Before the big international school debate starts, it all begins with nursery, pre-school or kindergarten and lucky for us, here in Bangkok there are many places parents can choose from. Never under estimate the importance of fun and the role fun though learning plays in early childhood development.

Your child’s early years education is more than a preparation for primary school. It is a key time for the holistic development of a child’s social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs in order to create a solid and broad foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing. It is throughout their early years where they establish an understanding of their world, social and language skills, and the ability to approach problems and work with others.

The early years foundation stage is catagorised from birth to 5 years old and much emphasis has been placed on the importance of learning through play. Lucky for us, Bangkok has an excellent choice of early years schools using and adapting different styles of curriculum allowing kids to learn through a playful fun experience. Below we have listed all the wonderful early years schools in one simple and easy to use blog post identified by area with links directly to each school, happy browsing!

Larger schools Pre-K to Year 11 or Year 13

Many of the larger schools start at pre-kindergarten and while many parents may prefer to start their kids off in smaller schools and then proceed onto a bigger school, there have been many benefits shown from starting kids in a larger school. Primarily the transition into a larger school environment is easier for them, and if you have kids of different school ages this can make dropping them all off in one place so much easier!
