What to know

Good questions make the difference.

Use these questions to compare programs without rankings or assumptions about fit.

How is a school-district program different from a private preschool?

School-district early-childhood programs may have residency, screening, age or other eligibility criteria. Independent and child-care programs set their own admission and tuition policies. Always confirm the specific program and enrollment pathway.

What should I ask about the daily schedule?

Confirm classroom hours, days per week, school-year dates, summer availability, before- and after-care, holiday closures and whether full-day care applies to your child’s age group.

Why can’t I compare every tuition price directly?

Published rates may be annual, monthly, weekly, half-day, full-day or class-specific, and may exclude registration, meal, extended-care or activity fees. We show the period and basis the provider published.

What does preschool cost on the North Shore?

Costs vary widely by program, schedule and eligibility, and providers publish rates in different ways, so this guide does not calculate an average. These are examples of 2026–27 rates published by programs in this guide and checked on the providers’ websites in October 2026:

  • Annual, part-day nursery schools: Northfield Community Nursery School lists $3,605 for a 2-day younger 2s class and $7,575 for a 5-day 3s class (8:45–11:15am). Willow Wood Preschool lists $8,100 for 5-day junior kindergarten mornings.
  • Annual, half day versus a full school day: Ronald Knox Montessori School lists $15,400 for a 5-day Early Childhood half day and $18,545 for a 5-day full day. Chiaravalle Montessori lists $16,267 for mornings and $24,298 for its core day.
  • Monthly: Barbereux School lists $890 a month for 3 half days and $1,670 a month for 5 full days (10 payments). Glencoe Park District’s Children’s Circle lists $2,127 a month for its 3s room for residents ($2,451 for nonresidents), June 2026–May 2027.
  • Weekly: Wesley Child Care Center lists $199 a week for 2 half days and $499 a week for 5 full days for ages 3–5.
  • Rates that depend on eligibility: Park districts publish resident and nonresident rates. St. Norbert School lists $4,400 (parishioner) and $5,700 (non-parishioner) for 3 half days. School-district programs may have residency or screening requirements, and Head Start and Preschool for All places are eligibility-based.

To compare programs, put rates on the same basis (annual, monthly or weekly), count the days and hours per week, and ask about registration, materials, lunch and extended-care fees. These examples are not typical or complete: most programs price by class, and some do not publish rates. Each listing shows the rates and sources we found.

How do the age and schedule filters work?

A listing appears as a match only when one published class fits every filter you chose, for example a full-day class for 3-year-olds. If the research does not show which classes run on which schedule, the program appears under “Possible matches” instead of being treated as a match or hidden.

What if the directory doesn’t show ages or a price?

That detail has not been established in our research. Use the program’s website or phone number to confirm current information; a missing detail is not evidence that a program does not offer the option.

Should I check licensing and accreditation?

Yes, where applicable. Verify current state licensing or exemption status with the appropriate Illinois agency, and ask providers to substantiate accreditation claims. This directory has not independently audited every provider’s licensing status.
