Affordable Preschool in East Valley

Most just preschools require them to be potty trained. We moved to the east valley (Chandler) from the city of Maricopa so I have checked several out in my area and most are at lease $200/mos. My daughter is now 4 and we had to pull her out from Growing Places Preschool because we just could not afford it anymore. Now we did put her in a program through the city of Chandler that she just loves called Apples and Zebras. Your little one is too young for that but check out your city programs because they may offer something. We pay $144 and that was from March to mid-May and she just LOVES it! Another option is maybe a home child care if you just want her around other kids?? Most reg day care centers are pricey though! My daughter started preschool at 2 mainly for socialization but she had to be potty trained and she was so it wasn't an issue for us. her brother was hard to train...he is older and we actually had to wait till he was over 3 because of this. There are some that take 2's that aren't trained but none under 100 a month that I saw.....

Red Mt. United Methodist on Power, just North of McDowell, or Trinity Baptist preschool on University and Gilbert are both great, but I'm not exactly sure what they charge for tuition. I think it's fairly reasonable though.

Hi L., I do an in home preschool program. My 3 year old class is on Mon, and Fri, from 9 to 12 and is $90 per month. Most all of my students begin potty trained, but I have had a few that are almost there. I do a curriculum based program. I am off Higley and University. Let me know if I can be of service.

Check out King of Glory Preschool in Tempe. It is very reasonably priced and has great reviews on Mamasource. There is a 2 1/2 year old class on Monday mornings only ($53/month), but the kids need to be potty trained. The phone number is ###-###-#### or www.kogaz.org. Click on "preschool." Hope this helps!

When my little boy wasn't potty trained yet, the only place I could find that was reasonable was New Horizons Preschool. They are on Greenfield between Baseline and Guadalupe. I can't remember the exact cost, but I remember it was affordable and they were super nice there. ###-###-####

Hi, My boys have all gone to the First Presbyterian Preschool. They have great rates and offer scholorships when able. The teachers of the 2-3 year olds has been there for over 11 years and my boys just LOVE them. The preschool is at Mesa Drive and University next to the YMCA. They have a summer program for 3 days a week that only costs 35$. The tuition for next year should fit you budget.

I send my daughter to a in home preschool in Mesa (southern/32nd). It is a small class about 8 children. They do need to be potty trained. The day/times are tues and thurs. 8:30-12. And the monthly fee is $85. My daughter is in her second year here and we like it alot. The teachers name is Crystal Goodman phone ###-###-####. Class runs with the school year.
Good Luck,
