Think about convenience, cost, language, opportunity and education\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Are you looking for formal learning, with a curriculum, or informal play?<\/strong><br \/>\nSocial skills will be a given in both situations but some parents want to get a head start and some preschools offer formal lesson plans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do you want an immersive language experience?<\/strong><br \/>\nLocal nurseries are often willing to take expat children but there are also International pre-schools if you prefer an English-speaking environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Will it be more convenient to be based near home or near work?<\/strong><br \/>\nThink about your commute; if you drop your child off near your work that might be nice for you \u2013 but if you have an hour or more on public transport to get there and back, that might not be the best option for the child.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What are your working hours going to be like?<\/strong><br \/>\nDo you need all day childcare, or do you want to keep a part of the day for yourself too?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you\u2019re not working (for those whose spouse initiate the move) then do you need nursery placements at all?<\/strong><br \/>\nThey\u2019re only little once; if you can make the most of spending those formative years together it can be a really rewarding experience for both of you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Can you afford childcare?<\/strong><br \/>\nDifferent countries have different provisions. From September 2017, new UK guidelines award 30 free nursery hours per week to working families &#8211; but this is not the case everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of this process you should have achieved some clarity about hours, aims, location and cost. Armed with this information, you can start to put out the feelers.<\/p>\n<h3>Research<\/h3>\n<p>At \u2018home\u2019 this is a much easier process, as you have the luxury of being able to visit each nursery in turn, talk to the staff and get a feel for whether it\u2019s the right fit. If you\u2019re moving <em>before<\/em> you look for a placement this approach remains the best \u2013 get in there and find out all about it &#8211; however, if you\u2019re planning your childcare <em>pre<\/em>-move this will almost certainly not be an option. So, what can you do instead?<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important things to research is legislation. Many countries don\u2019t start formal education until a child is 7 or 8, so preschool care becomes even more important if you have to work. In some countries \u2013 such as Germany \u2013 home schooling is illegal and children must be enrolled in a school by the age of 6. Don\u2019t overlook the differences in law, make sure you fully understand them.<\/p>\n<h3>Go online<\/h3>\n<p>Use search engines to explore what nurseries and kindergartens are available in your chosen area and yes, you guessed it\u2026make a list!<\/p>\n<h3>Network<\/h3>\n<p>Find other expats in your new location \u2013 social media is great for this! \u2013 and ask them what their experiences of local pre-school provisions have been like. Get to know a few of them and ask really probing questions; find out about the staff, the facilities, the schedules and the outdoor space. Your child is precious, there\u2019s no such thing as too much information!<\/p>\n<h3>Send emails<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s so easy these days to contact anyone, anywhere in the world, at any time. Email each of the establishments you\u2019re interested in and pitch your list of questions. Ask for photographs, information, curriculum and anything else they can think of that will help you to make a choice. As well as the information you receive, the amount of effort that goes into the response may give you a further insight into whether they deserve your wonderful child or not!<\/p>\n<h3>Keep love at the centre of everything<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, that sounds ridiculous, patronising and obvious &#8211; but stress and ticking clocks can lead to pressured decisions \u2013 and they are rarely the best. Your child is your world. Take your time, talk to everyone you can, pester people for answers, be a nuisance and do it with enthusiasm and love!<\/p>\n<h4>See also:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"Permalink to: \"How to choose a kindergarten or pre-school overseas\"\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/choose-kindergarten-overseas\/\">How to choose a kindergarten or pre-school overseas<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"Permalink to: \"Finding a nursery, school or university when abroad\"\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/finding-nursery-school-university-abroad\/\">Finding a nursery, school or university when abroad<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;\" title=\"Permalink to: \"What to expect from a bilingual kindergarten\"\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/what-expect-bilingual-kindergarten\/\">What to expect from a bilingual kindergarten<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choosing early years education overseas We\u2019re often told that children who spend time in a nursery or kindergarten will develop better social skills, will learn more \u2013 and faster \u2013 will be better able to manage problems independently and will, all in all, become more rounded human beings.
