Here’s How That Fee Breaks Down

By Paulina Richter – Last updated Apr 28, 2023

Finding quality, affordable Child Care near you has always been a problem in San Diego, even before the pandemic. Now, between managing new work environments like work from home, remote hybrid setups, and financial challenges, parents and families are unfortunately still stuck paying high costs for care. Parents in San Diego are especially familiar with this struggle, given that cost of living in San Diego is 6% higher than California’s average and 49% higher than that of the entire country!

Other Things to Consider

In a perfect world, Child Care would be as simple as possible: pay for Child Care – that’s it. Unfortunately, there are some additional considerations to be made when planning your family’s expenses.

Food
Many care providers provide snacks, meals, or both, but others might require that parents take charge of the child’s diet and pack them a lunch. Some providers may be able to provide vegetarian or vegan meals, and occasionally some may be able to satisfy specialized needs such as gluten free, or nut allergy requirements.

Extra Activities
Some care providers have other programs in addition to their normal care. They may offer second-language programs to further stimulate your child’s learning process or have field trips to add a little adventure to their program. Providers may also offer physical activities like karate, taekwondo, gymnastics, or interactive arts and crafts. Finally, providers may also charge extra if they have to perform extra care, such as diaper changes or doing laundry.

So really, what is the all-in cost?
The reality is that even having the data-breakdown for San Diego by region, it’s hard to put a pen to a checkbook without knowing the hard figures. While knowing the average cost helps to get an idea of how much of your budget care is going to take up, there are still many variables to consider. Wanting your child to take up karate, learn a second language, or simply be close to your home when at the care facility are all factors that will affect the price. Your bill may end up being very different from the averages posted in this article.

What you need to pay for in kindergarten

Alexandra Koryakina

calculated the expenses for kindergarten

When the eldest child went to kindergarten, I only took into account the cost of parental fees in advance.

I got used to buying clothes and toys for my child, which I buy rationally: I take clothes when I need them, toys when the child really wants something. In fact, the expenses turned out to be much more, although my child goes to a regular municipal kindergarten.

I’ll tell you what expenses are in kindergarten, what you can save on and what you pay for at your own request.

Parental fee

Amount: about 3500 ₽ per month, depending on the region and number of visits

Parental fee is the daily cost of public kindergarten services.

Art. 65 of the Federal Law “On Education”

When parents enter into an agreement with a kindergarten, the cost of one day is prescribed there. It is determined by the administration of the institution and regulated by regional legislation, which establishes the maximum amount of the fee.

The monthly amount depends on how many days the child went to kindergarten. If he falls ill or you want to miss the day for family reasons, you need to write to the teacher so that the child is taken off the diet. Then the days that he did not go to the garden will not have to be paid.

In 2023, one day costs 166.57 rubles. If the child walks for a whole month, in which there are 22 working days, then the fee for this time is 3665.54 ₽. Usually, once a year, the cost increases, and parents are given an additional agreement, which spells out the new cost for one day.

How to save money. The parental fee can be reduced. To do this, you need to write an application for compensation for its part. We are given such a statement in January of each year by the teacher of the group. The amount of compensation is set by the regional authorities, but according to the law there are minimum coefficients:

1. For the first child – from 20% of the parental fee.
2. For the second child — from 50%.
3. For the third child and subsequent ones – from 70%.

Part 5 Art. 65 Federal Law “On Education”

In some regions, compensation is provided only to large or low-income families, for example, in the Yaroslavl region. In others, compensation may be increased for individual cases – as in the Sakhalin Region, where the compensation for the third child and subsequent ones is 100%.

Part 3 Art. 71<1> of the Law of the Yaroslavl Region dated December 19, 2008 No. 65-z

p. 1.2 of the Regulation, approved. by Decree of the Government of the Sakhalin Region dated February 22, 2019 No. 78

We have no restrictions in Nizhny Novgorod. I receive a 20% compensation, since the first child goes to kindergarten. The money comes back to the card with which I pay the receipt for the parental fee.

p. 4 of the Order, approved. By Decree of the Government of the Nizhny Novgorod Region dated December 31, 2013 No. 1033

Since September 2022, I have been paying for kindergarten with maternity capital, I talked about this in detail in another article. Since I have a parental fee compensation, there are nuances. Only 80% of the payment is transferred from the mother’s capital, and I pay the remaining 20%. But the same 20% is returned to my card as compensation.

Clothes

Amount: from 5000 ₽ per year

When my son went to kindergarten, he had a separate category of purchases – I call it “kindergarten clothes”. I heard a story from a friend how her friend spent 15,000 rubles to dress her child in kindergarten. Each parent decides for himself what clothes to buy and how much. I try to spend money rationally, and my amount came out much less – 5658 ₽.

In August, I inspect my garden clothes and buy what I need. Here are the main items of expenditure.

Casual wear. Now the set of everyday clothes for my son looks like this: two pairs of pants, four T-shirts, sandals. There are also spare pants and a T-shirt in the kindergarten, they were left over from last year.

