Frequently asked questions

There are 29 preschools in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Browse our directory to compare programs, read parent reviews, and find the best option for your child.
Most preschool programs in Philadelphia accept children between ages 2.5 and 5. Many children start at age 3 or 4, about one to two years before kindergarten. Look for signs of readiness such as being comfortable away from parents, ability to follow simple instructions, and interest in playing with other children.
While both provide childcare, preschools in Philadelphia typically focus more on structured educational activities to prepare children for kindergarten. Preschool programs often run half-day or school-year schedules, while daycare centers offer full-day, year-round care. Many facilities combine both, offering preschool curriculum within a full-day daycare setting.
Preschool costs in Philadelphia typically range from $600 to $1,500 per month for full-time programs. Half-day programs are usually less expensive. Some preschools offer financial aid, and Pennsylvania may have state-funded pre-K programs for qualifying families. Contact individual facilities for current tuition rates.
When selecting a preschool in Philadelphia, consider:
  • Visit the facility in person to observe the environment
  • Ask about teacher qualifications and experience
  • Check licensing status with Pennsylvania's regulatory agency
  • Review the curriculum and daily schedule
  • Read parent reviews for firsthand experiences
