Thread: school for 4yr old

Hi, I have a 2 year old and would like some info on preschools or playground in the kerobokan, canguu and Umalas areas. Has anyone any info on the Umalas village private school? Can't seem to get much.

We have been looking around for our two year old as well. AIS has a preschool program from 830 to 11, though we're looking for something a little longer.

I'm struggling to get info for my 2 year old as well - arrive on 18th of Feb and hope to be based around Seminyak. I looked at AIS, but like Tvashtar I need something longer - I would prefer less days per week but longer days :-)

I imagine it will be easier to find something when I am actually in Bali, so I will update here if I do :-)

There is a playgroup/ daycare in canguu called skoebi do that does care from 8-3. Check their website. A lOt of schools for 2 yr olds are mornings only 5 days a week. I mIght send my daughter to Skoebi as well. By the way If you are interested in meeting up with other mums and dads on a regular basis on weekends please let me know and I'll let you know when we next meet. Good luck with the schools.

Violette001, I went to school in Taman Rama School in Ubung (formerly known as Taman Mahatma Ghandi School). The school is pre-kindergarten all the way up to high school. The school has a diverse population, foreigners, mixed children, and Indonesians. They have both foreign and local teachers as well as the best facilities in comparison to most schools in Bali. Most importantly, it backed by a Cambridge program.

I had many fond memories attending the school and made life-long friends. Though, we are all now all over the world, my friends and I remain close and I have formed successful business ventures with a number of them. Overall, I had a great time. I hope this info was helpful.

wow what an interesting start to life these little kiddies will have. wish i could have moved about when my kids were little..

what sort of jobs do all these australians have. would love it.

My 3 yo and 5 yo go to Canggu Community School and they absolutely love it. Both of them have very good highly qualified teachers. Send the school an email and they'll send you their fee structure.

As for the Green school, it's a great idea, and a wonderful place, but there's no way I'd send my kids there.

School is by far our biggest expense in bali but my kids are having a great experience, meeting kids from all over the world (which is why I would never ever home school them).
