What do preschools in India cost per year?
Annual tuition ranges from about ₹25,000 at budget centres in smaller cities to ₹1,50,000+ at premium centres in metros. Playgroup and nursery are usually cheaper than full-day daycare programs.
Is the quoted monthly fee the full cost?
Rarely. On top of tuition, most schools charge a one-time admission or registration fee, a yearly kit charge for books and material, uniforms, and transport. A school quoting ₹8,000 a month can cross ₹1.3 lakh a year all-in - always ask for the all-inclusive annual figure in writing.
Where do these numbers come from?
From the Preschools Club city fee benchmarks: indicative ranges estimated by our team from published fee information, last reviewed in September 2026. They are not a survey of parents and not quotes. Fees vary from centre to centre, so confirm the current fee with the school in writing.
