expenses for pre-school

my grand daughter, who is 5 years old, is in the prepatory level now in a private pre-school. we had her enrollment and tuition fees scheduled into monthly payments because we can't afford to pay the whole amount of P24,500 or $530 at once. this is incredible amount of money for a pre-schooler to spend these days. in fact as what you have said, this amount is more or less the same amount one has spent in college few years back. it is true that education is very costly nowadays specially if your kids are enrolled in private schools. my grand kid is actually enrolled in a montessori pre school.
