Runs entirely in your browser. No data leaves your device. Built by Grace Learning Tree School in Aledo, TX — free for every Parker County family. We don't preload Grace's tuition because that conversation belongs in a tour.
Free interactive tool. Enter the basics for the schools you're touring, layer in the value factors that matter to your family, and see the real comparison no front desk ever shows you.
Grace's full-day tuition is consistently $200–$500 per month less than the national-franchise preschools serving the Aledo and Parker County market — for comparable age programs, comparable hours, and a comparable calendar of operating days.
That range reflects observed advertised tuition (current as of 2025–2026) for full-day infant, toddler, Pre-K, and Kinder-equivalent programs at franchise locations in our service area. The comparison is apples-to-apples on hours and days of care, and excludes one-time registration fees, supply fees, and seasonal program fees — which typically widen the gap further.
Don't take our word for it. The calculator below is the same math we'd run, with your numbers. Enter what you've heard on tour and see the honest cost-per-day in plain dollars. We built it because we believe parents deserve to see the math, not just hear the marketing.
You can come back and change this anytime.
Use the numbers each school gave you in writing. Don't have all of them? Estimate, then update later — the math still works.
Cost is one input. If you'd like the tool to also factor in things that aren't on any brochure — faith fit, commute, outdoor space, food quality, how teachers interacted with your child — add them below and rate each school 1–5 stars. Or skip this step entirely and just hit Calculate for a pure cost comparison.
No marketing. Just the math.
We'll walk you through Grace's full fee schedule, school calendar, and curriculum in person — so you can finish the comparison with real numbers in context. Dawn personally leads every tour.

It computes the total annual cost, cost per actual open day, and cost per hour of childcare — and shows you the dollar difference per day, per week, per month, and per year. You can also add your own value factors (faith, location, outdoor space, food quality, etc.) and rate each school on each factor. The result is a complete decision picture combining cost reality and personal priorities.

No. While Grace Learning Tree built the calculator for Aledo families, the underlying math works for any preschool, daycare, or childcare center anywhere. Parents in any market can use it to compare options fairly.
Grace Learning Tree shares its tuition rates and full fee schedule in person during a tour, in the context of what the school actually provides. We don't publish tuition online because we've found pricing makes the most sense when families have seen the building, met the teachers, and understood what's included.
