What happened

For 2026-27, full-day preschool costs $900 a month and part-day $700. Before-school care is $300 per family per year. After-school care is a sliding scale up to $300 per family per year, and intersession care is $25 a day. After-school and intersession care are free for low-income, homeless and foster youth.

Why it matters to families

Families who use child care at the school need to plan for these costs.
