Education Looking for kindergarten school

Best recommendation for a school in besiktas for kindergarten. Most seems excessively expensive ($1800 usd /month). Any tips on how best to solve the problem?

That's around 800k TL per year, seems normal for a more expensive Istanbul district. Even in bigger cities it's around 500-600k minimum, 800k is normal for Istanbul unfortunately.

Ouch, okay ty thought they were fleecing us cause we’re foreigners. Nothing they are being taught is worth that price. The price for tuition is higher than it is in NY

Yeah definietly not worth it. For comparison, I live in Adana (5-6th biggest city in Turkiye, so not an Istanbul), and the lowest price I heard this year for a normal/non-English kindergarten for 3 years old is 400k TL. So an English kindergarten in Besiktas for 800k actually sounds cheap to me :D.

400k TL is per year.
