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 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Is this out of date?
