    If you have started calling preschools in Kakinada, you already know the frustration. One school quotes a single big number. Another bundles everything into a vague "annual fee." A third adds charges you only discover months later. For a decision this important, the lack of clear information is exhausting.

    This guide fixes that. Instead of one confusing figure, it breaks a preschool fee into its real parts, lets you build exactly what your family needs using the interactive planner on this page, and arms you with the right questions to ask any school before you commit.

    Use the interactive tools on this page to:

    • Build your own fee estimate by choosing a program, a payment plan, and optional add-ons such as transport
    • See exactly what a transparent annual programme fee should include
    • Compare annual, half-yearly and term payment plans side by side
    • Copy a ready-made list of smart fee questions to ask on every tour
    • Request a personalised, itemised written quote for your child

    At Little Lumos — Kakinada's first Reggio Emilia inspired preschool — fees are programme-based, itemised, and shared in writing. Optional services like transport facility are billed separately and confirmed by route availability. We would rather you understand every rupee than be surprised by it. Exact 2026–27 amounts are confirmed during your campus visit, so the quote you receive is tailored to your child, not a generic price list.

    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.
