Preschools in Russia

The childcare system

If you are a family with babies and young kids, you should find good childcare and pre-schools.

Before applying for schools, parents need to know what government childcare subsidies and daycare funding they can get.

Support groups

Upon arrival you can go to women’s clubs and kid’s clubs for expats. There you will know how to network with other foreign parents, discover more facilities and have a good time.

Choosing an international school

Often foreign parents choose the international schools in Russia especially when they need to stay temporarily in the host country. Qualifications such as the International Baccalaureate are becoming increasingly popular with people who relocate frequently.

Parents who know they will go back to their home land should select a foreign school system that allows easy move of their kids into their home-country education system upon return.

Choosing a local school

But if you want to stay in Russia for a long time then you should not go to international schools. If you go through the public primary education system in Russia it would be great. There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of the Russian education system and parents should take into consideration factors like the age of their kids and language spoken in Russia before making a choice.

Please make the right selection to know that your kids will benefit from your education abroad. If you set your kids globally then it will help them to develop intellectually, personally, emotionally and social skills to learn and work in this global world.
