    The three real parts

    How a Preschool Fee Is Actually Structured

    Almost every preschool fee, anywhere in Kakinada, breaks down into the same three buckets. Once you can see them clearly, comparing schools becomes far easier.

    Once at admission

    Admission registration

    A one-time charge covering admission processing, child profile setup, the welcome learning kit, uniform set, and the parent-and-child orientation.

    Every academic year

    Programme fee

    The core annual fee. Covers the full Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum, atelier materials, learning resources, documentation reports, parent-teacher meetings, and standard school events.

    Only if you opt in

    Optional add-ons

    Transport, Day Care extension hours, meal plans, and holiday camps are billed separately — never bundled into the core programme fee.

    Inside the annual fee

    What the Programme Fee Includes

    At Little Lumos there is no bare-minimum tuition with everything bolted on later. The annual programme fee already covers what truly shapes your child's day.

    Reggio Emilia inspired curriculum for ages 2–6
    All atelier art supplies and learning materials
    Safe, screen-free, air-conditioned campus
    Low teacher-to-child ratios
    Photo journals, learning stories & parent-teacher meetings
    Festival celebrations and standard school events

    Pay your way

    Compare the Three Payment Plans

    Annual

    Best value

    One payment for the full academic year.

    Lowest effective fee

    Half-yearly

    Two equal payments, one per term start.

    Small admin fee

    Term

    Three smaller payments across the year.

    Easiest cash flow

    Tip: the annual plan almost always carries the lowest effective fee, but a term plan can ease cash flow for new families. Neither changes what your child receives in the classroom.
