Frequently Asked Questions

1How much does preschool cost in Greenwich?
Preschool in Greenwich costs $800-$1800 per month. Half-day programs cost roughly half of full-day. Montessori programs run higher. Some programs offer financial aid or sliding-scale tuition based on family income. Half-day programs (typically 8am-12pm) cost roughly half of full-day tuition.
2What age should my child start preschool?
Most preschools in Greenwich and Westchester County accept children ages 3-5. Some offer pre-K programs starting at age 2.5 if the child is potty-trained. The ideal age depends on your child's social readiness and developmental milestones — many parents find age 3 is a good starting point. Kindergarten readiness is the primary goal of preschool programs in this area.
3What is the difference between preschool and daycare in Greenwich?
Preschools focus on structured early education with curriculum, learning goals, and kindergarten readiness. Daycare centers provide full-day care with some educational activities but prioritize supervision and routine. Many Greenwich programs blend both approaches. Preschools typically run shorter hours (8am-12pm or 8am-3pm) while daycare offers full-day coverage until 5:30-6pm.
4Are there financial assistance programs for preschool in Greenwich?
New York families may qualify for the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP), administered through your local Department of Social Services. CCAP subsidizes childcare costs on a sliding scale based on income and family size. Some Greenwich preschools also offer their own financial aid or accept vouchers. Contact your county DSS office to apply and ask your preschool if they participate in the subsidy program.
5What accreditation should I look for in Greenwich preschools?
NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accreditation is the gold standard — it requires programs to meet rigorous standards for curriculum, teacher qualifications, and family engagement, and fewer than 10% of programs nationally earn it. In NY, all preschools must be licensed by OCFS (ocfs.ny.gov). Beyond licensing, look for NAEYC accreditation, state quality rating designations, and staff with early childhood education degrees. Ask about teacher credentials during your visit.
