i have really did that this morning?&quot;  i am sure your answer is probably no especially when you have more than one child.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;mother of three children that were under 3 years old.</description>

		<description>Our daycare is a daycare/ preschool (separate building for each).  For a preschooler 2 days a week, I want to say it&#039;s right around $120/ month.  It has the title of daycare for the younger kids but even those receive a great education.  They are far from just being a babysitter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Central Texas</description>

		<description>There are many programs available and hopefully you have multiple to choose from.  :-)  I&#039;m finding that with the new full day Kindergarten that many preschools are starting to change to all day or more days than just 2...to better help with the transition to full day Kindergarten.  But I&#039;m sure there will still be some that are 2-3 hours/2-3 days a week.  It&#039;s going to vary from area to area.  In our rural area community...it runs about 2.75/hr.  Usually we pay by month...when my son went it was between 60-65/month for his 2 day a week program.  My personal program runs 4 mornings a week at $11/day and I guess it does equal aout to 2.75/hr.   Just call around...most will give you the information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>I will be enrolling Tyler into a special pre-school called a DART pre-school (it&#039;s a &quot;hands on&quot; preschool for children with disabilities) and it&#039;s $35 a week for 4 days. ($30 for 3 and $25 for 2). So that&#039;s what? About $100-$130 a month?&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;3 Mama of 4 year old Tyler &amp; 14 month old Riley &lt;3</description>
