I’m similar. I’m no longer paying $1700/month for preschool. My daughter goes to a T1 school with the highest percentage of kids at or below poverty in the district. I donate snacks monthly so the kids are fed, extra school supplies etc. and I check in regularly with her teacher to see how I can provide support. I can justify that easily!
My good lord. That's literally more expensive than my university tuition, which is ~$1,175/month. I know that's not the point you're making, but holy damn. For reference, a quick search says that in my province, daycare averages to about $320/month.
Back to the point, it's very generous of you to donate snacks and supplies to the new school. You've got a kind soul!
And $1700 is completely normal/lower end for our area! My friends pay $2200. I also have twins who are younger. They are in a part time 3x AM school… it’s still $425/month each.

I'm going to copy my response from another sub this picture was posted to last week:
My kid's class just earned a pizza party.
His teacher asked if parents wanted to donate pizza.
I'm paying for all of it because I can and I don't think teachers should have to spend any of their own money on the kids.
It's the least I can do for them educating my child.