Pants cost 768 ₽ — bought in Detsky Mir. Relatives gave two T-shirts to my son, I took the other two to Wildberry for 380 ₽ – after six months they are still in good condition. I bought sandals in Detsky Mir for 1000 ₽.

Even in the garden they ask to bring pajamas, but my son does not stay for an afternoon nap. Yes, and children still sleep in shorts and T-shirts, because it is warm in the kindergarten.

This is what my son’s entire garden wardrobe looks like

Clothes for physical education. Kindergarten PE classes usually require black shorts and a plain white T-shirt. I bought them in “Daughters⁠-⁠sons”, I paid 350 ₽ for everything. It is better to buy two such sets for a shift, you can get by with one, but you will have to wash it on the weekend. I bought only one, because we got the replacement one from our nephew. I need Czech shoes for my feet, I bought them at Sportmaster for 280 ₽.

Clothes for holidays. The son likes to dress “like a gentleman”, for this he has black trousers, a white shirt, a vest and a bow tie. This whole set would cost about 2500 ₽, but the son has been wearing trousers and a bow tie for the third year. Pants were the most expensive – 1500 ₽, bought at Acoola. This academic year, I only took a shirt and a vest from Detsky Mir for 700 ₽.

It is not necessary to dress the child in classic. Sometimes the son just wears jeans and a shirt. We don’t need to buy festive shoes – children put on Czech shoes for the holidays.

There are themed matinees when a child has a role, which means they need a costume. In this regard, we were lucky: the music director provided costumes for New Year’s matinees. My only waste was the purchase of drawing paper and gouache for a fly agaric hat for the autumn holiday.

My son’s favorite holiday outfit

I made this fly agaric costume for the autumn holiday with my own hands

Parent fees

Amount: about 2000 ₽ per year 900 03

Many parents have a bad attitude towards fees in kindergartens and schools. There are those who do not participate in them. And if we are talking about mandatory fees for repairs, then this is completely illegal – the kindergarten is obliged to ensure the maintenance of its buildings.

Art. 9 of the Federal Law “On Education”

In our garden, this is really a parental initiative, which is organized voluntarily. Basically, these are birthday and New Year gifts for children, gifts for staff for holidays, educational materials, workbooks, small expenses for office supplies and a first aid kit. In general, everything that will help the child in development and leave him and his parents with pleasant impressions of going to kindergarten.

Usually we donate 2,000 ₽, but this academic year we rented an additional 1,000 ₽ for a kindergarten access card system – it was installed at the request of the parents.

Children received such sweet gifts this New Year thanks to the parental fee

Paid lessons

Amount: about 120 ₽ per lesson, additional 500 ₽ for workbooks

90 008 This academic year, paid school preparation classes and a theater studio appeared in our kindergarten. In the theater studio, children put on small performances. For example, in winter they performed in front of other children and their parents with the fairy tale “The Wolf and the Seven Kids”. But my son does not go there, as these classes overlap with his judo training.

But I signed him up for preschool classes. Lessons are held twice a week for 30 minutes. On them, children learn numbers, counting, reading. In March, an open lesson was held for parents, at which they showed how children learn letters and sounds in a playful way. The child likes to go to “Doshkolenok”, and I notice the result from these classes.

This is convenient when classes are held in a kindergarten and you don’t have to take your child anywhere, besides, it comes out on a budget. Both in the theater studio and in Doshkolenka, one lesson costs 126.46 ₽, you only need to pay for those classes that the child attended.

Workbooks had to be purchased for preparation. Two notebooks for work in the kindergarten “From A to Z” – 162 ₽ and “Counting to 10” – 75.6 ₽, one for homework “ABC. My first textbook” — 260 ₽. Notebooks were ordered for everyone by the parent committee, but they were thrown off for them separately, since not all children go to Preschool. Back in January, we bought a fan with vowels – 100 ₽.

In the notebook “ABC. My first textbook ”we consolidate at home with our son what we learned in class

Total: from 150 ₽ for one photo

Several times a year a photographer comes to the kindergarten and arranges a thematic photo session with children. Children are photographed with props, and then the photographer superimposes the appropriate background on the photo. Themes can be festive, such as New Year and May 9, or related to your favorite characters from cartoons and video games.

Cost from 150 to 800 ₽ – depending on the desired size and number of photos. Participation is voluntary, but usually parents do not want to leave their child alone when everyone is taking pictures. A couple of times my son skipped photo shoots, but of his own free will – he was not interested in topics.

I always choose the photo format 10 × 15, because it is convenient to store such photos in a children’s album – one photo costs 150 ₽. I take three copies: for myself and two grandmothers. It turns out that a photo session in kindergarten costs me 450 ₽.

3. The components of the payment in kindergarten
4. Forming the amount of the fee
5. Responsible for setting the fee

Gender Nursery school fees are compulsory monthly payments that parents pay for their child’s kindergarten stay. It is a complex payment that includes various components.

