I hear and feel your pain. Have you had an opportunity to talk to the school where you're currently sending your little boy? Explain the situation. Tell them that you and your child love the school, but financially it's a bit much. Ask them if there's anything that could possibly done, perhaps a scholarship. Sometimes schools, even preschools, have things like this. And something that I've learned, especially as a single mother is that it does not hurt to ask. The worse they can say is no. I know it can be somewhat embarrassing, but trust me - there are times when just asking is well worth the momentary embarrassment.
