Yangon - Post Report Question and Answers

Are preschools available? Day care? Are these expensive? What has been your experience with them, if any? Do the schools provide before- and/or after-school care?

Most families hire a nanny to take care of younger kids at home. - May 2019


Yes, there are many and the market is growing. People seem satisfied with all the options, and annual cost ranges from about $4,000 on up (way up, if that's what you want). People also generally have nannies and no school takes kids below 18 months. There are after-school activities but no before- or after-care at the schools. - Mar 2019


There's a range of preschools and day care programs. Some are much more expensive than others. Not always the best is the most expensive. - Feb 2017


We have American friends with young children who are happy with their preschools. Nannies are often used here as well. - Apr 2014


There is a huge preschool called Network run by a British lady, and small French pre-school. Depends on your taste. There is a Rainbow daily day care place that is also good. - Jul 2010


The most popular preschool in town is Network, but there are others. Network is the school they all compare to, though. Domestic help is available, and very affordable. Most families with young children have one or two Nannies. - Apr 2009
