Our Savior Lutheran Preschool of McKinney

TUITION AND REGISTRATION FEES FOR THE COMING 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, BEGINNING IN AUGUST OF 2024

Due to overall expenses:  supplies, labor, utilities, and inflation and to sustain the quality of our program, Our Savior regrets to have to raise our prices for the next 2024-2025 school year.  After comparing our new prices with other faith-based and secular schools, we remain one of the most reasonably priced schools.  We are one of the only schools that gives a sizable monthly discount (15%) to siblings attending the program and one of the only programs that charges aftercare for just the amount used.  Our aftercare and tuition fees remain extremely reasonable and affordable.  The following prices will become effective in June of 2024 for Summer Camp and in August of 2024 for the regular 2024-2025 school year.

Our Savior strives to meet the schedules, needs and convenience of all our parents.

Our school is 30 minutes longer than other preschool and begins at 8:45 and ends at 2:15 to accommodate the schedule of our parents.  Instead of 5 hours per day, Our Savior offers a five and a half-hour per day for the same price that most schools charge for a five hour program. Also, many faith-based schools offer only four days per week, but Our Savior offers a 5-day program to all ages.

We are one of the only faith-based schools that have extended hours to fit the parent’s needs.  Our extended care fees of $6.75 an hour are among the lowest fees offered by any school for before and aftercare.  Our extended hours are 7:00 am – 8:45 am and 2:15 pm – 5:30 pm.  Using our extended care hours requires no pre-arrangement with the school. Parents are charged for the exact time and minutes that they use at the rate of only $6.75 per hour.