The main component of the parental fee is the payment for the maintenance and education of the child. This includes the cost of food, care, classes, medical care and other necessary services in the kindergarten. However, the volume and cost of these services may vary depending on the region and the level of the kindergarten.

In addition, additional services and material costs may be included in the parental fee. For example, these can be classes in various circles and sections, the use of additional inventory or equipment, as well as payment for additional pedagogical services.

The parental fee is set by the kindergarten or municipality. Usually, it is determined by the standards and tariffs set by the relevant authorities. However, the amount of the fee may vary depending on the income of the parents, the number of children in the family and other factors that are taken into account when determining the cost of a child’s stay in kindergarten.

Composition of the parental board in kindergarten and responsible for its installation

The parental fee in kindergarten includes several components. Firstly, it is payment for the child’s stay in an institution, which includes food, care and development. The amount of this part of the fee is set by the kindergarten management, which takes into account the costs of maintaining the institution and the qualifications of teaching staff.

Secondly, parents may be required to pay for additional services provided by the kindergarten. These can be classes on additional development programs, holding holidays, excursions, etc. The amount of the additional fee depends on the quantity and quality of the services provided.

Also, the parental fee may include payment for children’s materials and consumables (toys, stationery, etc.) that are used in the process of education and development of children. The kindergarten management determines the amount of this fee, based on the necessary costs for the purchase and updating of materials.

The main document regulating parental fees is an agreement between parents and kindergarten. It indicates the full composition of payments and the responsibility of each party for timely payment.

Main components of the fee

The parental fee for kindergarten consists of several main components. Firstly, it includes a fee for the child’s stay in the group. It is determined based on the number of hours a child spends in kindergarten each day. The more hours the child is in the group, the higher the stay fee will be.

Secondly, the parental fee includes food. For each child, the daily cost of meals is calculated, which depends on the type of meal (full or partial board). The calculation takes into account the age of the child and his nutritional needs.

The parental kindergarten fee may also include additional services provided by the kindergarten. For example, these may be classes in additional programs (music, visual arts, etc.), use of additional services (sleep, extra walks, etc. ) or payment for consumables (toys, stationery, etc.). Specific additional services are determined by each specific kindergarten.

The amount of the parental fee for the kindergarten is set by the kindergarten itself on the basis of calculations and costs associated with the maintenance and organization of the work of the children’s group. It may vary depending on the city and region, type of kindergarten, quality of services provided and other factors. In addition, fees may be regulated by municipal or regional education authorities.

Elements of payment in kindergarten

The payment for the stay of a child in kindergarten usually includes several components. Understanding these elements will help parents understand what they are paying for and what services they are receiving.

1. The program of education and upbringing. The parental fee usually includes payment for the provision of educational and educational programs in kindergarten. This may include various activities, games, developmental activities and other activities aimed at the development of the child.

2. Nutrition. The fee for kindergarten may include payment for the child’s meals during the day. Typically, a kindergarten offers a full three meals a day, including breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Parents may be required to pay extra if the child has specific dietary needs.

3. Medical care. Parental fees often include medical care, such as medical check-ups, child health checks, first aid if necessary, and other medical services that may be needed during the day.

4. Logistics. The payment may also include the cost of logistical support for the kindergarten – the purchase of toys, books, class materials, equipment and other necessary items.

5. Administrative expenses. Part of the payment may be intended to pay for the administrative costs associated with the maintenance and organization of the activities of the kindergarten. This includes the work of administrative staff, payment for management and support services, and cleaning of the premises.

It is important to note that the size and composition of these payment elements may vary depending on the particular kindergarten and its offered services. Parents of a child usually receive detailed information about the composition of the parental fee from the administration of the kindergarten before visiting it.

Board sizing

The amount of the parental fee for kindergarten is formed on the basis of several factors. The status of the family and the level of income of the parents are of primary importance. The higher the income, the higher the parental fee will be.

Legislation establishes the maximum amount of fees for a child’s stay in kindergarten. However, each municipality has the right to establish its own local regulations and rules for calculating the fee, within the maximum amount established by law.

In some cases, the amount of the fee may be reduced or exempted from payment, depending on the social status of the family and the eligibility for benefits. For example, families with many children, low-income families, or children in need of special around-the-clock care may be eligible for additional benefits.

In some cases, kindergarten fees may be set based on additional services provided by the childcare facility. For example, if a kindergarten has specialized development programs, active nutrition, school preparation classes, etc., then the parental fee can be increased accordingly.

Responsible for setting the amount of the fee

The amount of the parental fee for the kindergarten is set by the competent authorities, which are responsible for the financial component of the kindergarten. Usually these are municipal departments or departments of education, depending on the organizational structure of each region.

Fees are set based on various factors, including budget constraints, kindergarten costs, teachers’ salaries, reimbursement for meals and other services.
