Post subject: Best kindergartens/pre-schools

My wife and I are looking for kindergartens/pre-schools for our son. We want him to start when he's around 18 months, but we can't find anything that's affordable.

I don't know why, but the kindergartens here charge, in my opinion, insane amounts of money, and we don't have an expatriate package.
With the prices they charge here, as an example, the Montessori school, I could fly my son back home and rent a villa for him to live in with an Aupair Smile

All feedback is greatly appreciated!

The Sorensen family.

Do a search on this forum. There are countless threads on this. It would also help if you put your location.

Tried that already, but most of the threads are really old and things go from bad to worse really quick here in Shanghai Smile

We live in Pudong though.

Hi,

Our principal Janice Sigrist opend our school just in Sept. Our English Immersion kindergarten program is designed for children aged 2 to 6. We use an Americn-based curriculum, which is organized to address all areas of learning and meet the needs of all of our students.

I hope sometime you can stop by and check the school.

BTW, we also have Mommy and Me program and we will have our demo class this Thursday from 10am to 11am. Call me if you are interested in and I am looked forward to see you.

Bright Start

Again, the quality of your spam has increased. Only a few errors - your proof-reader isn't bad.

If you'd like, for a small fee (5 jiao per word), you could PM me future spam and I could correct it for you - unsolicited advertisements for schools are much better received when written correctly.

I have to agree with you trousers. I might have gone there, but the English just smells like a Chinese run service Smile

By the way, 5 jiao is waaaaayyy too little!

Hi Erin,

Sorry, too far away and we don't trust the school bus system here in Shanghai. The drivers basically don't follow any rules and I've seen some pretty scary driving even buses driving kids for International Schools Smile
