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 our city fee benchmarks, compiled from what parents report actually paying and from published fee cards, updated for the current admission season. They are indicative ranges, not quotes.
