Phuket Pre-Schools, Nurseries & Kindergartens
Whether your a single parent or a complete family unit, you will always want to give your kids the best start in life – no matter where you re-locate too. For those of you that have been looking at property in Phuket but also need to make sure the local area offers good schooling for your little ones, we’ve compiled a list of the local Nurseries, Kindergartens and Preschools in Phuket.
For toddlers, getting the right kind of social interaction with other kids of similar ages is simply invaluable, especially when it comes to moving abroad and having to potentially learn another language. For parents that are searching for property in Phuket, they are spoilt for choice in regards to Nurseries, Kindergartens and Preschools.
Studies show that children who have been enrolled in preschool at a young age, often perform better as they reach further education in schools and colleges. Experts even go as far as to suggest it’s not just important for children, but perhaps essential.
For kids it’s a way of them to mix with other children, have fun and make a mess. But there is no solid argument against having your kids enrolled in nursery or kindergarten as it will provide them with a solid foundation of learning and interaction for their school years.
What Are The Types Of Pre-Schooling In Phuket
Some of the pre-schooling in Phuket starts at a very early age, similar to a ‘Creche’ that’s used by working parents in their country of origin, so let’s break down the different kind of schooling options available in Phuket for all ages.
Nursery & Pre-School
Both of these Phuket Pre-School options can be started from anywhere between 18 months to 2 years old. It’s referred to as “Pre-K” on the island and will typically be available to your children up to ages 4 or 5.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten is the child’s fist step in being involved in a little more “academic” kind of learning as opposed to the pre-school. It’s certainly not as intense as “proper” school, but will allow the child to have some experience in school learning. Kindergarten is available to children up until the age that they are available to start First Grade / Year 1 of schooling.
It’s the stepping stone of schooling between fun and messy play at nursery and the dreaded first “big boy/school” school.
Preschools and Kindergartens in Phuket
It’s for the best that we don’t go through an exhaustive list of each of the schools in Phuket, as many of them are aimed for the local Thai families. It’s also not for us to give in-depth recommendations for each other them as most parents will be looking for a good school for their children, but also have different needs.
Instead we’ve compiled a list of the Nurseries, Kindergartens and Preschools in Phuket for you to look at yourself and decide what is best for your needs. Here are the Nurseries, Kindergartens and Preschools that we are familiar in Phuket that are predominantly English-speaking, starting from the south of the island and moving northwards, they are:
