Is there a way to raise children for free?

I am looking into a mother's morning out program for the Princess:

2 days/week
8:30am - 12
Follows the county school schedule for holiday breaks & goes until the end of the school year.

They have a preschool curriculum:
Reading/Class time (learn letters, numbers, Bible stories)
Art class (finger paint, playdo, etc)
Music class (minister of music does this one)

They do Christmas & End of Year programs - have an Easter Egg hunt, Thanksgiving feast, dress up party for halloween

They will help teach potty training

They do one snack midmorning & have playground time ....

$110/mo Less than daycare ... but still, $110 for essentially 8 days a month? Would she be there enough to justify the travel time (10 min each way) & fee?

I know in the grand scheme $110 a month isn't that much, but this will wind up being $1090 after it's all said and done. I don't have $1090 to blow for her to blow bubbles and smoosh playdough 7 hours a week, you know what I mean?
