Domino Effect
Gas prices are higher which has made food costs go up which has caused my daycare/preschool to raise their prices too. <Sigh>
My daycare/preschool tuition has gone up and up and up every year since I put my oldest son there nearly five years ago. Even the registration fee went up $10 last year, from $50 to $60. What about the registration process caused a $10 (20 percent) increase all of the sudden?
If my children weren’t “settled” there and the program wasn’t so good the rising cost is enough to drive me away. Fortunately, for my pocketbook at least, my oldest son will be starting kindergarten next year. The $3 a week increase in tuition for my 2-year-old will probably not be felt because of the $140 a week decrease when my oldest starts public school.
