Also changed: toddler and preschool prices

Toddler: now $2,095 a month; was $1,995 (+$100, +5.0%).

Preschool: now $1,995 a month; was $1,895 (+$100, +5.3%). Seen in September 2026.

Is this normal? 8 of 42 Seattle centers we checked this summer and again this fall raised their prices. Too few to say how much a typical rise is.

Based on 42 Seattle centers whose own websites listed a price this summer and again this fall.

Why this usually happens: Across the country, child care prices rise most at the start of the school year. In federal price data from 2007 to 2025, August and September carried about half of a typical year’s increase.

Ask them: when the new price takes effect, whether it applies to families already enrolled, and when the next increase is planned.

Is this out of date?

Medium means the middle half of Seattle-area’s 859 licensed centers by state-licensed capacity: 41 to 114 children. Small is 6 to 40; large is 115 to 323.

The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
